More Than One

For a very long time, I thought I had to achieve success on my own. I wanted to do it by myself. I didn’t want to share the credit. I didn’t want to have to figure out how to compensate those who helped me along the way. Actually, to be honest, I wanted to keep all of the benefits (particularly the money) for myself. I didn’t want to deal with all of the hassles associated with people.

If you have any thoughts and feelings similar to what I have written above, please, please, please clear that stuff out! That kind of thinking will keep your life small. It will frustrate you and lead to burnout. Without a team of quality people around you, you cannot achieve holistic success. Without friends and colleagues and partners, you will not be able to give what you were created to give to the world.

When I started to attract people who were interested in helping and supporting me in achieving my goals, they started to show me what is really possible. I started to get it. I started to see how their lives were enriched by all of their relationships. I started to see how they were all able to create value for each other. I saw how they actually liked and supported each other. I saw how one person’s success was celebrated by everyone.

Don’t try to go it alone. Let other people be a part of your story. Focus on what you have to offer before focusing on what you can get from others. There’s a lot more to say about this, but I gotta run…to hang with a couple of my teammates!
