For the record…changing your life is not an easy task. It takes determination, perseverance and a willingness to bravely leap into the unknown. When you don’t fully understand what you’re getting into, things will feel a bit sketchy at first, but if you stay on course and allow yourself to feel awkward and maybe a little scared, you will reach your destination undaunted.

You see, sometimes you have to push yourself to the brink of your abilities in order to realize you need assistance from someone further down the path than you—someone who can act as a guide and show you the way. Sure, everyone would love to believe that they have accomplished everything in their lives on their own and they have done so completely immune to the forces of change, but this is all a fanciful charade.
Consider this scene…have you ever been working on a crossword puzzle for what seems like an eternity and then someone walks up and takes the piece you are holding in your hand and places it exactly where it belongs in the image? It doesn’t matter if you were holding that obstinate piece for a couple hours or even a couple minutes, it’s always a humbling experience to accept assistance for any task in your life, be it mundane or difficult. But, accept help you must! Do it early and do it often if you want to make the most meaningful progress in the least amount of time.
If you have reached a veritable stalemate in some area of your life and are longing to break free from inertia, you must allow someone to assist you in putting the pieces of your life together. You may need their help with one piece or several pieces, but make no mistake, accepting the guidance of this helping hand may be the only way you will ever complete your life’s puzzle and reveal the masterpiece that lie hidden within.
Remember, the foolish slowly try to become an expert in everything they do, while the wise quickly surround themselves with expertise and inevitably become who they were destined to be.
