The important thing is that we learn to not be afraid to ask for help. The tough, mysterious, “do it on my own” cowboy persona has been drilled into so many people, that instead of asking for help, people go on in life not doing the things they really want to. They don’t experience life. They sit in the corner of life watching everybody else experience it, while wishing they could just get off the chair and out of the corner.
I know this to be true, because this was me. For the first 30 plus years of my life I was a spectator. The only way you could get me to come out of my self imposed prison was with a bunch of drinks. Eventually, I decided that wasn’t going to work for me anymore. I was going to have to break out of this shell, especially if I was going to have a successful sales career.
After working on my shy, introverted personality, I was able to begin to live life like I always wanted to.
