Welcome to the bevy podcast. I'm hired Howard, your host here on the bevy. We have fun, thoughtful conversations with friends. Pull a seat up to the table Come chill with Yo what's up. It is day number 16 of the gratitude challenge, day number 16. And my grateful for today is. A reminder that we all need a little help. Every now and then I was reminded of this truth recently. Really. you might be familiar with that African proverb. If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you wanna go far, go together. And it came to mind after I was speaking to someone recently. About just different things and. There. Advice was well. Just remember. That everyone needs. A helping hand. And it's so true. So often. It's easy to get into the mindset that we need to do everything by ourselves. There's that strain of rugged individualism that exists within our culture, that praises. The hero for taking on everything against overwhelming odds. They overcame. But the reality is that we all need help. Think about it for a second. When you go in alone. How does that leave? You? Think about the last time that you decided to move something that was very, very heavy. By yourself when you knew you probably should have just called a friend or someone to help you out. Or. Think about the last time that you put together some furniture and the instructions explicitly said that it required two people and you said, nah, I'll be okay. How long did it take you to put it together? Come on. Be honest. And I totally get it. I've done the same thing before. But when I decide. That I should ask for help and they actually follow through on it. The results are amazing. And I think. Beyond being able to share what might be a considerable burden and not having to be frazzled after looking at a set of instructions. Not knowing what to do or how to put it together without help. But. When I decided to ask for help. You are able to invite someone in and when you invite someone in, they begin to share your same goal. You're working towards the same goal. And when you achieve whatever it is that you're seeking to achieve. The success is all the more sweeter. I've experienced this firsthand. Putting together this podcast. You know, for the gratitude challenge, you hear me speaking to you day in, day out, but. Behind the scenes. I am seeking hope for Michelle, my wife from my sister, my mom, my friends, you listeners. And. The podcast is all the better for it. So. Just a reminder today that everybody needs a helping hand. And when you ask for help. The joy that you are will experience will be all the sweeter. Take it easy until next time Peace
