Good morning and welcome to the Increaser Impact Podcast. I'm Justin Sua episode 1,850.

I recently came across a quote and what I mean recently literally like 10 seconds ago that I really liked.

And it's from a gentleman named Mitchell C. Clarke and he says this quote,

the best writers in the world need editors. You lead athletes, need skill coaches. Therapeutists, need therapy.

Eating help doesn't mean you're bad at what you do. It means you're smart enough to know that you'll never be the happiest, most aligned, or most fulfilled version of yourself if you try to do everything alone.

I like this a lot because on our individual journeys, in order to achieve what we want to achieve, it's going to require help.

It's going to require help from others. It's going to require help from teammates. And a lot of times people don't realize we need help.

Sometimes there's a stigma around asking for help of any kind because we think we look less competent, we look incapable, we're not as smart, we're not as strong.

But the reality is when you ask for help and show vulnerability, it's not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength to be able to ask for help.

And so my question for you today is as you're thinking about your journey and thinking about your path and thinking about what you need, what is it you need help with right now?

It could be something simple, something technical, something tactical, it could be something deeper. But what do you need help with right now?

And who can you ask for help in that thing? Some of you know exactly who it is, you know exactly who you need to call or go to.

And then some of you might need to look up someone to help you with this process. And so for your journal, for your journal prompt today is what aspects in your life do you need help with and where can you possibly go for help?

And choose on that, think about that. And it takes a lot of strength and courage to ask for help, it really does. But just like you said, the best athletes in the world, every all of the best performance in the world have a coach, that person with outside perspective that can help you along your journey.

Does it mean you're weak? It just means that you're willing to do whatever it takes to get better at what you do. Have a great day and we'll do it again tomorrow.
