Surround Yourself With People You Can Rely on to Build Resilience
Have you ever wondered how people who never give up are empowered to do so? How do they continue to act when everyone is against them? It turns out that the people they surround themselves with can play a big role in their resilience.
As writer Nathan Contney explains on Quartz, the idea that certain people simply have undeniable willpower that most of us can never match is something of a myth. In fact, most people, even very cool ones! If you really want to develop a never say die mentality, then you need a group of people who will encourage this mindset. What does asking for help mean:
Finally, don’t be afraid to be honest with all of these connections and actually ask them for help. Too many of us, especially those of us in business, suffer in isolation. We tend to hide difficult times from friends and people who might be able to help. This is because problems can be a lot like failure.
We often act like an emotional island and overcoming problems is a wonderful trait, but in reality it usually just leads to more mistakes and a loss of productivity. Relying on the help of others not only supports you, but also helps everyone keep going when it’s easy to give up.
