We all have lessons to teach

With my business I talk to anyone that will meet with me regardless of the line of work that they are in, because I learn something from everyone.  This is very true in our personal life as well, we can learn something from everyone and everyone can learn from us.  Typically, a person would say that we all have lessons to learn, which is true but every single one of us has a lesson to teach.  I dont want to make this blog into a self promotion piece, because that is not why I created it, but in order to teach you what I have learned I must tell you a little about what I experience.  Weekly I have people tell me that I am an inspiration to them, that I am admired, other business people are now asking me to help them because they see what I have done.  I went to my hometown this past weekend and typically people do not know when I am in town, so when I ran into old friends at the local bar it was nice to have people come up to me and be excited to see me, wouldn't you?  Sounds golden doesn't it, on the outside I put on a pretty good show, but on the inside I am confused and unmotivated.

The lesson that I would like to share with you today is that it is ok to ask for help.  We dont need to broadcast our weaknesses, in fact I would highly advise against it, people judge, we all do and having to worry about judging just adds to our stress.

The stress of my marriage ending has been the worst type of stress I have ever faced and I have pretty much hit every major life stresser on the list in the last two years.  It was so bad that I requested some volume from my doctor, I typically do not take medication of any type, not even over the counter, because I believe that our body and spirit have an amazing way of healing itself.  However, the stress was causing physical problems that were pretty debilitating.  I took one pill the afternoon it was prescribed and it was terrible, it didn't help other than to take away the pain caused by the stress, other than that it made me into what felt like was a zombie.  I only took one more of those pills and it was at bed time.  Well today, I realized that I need help.  I cant continue to be able to care for my three monsters grow an enormous empire and deal with a divorce if I can't even concentrate on what I need to get done on any given day.  So I called my doctor, who happens to be a wonderful friend and confidant to get a prescription for an anti-depressant.

I need help and if I have to take a little medication to balance me out for a little bit, it is ok.  I am not advocating that people drown out all the noise in our heads with synthetic chemicals, what I am saying is that it is ok to admit that we are not strong all the time and it is ok to not advertise it.

I work really hard at looking for the best in every single situation, to be thankful for every thing around me, but sometimes life just get loud and it is hard to focus, so I asked for help.

I promise you my next blog will be about something a little more lighthearted, because my life is very very good and on the verge of getting so much more amazing.
