Dear Change Agent,
YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALL YOURSELF.
You said yes to the challenge.
You pride yourself on being a get-it-done kind of person.
You’re creative and resourceful.
You’re a person with a lot on their plate, but you said yes, because that’s what you do.
It makes you feel good to say yes.
Sometimes it’s easier to say yes then it is to say no or to push back.
Sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees and you just keep hacking away.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALL YOURSELF.
And, in most cases, it’s better if you don’t.
You’re surrounded by people who care about your mission.
You’re surrounded by people who are ready to jump in and help, if you’ll just tell them what you need them to do.
You’re surrounded by people who have faced what you have faced and figured it out.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALL YOURSELF.
You can learn to ask for what you need.
In doing so, you can create a different outcome.
It’s a bit of an art.
It’s a practice.
It’s an essential skill for change agents.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALL YOURSELF.
Learn to ask for what you need.
Learn to receive support.
Look around and appreciate the support and resources available to you.
