Do you have anyone pouring life and light into you?  I’m talking about someone who gives you needed direction.  If you do, you’re a fortunate person.  You probably see things in work and life from a perspective of growth.  You would also be rare…rare because most are going it alone.  Most are relying on their skills and not their character.  I’ve written before about what happens with this type of lopsided development.  Namely, damage to organizations, families and life in general.  <\/p>\n

When we have people willing to travel through life helping us we’re better able to see the need to change, which means learning.  Don’t be fooled, learning is not just for those in school.  Be a life-long learner…<\/p>\n

The following are a few benefits of not going it alone:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The trap of success without character, can be avoided.<\/li>\n
  2. When (not if) the storms come you’ll have someone to help you make sense of the things that often don’t make sense.<\/li>\n
  3. Your more likely to leave the graveyard poor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
