To succeed in life, you need wise and competent people around you, informed people with a proven track record who can assist you. But be advised: the best people with the most knowledge will challenge, stretch, and confront your previously held viewpoints. That doesn\u2019t mean you should avoid them. On the contrary\u2014that\u2019s exactly why you need them! You must get over your fear of people who are smarter, more talented, and more experienced than you are, and learn from them instead. What stops many of us from approaching competent people is that we feel ignorant when we\u2019re around them. It\u2019s ok to be ignorant\u2014but it\u2019s not ok to stay that way! Don\u2019t keep running back to familiar, mediocre interactions with people who don\u2019t challenge you to grow. <\/p>\n
The more you move into new arenas in life, the more you need \u2018the multitude of counsellors\u2019<\/i> who will push you to be more than you are, even if it\u2019s uncomfortable at first. Go where they are, listen to what they say, and evaluate their opinions. If you\u2019re going to build yourself up spiritually, emotionally, and financially, you must go outside your comfort zone. If you don\u2019t, you won\u2019t have the information you need to move beyond the familiar and attain your future goals. Only those who are willing to be stretched achieve their dreams. And remember, the people you need most are usually busy people. Generally speaking, they won\u2019t reach for you, so you must reach for them. And be prepared; some of them may turn you down, while others, recognising your hunger for wisdom and knowledge, will respond and help you to succeed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
