Everyone needs a little help now and then.

We all need help sometimes. And sometimes we get it from the least expected places. If you really believe, and you commit the universe will unfold and manifest everything you need in your life. Just ask that little deer guy in the video. He really believed he could get away from that big cat. He didn’t know how it was going to happen, sometimes we don’t expect help to come dressed up as a really fast fat white guy in Africa.
Ok ok ok, So, maybe it won’t come like that. And in fact, if you’re not working your absolute butt off, chances are, it won’t come at all. Help comes fastest when you do two things… 1. Work your butt off. 2. Look, ask and even pay for help. As we discusses earlier, working on your weaknesses (which we’ve been taught to do since we were knee high to a duck) will at BEST, make us mediocre in that area. Not all of us will get carried off the field as a hero for being mediocre like Rudy. I’m really glad that it worked out for him, and it’s a touching story, but don’t expect that to happen for you. The truth is, God has planted a seed of greatness inside of you, an amazing talent, a gift. I believe that we are not being good stewards of that gift if we do not go out and develop that gift, that talent to it’s fullest potential! To merely acknowledge a strength, and devote your effort to your weakness is really a tragedy.
The best way to maximize your talents, is through having a mentor, or a coach, or a consultant. When we look at people like Gates, Trump, Kiyosaki, they all have coaches, mentors, and consultants to help them maximize their strengths. Every professional athlete does as well. This is being a good steward of your gifts and talents. They were given to you for a reason, learn how to use them at their best. A quote from David Hepburn Jr. says it best. ”Amateurs practice until they get it right, Professionals practice until they can’t get it wrong.” A coach will push you that far.
So, to wrap it up, if you truly are ready to get to the next level of whatever area of your life you ready to improve, you’ve got two choices: A. Look for one of those really fast fat white guys in Africa, or B. Work your butt off, and find someone to help you.
