Why Your Strength Within Lies Without

Work as a team. Any millionaire that I've met work in a team. They can never become successful without a team. 

G'Day Danny,

I'm a weak, self indulgent,  Aussie curmudgeon. So I can't resist this.

Best Wishes

Danny Boy: I just got to read this and I'm glad I saved it for this day. On Mondays I think a lot of us are overwhelmed and feeling inadequate.  Leaning on 'our team,' whether that be our business or real family, is essential.  Thanks.

Really enjoyed the post as you hit a point that I think we all grapple with from time to time. 

And, I think recognition of the fact as you imply is 9/10th of the battle. Humility is akin to vulnerability and is very powerful when we choose to let it be. 

Thank you for the 'real' reminder. 

Have a smashing weekend.

Wait, back to Livefyre again?  When did this happen, last I checked you were using CommentLuv again.  Also love the image for the post too, draws your attention and conveys the strength and power we all wield within ourselves.  Good message.

Thanks Danny! I draw strength from this post because I realize that exposing my weakness allows me to recognize my opportunities and acknowledge that I am human, and always learning. I don't expect to be perfect and I don't profess to know everything -- I draw comfort in knowing that I, too am surrounded by some of the most clever minds who thrive on their own passions, as I do.

I will go to bed happy tonight:)

Thanks for the pick-me-up today ... having a day (or really a week!) and I needed to hear those words. LOVE IT: I could go on, but it all boils down to the same thing – all our strength within lies without.

And sometimes we miss that because we fear the repercussions of weakness.

Hi Danny, I love being part of the team at FBBB, we all learn so much from each other. It's a terrific experience and I thank you from the heart for sharing that experience with me.

I am blessed with truly tremendous friends, business partner and a partner that supports me.

It's easy to imagine that we can do things on our own, when we get over that we realise that we are stronger and greater for working together.

Hi Danny,

Very nice post, Sir.

Like you, I have a rock in my wife. I'm not sure why, but she never questions what I do, and also supports and encourages. She's very smart too, but pretends she's not. ;)

Wise words. It took me many years to just accept the things I'm not good at and rely on the brilliance of others, in business and in life.

Danny, it seems like you are always highlighting other people here, which is so great! In my short stint online I've learned from many, including you. You've been quite generous and your brain is always available for pickin' :)

" …our admitted weakness allows us to set up strong pillars around us that provide the strength we’re missing."

--Love that!

I've always thought that the main goal at school should not be providing us with some notions which we could probably learn in a third of the time used but to test us to discover both our strenghts and weeknesses so that we could have a solid foundation to build upon our life. Because most of the times with age we learn what our weeknesses are but never discover all our strengths.

Example: at school I was one of, if not the, most scared guy with talking in class, especially at the beginning of the year when you get to present yourself. Blocked tongue and red cheeks. And it went this way until some years ago. Comfortable with others but always scared of the public. I knew that this was a serious weakness but then one day I decided to take a public speaking course and imagine what happened? I'm pretty good at it.

If this weakness transformed in strength was to be discovered while at school I could have saved a lot of stress and performed better in life in various occasions.

Final point: we all have both weaknesses and strenghts because that's what makes us humans, sometimes what we percaive as a weakness turns itself in a strength, knowing as soon as possible both we can start building our life as we want it. Also focusing onour strengths sometimes our weaknesses improve too.

Sorry, I thought I go long-winded only at Marcus' place. :)

Hey Danny - thanks for the shout out. I am proud to be part of such an amazing team, and feel very fortunate that I am able to learn and grow within a team headed by you and @hessiejones - the sky's the limit when you're part of a great group of people that you know you can rely on, and all the pieces just click.

Great post, and looking forward to the future at Jugnoo!
