Ask for help and guidance

You might not always get it. But most of the time, you will.


Look, you might not always get it, but I think the vast majority of the time you will.

You can't get help you don't ask for, just like you can't learn if you pretend to know something.

If you not only don't ask for help, but pretend you don't need it, you're pushing away help you could so readily and easily benefit from.

A note on sources

Much of what I've learned about Stoicism comes from Ryan Holiday. Find more of his writing at dailystoic.com and ryanholiday.net.

While I have edited much of this content, there are some cases where I have taken Ryan Holiday's words directly. I've included them because I think they are powerful and will be helpful for you. They are also helpful for me, and I've put them here so I can learn and understand more myself.
