Do Better Daily: Ask for Advice

Welcome back to Do Better. Every day I draw a card from my deck of Do Better and follow where it leads. Today’s card? Ask for Advice.

Instead of lone-wolfing it, what if you just asked someone, “What do you think?” You might save yourself some pain. You might learn something new. More importantly—you might give that person the gift of knowing their perspective matters.

That’s the challenge today: find someone, ask for advice, and Do Better.

 Welcome back to Do Better. My name's Anthony and every single day I draw a card from my deck of Do Better and I do what it says. I'm just trying to make the world a little bit less shitty, starting with myself. Today's deck of Do Better Card is ask for advice. Here's the thing. Most of us would rather Google it.

Guess ask chat, GBT, or just screw up than actually ask somebody for help. Pride keeps us quiet, but asking for advice isn't weakness. It's connection. It's saying, I value your perspective. I trust you enough to let you in and help me. That builds bridges. So today, don't try to lone wolf it. Text someone, call someone, walk up and ask.

Hey. What do you think about this? You might learn something. You might save yourself some pain and you might give that person the gift of knowing that they matter to you. And isn't that what we're here for? To let other people know that we're cut that last part, that's the card. That's the challenge today.

Go do better and ask somebody what you can do better. That's that. That's the card, that's the challenge. Go do better. Find somebody, ask them for advice today. Do better. I love you.
