You’re trying to conserve your phone battery. You’re at a gas station filling up. You know you’re close to your destination. So you ask the clerk for directions.
There’s no guilt or embarrassment. There’s no second or third guessing it. You know it will result in nothing (not setting you back at all) or it will result in something (getting you to where you want to go).
The same could be said for the project your working on, the mission you’re working for, the legacy you’re working toward. You can find people who might be able to help you, tell them where you want to go and hear them out on how to get there.
But instead, we often worry what they will think. We’ll feel embarrassed for not being able to get there ourselves. We think it’ll set us back or down the wrong road.
These are lies we tell ourselves, of course. It’s a form of hiding and we ought to work to ignore the little voice inside our head.
It’s okay to ask for directions whether you’re behind the wheel of an actual vehicle or behind the wheel of your life.
You might not always get to the destination more quickly, but you will no doubt have a more enjoyable journey.
