We need both.There is a lot of glamorization around independence and being the lone wolf. Being able to take care of yourself is important. Being comfortable alone is important. There is a difference between being alone and being lonely. But isolation is not strength.Deep down, most of us want connection. We want support. We want to help others and be helped in return. Yet many people expect the worst from others as a way to protect themselves. If you expect disappointment, you think you will not be hurt. But how we see people and how we see the world matters.Choosing connection and compassion is not naive. It is intentional.In this episode, I share why expecting better from people can change the way you experience life. I also talk about the inside/out approach to health, fitness, and fulfillment. When you build a solid foundation where you appreciate who you are and what you see in yourself, everything outside of you becomes a bonus instead of a requirement for happiness.In fitness, that means appreciating who and what you see in the mirror at every stage. In life, that means building real connection instead of hiding behind self sufficiency.If you have been trying to do everything alone, this is your reminder that strength and support can coexist.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.
