1157 | Les Brown: “Ask for Help.”

SEAN CROXTON
About this episode

In this episode, Les Brown empowers us with a pearl of his wisdom on how to endure, get through, and overcome the most challenging periods of our lives. 


According to Les, people collapse during tough times because they decide based on their emotions and let fear take control of their minds. For this reason, he highlights the rational thinking of a human being. Instead of being driven by fear, you must think your way through and actively work on a solution. 


Les further underscores that it’s okay to ask for help and reminds us that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength, persistence, and determination to keep moving forward. And he reminds us that “Tough times never last, but tough people do.”
