Alone

For anyone to get through this world as successful on a personal, professional or even social level, the work of an entire community is inevitable. For it is not wealth, but people that help you get through the darkest of days and difficult situations. Nobody can make it in the world alone.

In times like today when the world is so polarized, it’s absolutely important to remind ourselves and the world of the age old quote of “United We Stand, Divided We Fall”.

In times like today when an entire generation of people is feeling the brunt of being alone or lonely, it’s important to remind the world that no one is alone and that help is just around. So reach out. Reach out when you feel everything around is breaking down, and there will be that someone who will help you hold that fort together.

Enjoy this piece by one of my favorite poets: Maya Angelou!

“Lying, thinkingLast nightHow to find my soul a homeWhere water is not thirstyAnd bread loaf is not stoneI came up with one thingAnd I don't believe I'm wrongThat nobody,But nobodyCan make it out here alone.Alone, all aloneNobody, but nobodyCan make it out here alone.There are some millionairesWith money they can't useTheir wives run round like bansheesTheir children sing the bluesThey've got expensive doctorsTo cure their hearts of stone.But nobodyNo, nobodyCan make it out here alone.Alone, all aloneNobody, but nobodyCan make it out here alone.Now if you listen closelyI'll tell you what I knowStorm clouds are gatheringThe wind is gonna blowThe race of man is sufferingAnd I can hear the moan,'Cause nobody,But nobodyCan make it out here alone.Alone, all aloneNobody, but nobodyCan make it out here alone.”

Never feel the need to stay alone! Whenever you feel stuck professionally or personally, reach out and I’m very sure help will be made available.
