Life these days has been hectic with countless activities. Amidst all this busyness, I realized how important it is to work with people rather than work alone. In my past blogs, I discussed the benefits of working with my spouse and having a team. Now, these ventures have proven to be very beneficial after many months. How?

1. There are more beautiful ideas. I believe anyone would agree that when two or more minds work together, puzzles become easier to solve, and challenges become easier to overcome. In addition, ideas that I could not possibly think of flow ceaselessly. When working together, each person not only contributes by putting their opinions, but they also spur each other’s creativity and analytical thinking.  
2. I develop more courage to take risks. Despite my many life experiences and learning, I still find more strength in making decisions after taking good advice from the people I trust and knowing that someone supports what I do or would do.
3. I have become more productive. While I previously had apprehensions about delegating tasks, I finally let go and sought the help of other people. Such a move made me realize how excellent my results can be and how the once-impossible tasks become possible to accomplish.  

Isn’t working with other people a beautiful thing? Of course, we cannot discount the possibility of disappointment or hurt, but we also should not allow negative experiences to stop us from the chance of growth and success. Instead of barring people from our lives, we should use our experiences to choose trustworthy ones and cherish them.

Do you also find it better to work with someone? If not, do you believe it would be better to do so than work alone?
