The Overcoming Odds Podcast

We sometimes struggle to ask others for help, possibly because we feel insecure or fear judgment, but asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Making requests and clarifying what you really want can help you progress and learn to value and believe in yourself.

In this episode, Paul Newell describes subjects such as how to deal with rejection, express what you really want, and embrace yourself - all related to the big picture of being able to “ask.” The importance of asking can be overlooked, and Newell finds ways to show others how to appreciate asking questions to both themselves and others.

There are many ways to go about our lives, and we may have different opinions on to what extent we have control over it and what we can do about it. Ultimately, though, it is up to us to mold how we view certain experiences and mindsets.

He also believes that the only control we have over our lives is the freedom of choice, and the reactions we choose determine how we continue on.
