How to navigate the balance between working hard and knowing when to ask for help
The reality is that bosses, colleagues, friends and romantic partners will, oftentimes, take advantage of commendable, dogged persistence. And with passing time, blind persistence can lead to a weakening of the spirit and a lack of feeling your worth.
Many women in particular work hard at their jobs and hope that others will see and value this with an eventual promotion. Many women support their family or friends hoping that they will receive the same emotional support in return. Many women hope their romantic partners will eventually realize that they are taking on the lion’s share of household responsibility and need help.rarely deliver and women end up continuing to work and strive without the payout they deserve.
Stop assuming that others are going to magically intuit your distress, needs, and preferences. Hoping your partner is going to notice that you need help with the laundry after working a 12-hour day or that you are exhausted and need to be taken care of is make-believe. Be true to who you are. Maybe some won’t like you this way, but it’s worth losing a few relationships to gain authentic connection and to experience your value.Working hard and sticking to a task will help you reach your goals—some of the time. But if you are working and working and not being appropriately rewarded, consider if you need to call in the supports. If you work hard at your job and you have not been promoted to the level you believe you deserve, consider some executive.
