We love the myth of the “self-made hero.”

The genius who “built it all by themselves.”

The lone wolf who conquered the odds.

But here’s the truth no one wants to admit:

💡 You are where you are because someone else showed up.

The mentor who opened doors you didn’t know existed.

The Boss who helped you get your confidence back.

The spouse who supported your wild idea to quit.

The person you collaborated with who sparked a chain reaction.
