Are you withdrawing more from your relationships than what you’ve previously deposited? My friend brought me a watermelon sherbert ice cream cone to add “a little sweet from the stress.” This may seem like a little thing but little things can be important, care affirmative things to me. Only through our friendship; investing time by talking, getting to know each and exploring how each thinks and feels, can there be growth of understanding and, more care. Willingness is a huge part of this. I’m in a odd space of transition right now where I’m Glowing Up, Moving Forward and as it happens, leaving some things behind. As a loyal person, that can be hard, leaving situations, people that have become familiar but the relations are shifting. In some cases, the Letting Go means leaving. In other cases, the Letting Go means grabbing onto something else. This came be deepening previous relations or initiating new ones. From a new reality, new interactions and situations this always means an investment of some sort. And this isn’t always easy. What I’ve been learning and applying is acknowledge where I am. I’m in a vortex of learning so Silence is more of the active investment while I grow in the knowledge and absorb. I can share out this information at a later time, making deposits into others as others have done for me. Where it becomes selfish is when it’s completely self-serving to the point of parasitic ‘only about me’ mindsets which eventually brings bankruptcy to our humanity. For your consideration, be willing to invest in others as well as yourself. And also, be a generous receiver, allowing for people to serve you. Balance is key. Investments of all kinds are necessary to our growth and success trajectory. Are you making healthy deposits or Wounded withdrawals? Live Well. Do Well. Be Well 💜
