Straight to the point! Collaboration is needed whether it’s in your personal or professional life. Your example of The Beetles hits the nail on the head. At the end of the day everyone wants to know What In It For Me? You will be surprised what you discover thru collaboration- give it a try!

I have noticed myself, at times, occupying only one side of the giving/receiving spectrum. I like this idea of reciprocal relationships- these seem to be the most beneficial and sustainable ones. I think that even bringing awareness to where we fall on the spectrum is a practice in itself.

I really like how you suggest meeting other peoples’ limits with grace and understanding instead of judgment or irritation. We all have different circumstances and limitations that determine what we can skillfully contribute to others, and this practice honors that.

I will find a place to practice this- thank you for sharing!
