Giving and Receiving
Receiving graciously is as important as giving generously.
It’s easy to think our lives have been small, like we've paid forward very little of significance. This feeling reminds me of a short video called Cosmic Eye that captures how small each of us appears within the limitless universe. Sometimes I think of this video when I’m outside looking at the surrounding grandeur, feeling how extra tiny I am in it.
We're quick to forget, or maybe we never noticed, the significant impacts our offers of goodness have on the people and places around us. And sometimes, when people give to us, it feels downright selfish to accept those offers.
