Give More, Take Less

In the final analysis, relationships grow because we give more and take less. This, of course, goes against human nature, which wants to take more and give less. This path leads to isolation and suffering, whereby the path of giving leads to connection and generosity of spirit and soul. You may question this advice—I challenge you to try it. Give in, give up, give out and see what impact this has on your mate and others in your world.
