We need each other.

No amount of money, influence, resources, or determination.

Will change our physical, emotional, and spiritual dependence on others.

• Not at the beginning of our lives.
• Not in the messy middle.
• Not at the end.

Generosity and giving are not the opposite of receiving.

• To judge yourself for needing help. You judge those you are helping.
• To attach value to giving help. You attach value to needing help.
• The danger of tying your self-worth to being a helper. Is feeling shame when you have to ask.

Offering help is courageous and compassionate.

But so is asking for help.
