Support...
Support is a two way street. There is no way you should ever be on a just the receiving or giving end of support...it requires a give and take from both parties.
I know there are situations when you are giving support and it might feel like it’s one sided...and it might be for a time...but eventually the tables will turn and you will need support from someone. You need to be very aware of who gives and who just takes...and remember that the givers don’t always ask when they need support or help...so you have to watch for it.
Over time you can tell who you want to keep in your life and the ones you need to let go. The ones you keep are the ones that can ride that 2 way street with you...and want to ride it with you! You don’t want to keep it those fair weather friends...you know the ones...the ones that only come around when they need something but never are around when you need something.
I’m a giver by nature...and someone that finds it extremely difficult to ask for help when needed. Master has a very unique ability to know when I need him and when I just need his unspoken support. He has never given me a hint of hesitation of supporting me. He usually sees my need before I even realize I need it. This has been hard for me to accept but has been much appreciated over the last year. Becoming a true partner has been such a blessing for me.
I on the other hand have had to learn how to be the best support for him. He is extremely strong and as a giver you tend to want to fix things...I have learned that the best kind of support for my Master is to just be there to listen, have conversations and be there to hold his hand through it all. I don’t need to fix it...I just need to be by his side.
By his side...his ride or die...his forever and always...and he does the same for me. That’s my kind of support...
Until tomorrow....
