“I will give of myself to you. And soon – hopefully, my darling – you will then be able to give of yourself to me too.” — Penna

Every relationship should be about balance – (give and take). Whether it’s a parent-child, student-teacher, husband-wife, best friends or even colleagues, there should always be an equal amount of sharing done by both parties. In order to receive love we must be in a constant state of giving love.

We need to focus and always be on the lookout of the question, “Am I giving or am I taking today?” It is very important that we don’t always take. But, what happens when you are the only one giving and the other person only takes? Or, vice versa?

Well, it can be very energetically draining and depressing. The results of that could easily affect your self-esteem in a not-so-good way. You will notice that your days are more consumed with thoughts about the negative parts of the relationship instead of getting things done that you want to do in the mix of the day.

Today, throw your track shoes in the closet and stop running after your thoughts. Get your act together. Instead of worrying about how your other half is not giving of them self, find ways to give more of yourself. When you do that, he will come around.
