Giving, to me, always comes before receiving. When I offer a little more than what I get back, I notice how it lifts the other person’s mood and makes them feel comfortable to return to me again. That small extra effort becomes a bridge that deepens the connection.
What I give doesn’t have to be material. It can be a bit of service, a few comforting words, some guidance, or a piece of knowledge. If the person on the other end finds it genuinely useful, then the exchange feels right and meaningful for both of us.
