SELF VS. SUPPORT







Being a support system  in any form can be draining in many different ways. Support can be given in various aspects emotional, financial, spiritual etc. Although most of us try to lend support to the significant others, families, friends, coworkers, church members and organizations that depend on us most; at any given time situations where we try to be most genuine and helpful can begin to impose a mental and physical strain on even the noblest of creatures.

The love we have for those we care for the most can put us in some tough and uncomfortable positions. The lines of love, loyalty, and obligation begin to become twisted and blurred. Often relationships should be categorized and prioritized for maximum effectiveness of  time and other resources we are expending on the  people and projects in our lives. In other words deciding who and what is worthy of it all. Every time you give some one a pep talk or a word of encouragement you have given them an intangible gift and although you have not spent money an exchange has still taken place. The essence of who we are is spirit and energy. In order  for us to be optimal there must always be an invisible balance. If you are engaging in a relationship where constant withdrawals are being made on your energy and no deposits are being reciprocated this is an imbalanced union and only beneficial to one party. ( You are being used!)

True love can stand the test of time through endurance. In a balanced union each party will be able to give at maximum capacity and vice-verse without strain or stress being imposed on the other party. Far to often people are not willing to  hold there end of a partnership because they are not ready and willing to carry the weight of responsibility. Or they have a selfish mentality to take take take and never give in return. 

If we can decide to support and balance each partnership properly the exchange could be mutually beneficial for all. Where one is weak another is strong and by this principle we can elevate one anther to divine purpose.
