You can accept this or not. You are a giver or you are a taker. Where do you stand? Think about your friends, family and others you may know. Can you see vividly how they fall into one category or another?
Briefly, I think there is good and not so good about each category. If you are a giver this is who you are and what you do. You give your time, your money, your energy, your love and devotion freely. If you are a taker you accept others time, money, energy and love and devotion freely. If you do not appreciate what I am saying think about how you love, how you give and take. Givers find it hard to receive and takers find it difficult to give or they give in a measured way.
Is there a gray area, can we be balanced? I am a giver and I work on taking as well, it requires constant awareness on my part because it is not who I am.
It is of great benefit to us if we can be well-adjusted. It is something to work toward.
Honor yourself!
