Deciding To Soar: Living Life Your Own Way!

Don’t Fall in Love with the Water and Forget the Well | A Lesson on Gratitude, Relationships & Reciprocity

Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, I reflect on a piece of elder wisdom that has changed how I see relationships: “Don’t fall so much in love with the water that you forget to care for the well.”We often focus on what we receive—support, advice, opportunities—but we don’t always pause to honor the people who make those things possible.This conversation explores the difference between the “water” and the “well,” the hidden cost of what people give us, and how to practice gratitude in a way that truly nourishes relationships.I also share practical ways to care for the people in your life—and how to protect yourself if you are the one others depend on.If this resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode.
