Tearing Down Walls
I struggle with being too inclined to isolate. Yet when I look at the successes in my life, I always find that that success wouldn't have happened without the involvement of someone else.
Someone either gave me a break, or gave me an idea that led to something I wouldn't have thought of otherwise, or contributed something to what I did that I never would have succeeded without.
Conversely, so many times when I have given of myself without any expectation of return, I have been rewarded in ways I never expected.
It's far too easy for us to build walls. Building walls, however, only cuts us off from the freedom that interdependence brings.
