It’s truly humbling when we receive help from others, even when they don’t have more to give but offer what they can with a generous spirit. The importance of appreciating their support is powerful. People who extend a hand often move resources from one point to another, shifting their energy into yours. I remember a time at a client’s office building. It was a sunny Sunday, and I arrived early, waiting for the client. While there, I noticed a guard who seemed to be in distress. He looked uneasy, counting his fingers, shaking his head, scratching his head, and bowing down, signs of personal turmoil. I observed for a while and then approached him, building rapport before asking how he was doing. He shared his struggles, financial difficulties, the loss of his brother who had been a big support. He even had to leave school to work as a guard.
