“Very rarely do we stop enough to say "what do I have the opportunity to give?" And, more importantly, what do I get to become as a result of that giving?”
There is a famous Greek TV series where the mother had sent his daughter to another city to study. She asked whether she should come back home to celebrate Christmas together, and the daughter said sadly no because she would go with her friends for skiing. On Christmas Eve she eventually showed up to her family house to celebrate during holidays.
Someone asked the mother what happened to your daughter and she eventually came home? She replied: "As a mother you always give, give to your child. And the children usually only get things. So, I don't need to know why some day she decided to give me something as well. Getting something from my daughter whatever the reason, means a lot" 🥹
