No matter our culture, race, and perception on life being supportive is apart of every one's life. How we support is what I want to discuss.
I'm one of those supportive people that will do my best to show up to your function; if I can't show up I'll promote it and tell someone; if it's a business idea you might have to sit me down because I'm willing to help where/when needed and with what I know how to do.
There is no fee for support just like love. But in my own life I've seen a lack of support and it can be damaging. Yes sure I'm strong and can do many things alone (so can you) without acknowledgement, love, support, and a care in the world by anyone BUT should I have too? Should you have to?
Many of us grow to know the word "support" by the time we leave high school. Your experience with that word sets the tone of how you receive your support and how you give it.
Right now I challenge you to be FULLY SUPPORTIVE in the ways you know how and even step up to do things outside of your norm. Sometimes you just show support to a person you don't know. Moreover, be supportive to those that need it most and feel they don't have it. These are the closest people to you that you say you love and care about. Show that care, that love by truly supporting each person in your circle.
Sometimes it's just listening and encouraging that person. It's not always about giving money but give with good intensions. The big brands you know gain heavy support (financial & counsel) to be the big companies you know. Of course, time is much more valuable. Your words of wisdom turns into a million dollars!!!
Support how you would like to be supported for your business, getting your degree, having kids, going to the hospital, losing a friend, and all the many things any one person goes through in the year. Support your own.
- Peace & Love
