It applies even in the little moments. For example, I'm carrying a ton of things and someone offers to help. My instinct says, 'No, I can get it.' And of course I CAN. But why? Is there something to prove here? No. So I accept, graciously, and then I share my gratitude. And voila, we are more connected, this stranger and I - if only for that moment. And for me, connection is one of my top values. Beautiful! I relate to this most strongly in terms of asking for and allowing others to help. It applies even in the little moments.
