No one owes you anything.

No one owes us anything. Or, if they do, it’s in our interest to act as if they don’t.
~ Seth Godin, The Practice

When we choose to show up generously in the world, we are not playing a reciprocity game, a quid pro quo game.

We are in the gift giving business and we don't worry too much about getting a gift in return.

We do it because we can, and because we want to. Not because we want it to give us something back.
