Day 37: נוֹשֵׂא בְעֹל עִם חֲבֵרוֹ / Sharing another's burdens
In the sports world, a common saying is that the team is only as strong as its weakest player. This aphorism aims to humble the elite players, and instill teamwork and lifting up of others as core features of not only the team dynamic, but of the path towards success.
How does this adage translate into our project? We have established that our relationships and interactions shape our personal development journey, thereby establishing self-growth as an inherently social and interactive endeavor.
Today we push that idea further, asserting that our journey of growth is not only about raising ourselves higher and higher, but actually about building partnership and community that holds mutual accountability and support as its highest value.
Reflection:
What types of burdens do you think today's value is trying to sensitize us to?
Are we allowed to sever relationships that we feel weigh us down?
Lived practice:
We are living in a time when the burdens and struggles of others are particularly acute and exposed. How are you showing up for others? Think of what you have to give and how you can give it.
