chew on it - what can you offer?


Think about what you can offer to others before opening your mouth to make demands out of people or things.

Is it money? Advice? Companionship? Sex? Or something else?

When you start thinking that way, you realize your own limitations, and that will gradually lead you to stop making unreasonable demands out of others. Either that, or you strive to overcome the limitations before making the demands a second time.

You do not demand when you have nothing to offer.
