Life is about the journey and making it to the finish line, but there are things we need to do on that journey.  If we run a marathon, we don’t just run.  We still need to eat well days before, stretch prior, & hydrate during.  However, we’re doing too much of nothing by doing a lot of busy work that have no real value to push us in the direction of our paths.  I use “operating optimally” a lot in my episodes.  It means that we are not vibrating at our highest energetically, mentally balanced, and physically free of internal restraints that stem from vibrating at a low plateau.  We need to raise that benchmark and never plateau.  There’s always room for spiritual improvement.

When on a team, the only time you should think as an individual is when you are building yourself to be the best version of you that you can be to build your team to its best form.  It is still a collective effort for each individual to grow as a master of their craft.  Using football as an example, every lineman has their job of maximum skill improvement so that the quarterback can function in his/her position.  And, that quarterback has to be their best at connecting and building synergy with each team member to advance the ball to the goal and each other on the team.  If anyone lacks communication, athleticism, mental strength, etc., the entire team can fail. This is where individual acuity of their unique position is as important as being a part of that team. It is symbiotic and creates a realm of individual collectiveness.  Overall, this is the very definition of team from the individual standpoint, and a team is only as great as the individual members of that group.  Utilize your team so that you can be the best you can be in the group you belong to, and so that group can be a bomb ass team for humanity.

It isn't selfish to use a teammate as a resource to build yourself up.  As stated, it may be their job to be that person for you.  I speak often about reciprocity, and this is one of those moments.  On the receiving side of allowing them to play their position, that person can help you grow into the best you that is needed to impact the world.  On the giving side, you are blessing that person with the needed opportunity for them to grow into the best version of themselves by helping you. The most beautiful example of reciprocity and teamship where everyone wins.  It isn’t a one-way situation where you are simply taking and not giving anything in return.  Not using the gifts of support people is a selfish act and works against you when you may have a conditioned mind of thinking that it is, in fact, a selfish act to use them for their actual purpose.  You deprive yourself, the resource, and your team of all its due glory in growth by thinking you’re doing a good thing of giving back what the Universe is gifting you.  That is a backwards thought pattern that needs to be trashed for an altruistic, collective thought pattern.  You’re doing no one any favors and more harm than any good by being unwittingly but subconsciously selfish.  You give by receiving, and vice versa.  Learn and practice reciprocity.  It creates balance in the energetic ether.  And, most certainly, don’t forget to give of yourself in being a resource to someone else so they will grow to be a resou
