(please know, this is not in reference to your job, contracted assignments, etc.)
We all have helped others in one way or another and when the person we helped has success in whatever the help pertained to, we wonder why the person we helped does not give us credit in some way--publicly, amongst family, friends, whatever...
The help we give is usually only one drop of sand in the progress of that other person, even though we believe it to be more.
The other person has paid attention to our help, as well as to their own soul... what they do with the help we offer has nothing to do with us... It has only to do with the other person's soul, and how they choose to use the information, $, assistance, information, whatever.
In turn, that is how an offer to assist should be given... only to assist that other person in reaching their goal.
Giving or doing (for someone), with the express motivation being that of an expectation for admiration, praise, gratitude, and/or reciprocation in return -- most times results in disappointment for the one giving...
When giving comes from the soul without question... The credit received will be peace within the soul...
Having said that... when there is anything that you have created, know from experience, etc., that is your own; and others, by crossing (what should be) your boundaries, leech off this... it is up to you to protect it... if you have not set boundaries... DO! For yourself and the others...
It is so easy to be drawn into a conversation and before you know it, you have shared your most creative thoughts... given them away free for the other person to do with whatever they decide to do with them...
This will drain your soul dry... if you allow it....
