Dear Leader #0001
Dear Leader,
Relationships are like bank accounts. Know when you're depositing and when you're withdrawing.
The same principles that constitute good financial stewardship also apply to relationships. Don’t spend what you don’t have. Your deposits into the relationship should exponentially outweigh your withdrawals, so when you do have to spend, it doesn’t completely deplete the reserve.
When we do someone a favor, listen when they need to talk, show up on time, affirm them, or do what we say we're going to do, we're making deposits into those accounts. On the other hand, anytime we call in a favor, assert an opposing view, offer critical feedback, or fail to do what we promised, we're withdrawing from the account.
