I suppose we must work on being gracious and grateful until we can do for ourselves. Someday the wheel of fate will put us in a position to be of use to them, and we will remember how much easier it is to give help than it is to accept it. Patricia Briggs
About This Quote

I suppose we must work on being gracious and grateful until we can do for ourselves. Someday the wheel of fate will put us in a position to be of use to them, and we will remember how much easier it is to give help than it is to accept it. If you give too much, you force people to give more. A heart of love is one where you are happy with the smallest gestures of others.

When someone does something nice for you, you do not have to think about how to repay them, because it’s not your responsibility. You are simply happy that they were able to let you know that they saw that you needed help. You are also happy that your life is now free from their own ideas about what they think should be done for you.
