“I’ve discussed full details about this idea can be found in my book. However, let me just shed ⠀
some light on these words by highlighting an analogy. Let’s say you’re feeling okay, but not great. ⠀
Your glass is at 100ml, and you pour water equally to four other glasses. The glasses you pour ⠀
into are at 10ml and they are sad. After you’ve poured water into them, they’re at 35ml each. They ⠀
are now feeling just over a quarter of what you felt to start with, while you feel the way they ⠀
started; miserable. Now that you’re empty, you find other glasses to get water from; some of ⠀
which aren’t very full.⠀
.⠀
If you had felt amazing and started at a higher amount, you’d not only be able to give more, you ⠀
could still have a lot left. You wouldn’t have to run on an empty cup, and you certainly wouln’t ⠀
have to feel bad, and take from others.⠀
.⠀
I’m a big believer in kindness and giving. However, I realize that we can only share what we have. ⠀
Too many times, we’re told to love people while we lose ourselves in the process. We’re told to ⠀
ignore how we feel, to make others feel better because it’s the right thing to do. But, we end up ⠀
worse off than we started, and eventually, our misery encourages us to make others feel ⠀
miserable.⠀
.⠀
Before you try and pour yourself into other people’s wellbeing, make sure you’re not running ⠀
empty. Think of it like this too: a broken person is more likely to cut others, not heal them. You ⠀
cannot be everyone’s saviour, especially when you need to invest in your own healing and raise ⠀
your vibration.⠀
.⠀
It’s hard to be there for others when you haven’t been there for yourself. It can be extremely ⠀
harmful when you force yourself to give that which you don’t have. Self-love, which includes self-⠀
care habits, is a must. Look out for number one, so you can genuinely help the people around ⠀
you.” –
