Today, I was thinking of you guys during my quiet time in the morning. As givers, we obviously love to give. To give our time, our ideas, and our hearts to those things we find most valuable. When we give, a little bit is taken out of the cup that makes us who we are. When all we do is give and give and give, there comes a point when we have given so much of ourselves, that there is nothing left to give. So we must fill ourselves up. We must surround ourselves with things, ideas, and people that energize us, so that we can give our very best.
I encourage you, today, to do something that fills you up. Whether it is to go out for ice cream, read a book, have some quiet time, or have a party, fill yourself up. Don't forget that you are important and that you need to fill yourself up so that you can make the most impact you possibly can.
P.S. I am super proud of all of you for being willing to make a change in the world. Thank You!!!
Woah we talked about this today in my class!! It was a very interesting topic to talk about. We discussed joy specifically. we can forget (or at least i can) that we need to fill ourselves up again. I get caught up so much in them that I forget about myself sometimes... and not the good kind of forget.
ReplyDeleteonce it left me so hopeless that I couldn't get fed in some joy. but i won't let that happen again! thank you for the reminder! I know I can overlook the importance of it sometimes!
