You Have Two Hands, One For Helping Yourself, The Other For Helping Others.
Hi Everyone ๐
Two Hands......
I've spent years learning this one.
You've got two hands. One for yourself. One for others.
Sounds simple. But most of us get it backwards.
Some of us are all giving.
Hand permanently extended outward.
Everyone else's needs first.
Exhausted.
Resentful.
Running on empty.
Wondering why no one shows up for us the way we show up for them.
Others are all taking.
Hand always reaching for more.
More validation.
More attention.
More stuff.
Never enough.
Never satisfied.
Neither works.
The real game is balance.
Fill your own cup first.
Not selfishly.
Necessarily.
You can't pour if your own cup is empty.
You can't help anyone if you're running on fumes.
But don't stop there.
Look around.
Someone needs what you've got.
Your time.
Your ear.
Your wisdom.
Your spare hand.
That's the sweet spot. Holding yourself and holding others. At the same time.
Not one or the other. Both.
The question isn't "which hand?" It's "am I using both?"
What's your balance looking like right now?
With Love โค๏ธ
Always
