Forgetting Step One

Someone once told me that you can't pour from an empty glass. By which he meant that you must first take care of yourself before you can someone else. If you aren't full of self love, you will have no love to give. If you continue to pour out more and more of yourself, you will eventually run dry. This is something I have ridden roller coasters with. Each time I refill, I run myself dry over and over. I never stop to refill before empty. This leaves us exhausted and strips us of motivation. You've got to realize that the more your mental and emotional health decline, as will your physical health. It is always good to help someone else, but be sure you can. Don't forget about yourself. Take time everyday to refill so that tomorrow you're ready for anything.
