Thought of the Day: When you thrive, you can help others. If you are struggling, you have nothing to give. We are sometimes told that we are selfish when we give to ourselves first but that is illogical. If we have nothing, we have nothing to give. If you lack sleep, you have no energy to give. (Parents know this very well!) When you lack time, you have no time to give. When you lack food, you have no food to give. When you don’t love yourself, you have no love to offer. Everyone loses and resentment begins when others demand of you and you have nothing to give. When you are depleted, you are not in a place to give.
Therefore, logically, when you thrive, you have enough to give. When you are full, when you are rested, when you are happier, when you are balanced, you have an abundance to give. Everyone wins. Uplift others by helping yourself first. When you have abundance, you can hold out a full hand to others, when you lack, you can only hold out an empty hand. Hold out a full hand. Thrive and be happy my friends!
Namaste
Quote of the Day:
“Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it’s at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand. The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.” – Audrey Hepburn, British actress and humanitarian
