"Your job is to fill your own
cup so it overflows. Then, you
can serve others joyfully, from
your saucer." ~Lisa Nichols
Right or wrong, I grew up in
an era of others first. From the
time I was a small child, this
was drummed into me by my
parents. I find I rather like this.
Not sure when things changed
to me first. And yes, I do get it.
When you're flying, you're told
to put on your mask first to be
able to help others.
I know there are hundreds of
examples from both camps.
Still, I like the way I learned
as a kid. Doesn't mean I can't
appreciate the other way of
doing things. I can even see
the practicality of me first.
Rather makes me wonder,
Libra that I am, if there isn't
a way to do both?! Suss out
the situation, as it were. If
you need to put on your mask
first in order to help others,
go for it. But if you can, put
others first.
Promise, cross my heart . . .
'tis a lovely way of doing
things!
You first . . .
