Is your cup too full?
I have heard it said that it is hard to fill a cup which is already full. I can certainly agree with this coming from a training profession. People will often ask for input into their lives only to reveal that the key aspects which they are seeking perspective on have already been internally decided on and now they are simply wanting affirmation of said decision.
Or, a client will seek a perspective on an issue and even before a response is given, they have already come up with an excuse why your response is not valid or fully useful.
So, what do you want?? If you are seeking perspective or even advice then you must realize there is a gap which needs to be covered. Otherwise please keep doing what it is you are doing and see for yourself if your results are as good as you want them to be. Us care-givers in the meantime will be busy attending to others who will fully receive our support!
On the flip-side, is your cup empty?
I have had the pleasure of talking with many who "love to help people". My first desire is to help grow this within them. The inner need to help others is crucial for any healthy community. Unfortunately life can leave us with less on the inside to actually give if we have not taken the time to heal, fix, forgive, or push through whatever it is we need to look after.
There are some who have achieved this sense of wholeness which by the way is never a full deletion of the effects of a bad experience, it has simply been understood to the point of new usefulness for the sake of others.
Then there are those who have not yet reached this place of satisfaction over their inner need who will try to give from an empty cup so to speak.
With Everyday we believe there is a point when people can be brought to a place of powerful influence if they are willing to receive. To the level for which you are willing to receive, it is the level for which you will receive!!
Success is Together!
