Greetings steemit explorers,
Back in 2006 I began studying with a consciousness that would tell us they were communicating with humanity at this time in order to help move our collective consciousness from one of fear to that of free will and free choice. It was an interesting journey I went on that lasted for about 6 years. During that time I completely changed my life around and one of teachings that has stuck with me to this day was that of putting oneself first. Something that was counter to how I was living my married life at the time.
The example they gave was the following:
See yourself as a cup and that which fills the cup is love.
If your cup is only half full, then the most you can give to another is half a cup.
If your cup is full, then the most you can give to another is a full cup.
But if your cup so full of love that it overflows, then you can give to others from the overflow, whilst maintaining your own full cup.
Do you fill your cup first, or do you continually give to others whilst neglecting yourself?
Cheers.
