How far will a car go if its tank is empty?
Not far, right?
And what about you? How far will you go in supporting your family, being productive in your job, or in contributing your gifts to the world, if your tank is empty?
Not very far at all.
So many of us believe that to take time out or to put our own self-care above the care of others is selfish but, the exact opposite is true.
When you are operating from a state of depletion, you are, in fact, withholding the best of yourself from others. It’s only when you are at your best that you can give your best to others.
Perhaps it’s time to stop running on empty.
Now go and do whatever it is that you need to do in order to fill up your own tank.
