Being kind and helpful is a virtue. If you are kind to others, you receive unexpected blessings, but you need a break too. You need to sit back sometime and relax. Your body and mind sometimes get exhausted and need a break to replenish your energy. Can you charge your phone if there is no electricity?
It is not possible. In the same way, you need to fill your cup first before you pour it into others. The helping and ever-giving nature might exhaust you at some point because you are only pouring from your cup and not filling it first.
What will this lead to?
This will lead to you feeling completely exhausted and unable to help anyone or do anything. It is good to be selfish sometimes in life. You have to think about yourself before you help others because sometimes, you need help more than others do. Prioritizing yourself once in a while is not selfish, rude, or cruel. It means that you are giving yourself the love and care you need. Filling your cup first will not only renew your lost energy but will also help you help others effectively. We have collected the best quotes for you. Check out the Fill your cup quotes below.
