Serve from Here
Jan 24, 2025
✈️ You’re on an airplane.
😨 The oxygen masks drop.
💭 Oh damn.
❓ What’s the one thing they always tell you to do?
😷 Put your own mask on before you help small children and others put their mask on.
🤔 The rationale? If you pass out, nobody’s getting their mask on.
💡 You’ve got to take care of yourself before you can take care of others.
💤 Because you can’t really help anybody if you’re unconscious.
🌟 I learned this from my coach Carolyn Freyer-Jones, and I bet she learned it from somebody else:
☕ Self-care and service is like a saucer and a cup.
💧 We always want to take such good care of ourselves that our cup is overflowing.
🌊 When it does, it overflows into the saucer.
🚫 We NEVER serve from the cup; we always serve from the saucer.
🫗 Because if the cup runs dry, then nobody is served.
🌸 Hope you take some time to make sure your cup is full and overflowing today.
💞 You know what would help fill my cup? Being connected with you.
👉 If we’re not already connected, let’s get that handled -> Eric Woodard
🚀 Let's get your career stuff handled, find time to talk here. 📲
