Full

Life is better when you’re full. Full of joy. Full of peace. Full of happiness. Your car rides better on a full tank. Your refrigerator looks better when its full.Babies sleep better on a full stomach. There is something about functioning at capacity. So, why do we try to operate out of an empty glass? Why do we ride on fumes? Why do we give more than we can afford? Mostly, because we’ve been conditioned by lack. We get used to not enough. We get used to disappointment. Change your mindset. You lack nothing. Ask. Seek. Receive. You are complete. You have more than enough. You operate out of your overflow. You are full.

Capacity

When is enough, enough? When are you officially done? When do you decide you can’t take it anymore? Is it when you’ve run out of energy? Is it when you snap? Is it when your body responds? How do you know you are at capacity?

Most of us think that because we are capable, we have capacity. We have to reprogram ourselves. What does your “yes” cost you? Does it take away from your personal time? Does it take away from your family obligations? Is a “yes” necessary at this very moment? Can it wait? Can you delegate?

I am just beginning to realize that I don’t have to do everything. I’m learning that things will eventually get done, just not on my timeline. Those dishes can wait. The laundry will never be completely done. Your to do list never ends, and guess what? It’s ok. You are only one person and you can’t run on empty.
