Find What Fills You
YES, everyone needs to FILL oneself. And at some point, no matter how good the food tastes, expectedly you will stop eating WHEN you've had enough of it. WHERE does this lead us to? It's for you, for us to Find What Fills You? Oh, I remember something NOT so pleasant. We all know HOW frustrating it can be WHEN people AREN'T listening to usπππ
Worst of worst, sometimes it's even harder to have your opinions and ideas taken seriously by others. And indeed, this can be difficult to deal with, especially WHEN you need to communicate often with people we regularly interact with. And this is WHERE ADVOCACY gets into the picture as it means getting the support from another person to help you express your views and/or wishesπ§π§π§
BUT hold on, before you can take the next step for an advocacy, you got to make sure that your CUP is FILLED as this poster says, 'YOU CAN'T POUR FROM AN EMPTY CUP'. And as an advocate, this entails a share of responsibilities that comes with your advocacy. THAT ability to listen to the views and concerns. THAT ability to share information for others to make an informed decision. THAT inclination to explore options and rights of a person [without pressuring them]. THAT ability to reinforce one's ACTIVE LISTENINGπ₯π₯π₯
Word of caution though. As much as you have decided on your advocate, there are parameters that will define your limits. LIKE you are NOT expected to solve problems and make decisions on behalf others. LIKE making judgments of others. If along the way you seemingly feel lost, ask yourself if you want to find yourself before your getting lost becomes more apparent and impacting. BUT WHAT you need to figure out is HOW to find yourself when pressed against the wall❎❎❎
Our takeaway: To FILL yourself, you got to have both your feet firmly on the ground. And to FILL yourself, it has to happen in a fairly reasonable manner, NOT those exceptions WHERE for the sake of personal aggrandizement, you WOULD declare that you have FILLED yourself. FILLING oneself cannot be blemished OR tainted for the sake of FILLING because acquiring one self's self-fulfillment CANNOT be attained by cutting corners. Instead, it takes a hell of personal conviction to reach that point to FILL oneself because only then, can you take the subsequent steps of pushing for your advocacies in life. IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO, dudeπππ
