You can’t give what you don’t have. Conversely, you can’t get what you don’t give. It might be a cute little phrase but it’s true. We expect compassion, love and respect from others but have none for ourselves.
How do we know we don’t have any for ourselves? When our default response is angry and defensive, anxious and fearful. When we feel as though there’s not enough for us, when we believe everyone is trying to take something from us, when most of the time we feel empty.
How can we possibly offer anything to anyone if we come from a place of emptiness?
