When I was younger we had several sets of clothes. There would be the clothes we'd wear to church, or for visiting relatives, another set for school and then a third set for playing around. It was a prudent thing to do if you had more kids than money to constantly buy new clothes for. You had to hold the best back so you wouldn't go broke.
I've noticed that people hold back the best of themselves too, as if their kindness, compassion and joy needs to be rationed because there's a finite amount. The reality is that unlike clothes for kids, the more you use the best the more there is to use. When you give your kindness, compassion and joy to others, it comes back to you in heaps.
Now more than ever don't hold back, the world needs our best.
