Yes, you read the quote right…some people will give you an empty cup and expect you to smile and drink up! They will be happy to feed you nothing but expect you to be grateful about the illusion their so-called presence is having in your life. At best they are adding nothing, at worst they are taking or draining you’re energy, your time, your money, your happiness, your shine, your glory, your self-worth.
Meanwhile, you’re plodding along, continuing to drink from their draining cup of ‘nothingness’ becoming thirstier and thirstier, needier & needier, craving, hoping but still receiving nothing. Why? Because of the excuses you keep making for their behaviour, their perceived presence in your life, what the relationship signifies. Who they are, their role or because of guilt, fear. Fear of what… being alone, rejected, abandoned, judged, not good enough, one or all of the above!
We don’t know the future, but what we can hope for or try to visualise, is a more happier, stress-free, peaceful, future, present, a joyful, free, fearless you. You don’t have to accept other people’s limitations, their BS, their disregard, selfishness outpouring. You deserve the best that life can offer, its time to fulljoy and experience your best life! Put down the empty cup, the one you are holding, the person you are carrying for no reason.
Take a chance. Who knows by letting go, it may eventually help you move towards bigger, better things to come. Surround yourself with people ready to pour into your cup, their goodness, filling you up. It starts with you. Stop drinking from the empty cup, (or the glass).
Remember if you accept less than..then less, is what you’ll always get!
