A gentle story about filling yourself with what you want to share
Imagine this: You want to give your friend a glass of orange juice. You go to the pitcher, pick it up… and it’s empty! No matter how hard you try, you can’t pour anything out.
Because the pitcher is empty.
🌟 That’s how our hearts work too.
You can’t give kindness to others… if you don’t feel kindness inside yourself.
You can’t share joy… if your heart is full of sadness and storm clouds.
You can’t spread love…if your own love tank is running low.
It’s not because you’re bad. It’s because you’re empty. And before you give anything away… you have to fill yourself first.
🧃 Let’s imagine you’re a magical cup.
When your cup is full of joy, love, peace, or kindness - it overflows! It spills onto your family, your friends, your classmates, even strangers. But if your cup is empty? All that comes out is tiredness, frustration… or nothing at all.
So before you try to give love… fill yourself with love. Before you try to share calm… breathe in peace for yourself.
🌊 Life is like a big ocean
There’s a huge, sparkling ocean filled with all the good things: Love. Laughter. Peace. Creativity. Ideas. Joy. It never runs out — ever! You can go there with a big bucket, or a tiny spoon. But guess what? The ocean doesn’t decide how much you get — You do.
If you believe, “I’m only allowed a little,” you’ll only take a little. But if you believe, “I’m worthy of a lot,” you’ll be amazed at how much life gives back.
🔄 What You Send Out… Comes Back!
If you're always thinking, “Give me! Give me! I want more!” The world says, “Okay! Give me too!” And then everyone’s grabbing, and no one’s giving.
But if you say, “How can I help? Let me help you!” The world replies, “Let me help you too!”
That’s how the magic works.
💖 So Here’s a Secret:
Before you try to make the world brighter…
☀️ Fill yourself with sunshine.🕊️ Fill yourself with peace.💗 Fill yourself with kindness.🎈 Fill yourself with joy.
Then you won’t have to try so hard to give it to others — it will just flow out of you, like light from a lantern.
✨ Try This:
Sit quietly and take 3 deep breaths.
Imagine your heart is a cup.
What do you want to fill it with today?
(Love? Bravery? Calm?)
Imagine pouring that in like golden light.
Then share a little of it with someone you care about.
Because the truth is simple: You can’t pour from an empty cup. So keep filling yourself — and soon, you’ll overflow with magic.

🌟 送给每一个正在成长的你 🌟
从前,有个小朋友,他最喜欢的事情,就是分享。他想把世界上所有好东西都分给别人。可是有一天,他想送苹果给朋友,却发现——自己篮子里一个苹果都没有。他只好空着手说:“对不起,我真的很想送你苹果,但我现在一个也没有。”朋友笑笑说:“没关系啊,你下次再来,我等你。”于是这个小朋友明白了 - 想要送出什么,自己得先有啊!
🍎 不只是苹果
后来,他发现,这不只适用于苹果,也适用于心里的东西。
🌷 比如,如果你想把温暖送给别人,你心里得先有一点温暖。🌈 如果你想让别人快乐,你的心里也要先亮晶晶的。🕊️ 如果你心里只有生气和不开心,那你就很容易把这些坏情绪传给别人。
💞 把自己装满
有个大人告诉他说:“你的心就像一个杯子,要先把它装满,才能倒给别人。如果你心里有爱、有温柔、有笑容,那你就可以把这些美好送给世界。”
🌊 宇宙是一片大海
还有人告诉他:“这个世界,就像一片无边无际的大海,里面装了好多丰富多彩的事物,好玩的,有趣的。你想带桶来装?当然可以!你想开卡车来装?没问题!宇宙从来都不会说‘不够装’。”
但也有些人,只拿着一根小小的吸管,还说:“唉,我只能装到这么一点点。”其实,不是宇宙不给,而是他们自己觉得不值得拥有那么多。
🪞 想要,还是想给予?
人们总是说:“我缺这个,我要那个,给我!给我!给我!”于是宇宙也会回应他们:“我缺这个,我要那个,给我!给我!给我!”于是他们更得不到,进入一个死循环。但真正的魔法是 - 当你问:“我可以为别人做些什么?我可以帮到你什么?”这时候,宇宙也会回应你同样的:“我能为你做点什么?我可以帮到你什么?”
🌟 快乐的秘密
于是从那一天起,小朋友开始练习:
🍀 他每天对别人说温柔的话💖 他把多余的糖果分给朋友🌼 他帮爷爷奶奶提东西🎨 他画画送给生病的小孩
你猜怎么了?他发现,自己变得比以前更快乐了!爱与温柔像雪球一样越滚越大,回到了他的心里。
最后的魔法问题 ✨
现在,轮到你啦!
👀 你心里装满了什么?🎁 你今天可以送出一份爱吗?🌈 你愿意分享一点点温暖吗?
记住,你能送出去的,正是你真正拥有的。而当你越愿意分享美好,宇宙也会把更多美好送回来给你。
所以,让我们每天都把自己装满爱、装满温柔、装满阳光,再轻轻地,送出去 💌✨
