Identifying What Drains You vs. What Fills You with Purpose
The Lemon Drop: Stop Pouring into a Leaky Cup
Have you ever felt like no matter how much effort you put in, you’re never satisfied?
Explore the importance of recognizing where your energy is being drained versus where it brings you purpose and true happiness. We discuss how to stop pouring into a leaky cup and start investing in what truly fulfills you.
The Slice: Finding Purpose in What Truly Fills You
If you’ve read my book, Always Squeezing Lemons, you know I love a good metaphor and this newsletter gives you that! Imagine pouring all your energy into a cup with a hole in the bottom—it doesn’t matter how much you pour, it will always drain away. Today, let’s talk about the importance of finding a cup without holes, where your efforts can be collected and appreciated. It’s about identifying what truly brings you joy and purpose, and then investing in that.
The Squeeze: Stop the Drain, Start the Fill
It’s time to recognize the areas of your life where your energy is being wasted. Instead of constantly trying to fill something that drains you, focus on finding something that holds your efforts and allows them to grow. It might start small, but with the right focus, you can build something fulfilling and lasting.
Practical Pointers: Strategies for Refocusing Your Energy
Identify the Drains: Take a look at your life and recognize where your energy is being wasted on things that don’t bring you joy or fulfillment.
Find What Holds You: Focus on what brings you real happiness and start investing your energy there.
Start Small: Even if it’s just a drop at a time, begin pouring into something that truly matters and can grow over time.
Build on What Fulfills You: Over time, continue to invest in what fills you up rather than drains you. This will lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
The Sip: Fill Your Life with Purpose
Stop pouring your energy into what drains you and start investing in what truly brings you purpose and happiness. Even if it starts with just a few drops, focus on what holds your efforts and allows them to grow. By doing this, you’ll find a deeper sense of satisfaction and fulfillment in your life.
