The Overflow

Lisa Nichols speaks a lot about giving from The Overflow.

The Overflow is the excess goodness in your life; excess because you have already done what is necessary to care for you. What remains, is the surplus, the excess, the overflow.

She contends that ensuring that you are happy FIRST; ensuring that you have joy FIRST, is the only way to ensure that you are able to give to someone else. When you give from your overflow, YOU have already been taken care of; YOU do not go without.

She also says negativity works it's way through your overflow FIRST, and then to you; thus, you are slow to anger.

Make sense?

I'm a hot head, and have been a hot head for quite a while. Seems like I need to work on me and on building up my Overflow.
