“Recognize that it is not really possible to steadily help others when we ourselves are not in good physical, mental, or emotional state. We may be able to carry on for a while, but sooner or later we end up feeling depleted, discouraged, or weak. We cannot keep on giving when we are running on an empty tank. We need to be solid.” NeedsGivingMayEndsStatesHelpingFeelingsMotivationalRunningAbleEmotionalEmptyWeakHelping OthersSooner Or LaterDiscouragedTanks Author:Nhat Hanh
