When Lights Go Dim

 

At some point you get tired of giving… your energy, your time, your concern and your help. Why are the very people that you make the most sacrifices for the ones that make you feel the most inadequate? It is a hard pill to swallow; people that you would give your life for or those that you’ve risked your life to give life. Spouses, partners, friends, family and children… over the years you continuously share your light. What happens when your light goes dim? All that remains is a hollow shell of what once was. Who is there to recharge you? You get to a point where nothing seems to matter anymore -none of it. It is at that point that you realize that you’ve given too much of yourself to others.  With a difficult spirit of admission you acknowledge that your light is now dim. Even worse in some cases -it’s completely blown. Save some light for yourself, even if it’s a tiny amount each day. Store it, preserve it, protect it and remember it only takes a spark to start a forest fire.
