    Today I am depleted. My battery is no longer flashing, it’s gone.

    For nearly 36 years I have put so much of my energy into others that today I am the worn out shell of a person.

    I’m done.

    I’m tired of overthinking, trying to hard, trying to please everyone, try to hide my shame, trying to make up for what never existed.

    I’m done.

    I have no clue how to heal the past. No idea what I want for my future but I know that I am sick & tired of feeling not good enough.

    Hi Luckyfox

    … perhaps not feeling so lucky today but the fox is a trickster and Life pushes for growth even if we do not notice.

    A student went to visit a Zen master. As the master gracefully served tea, the student talked about his problems and asked his question. The master remained quiet as the student spoke, continuing to pour.

    When the tea reached the brim of the cup, the Zen master kept pouring. The tea overflowed, spilling onto the tray, the table, and the carpet, until the student could no longer stand it.

    “Stop!” he said. “Can’t you see the cup is full?”

    “This is you,” said the master, positing to the cup. “How can I show you Zen, until you first empty your cup?”

    Although it may not feel like it, being in a place of done and emptiness can be the best place to discover the self.

    In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, in the expert’s there are few. – Shunryu Suzuki-roshi

    Dear luckyfox:

    Reads to me that you are done trying to earn your worth by doing for others. And so, you are now available to see that it was always there, your worth, waiting for you to see it, to believe it is there.
