Think of yourself as a vase, a vessel to be filled with that which is important.

It is best to fill the vase with yourself, with love for yourself and who you are. With that you can choose that which enters the vase and you influence how that becomes a part of who you are.

Never allow your empty vase to be completely filled by another person, for you have little influence on what they place into the vase yet it still has significant influence upon who you are. If they choose to stop filling your vase, then you are left empty and alone, not knowing yourself.

As you fill your own vase, you will love and respect yourself enough to be able to make contributions to the vase of another person - at that time you’ll recognize when you are making too much contribution and you won’t respect a person who does not know themselves.

Find balance within self first.

An individual who is comfortable with who they are and knows themselves, is attractive to others.
 
Can you kick my vase over, so all the junk will spill out...
Then I will refill it with the real stuff I like that I call ME...

I wish I had read this 20 years ago. : )

You can do that yourself, set down the baggage filled with things you don’t want and start to re-invent yourself one step at a time.

I say that as frequently we literally have to walk away from something in order to see the possibility that something else is actually possible.

(humor)

I’m sure that like myself, you have big feet - all we have to do is walk through the room and we are guaranteed to knock something over.
