Love isn’t self-destruction dressed up as virtue. It’s not about setting yourself on fire to keep others warm.
Real love—the kind that lasts—comes from a place of fullness, not emptiness. You were made to give of yourself, but not at the cost of losing yourself. That’s the revolution: strong love flows from a secure heart, and it starts with filling your cup first.
The world tells you to keep pouring, even when you’re running on empty. But you can’t give what you don’t have. If you’re depleted—emotionally, spiritually, mentally—your giving turns into resentment or burnout.
Faith offers a better way: receive before you give. Let yourself be loved first—by a higher power, by people who truly care, by the truth of your inherent worth. When you’re full, giving doesn’t feel like a chore; it feels like joy.
Picture this: a life where you love so deeply that it amplifies who you are. Your relationships become stronger, your purpose clearer, your heart lighter. Dream big—what if your love could change the world around you? Not because you’re trying to prove something, but because you’re so secure that giving comes naturally. That’s the kind of love you’re built for.
You’re not alone in figuring this out. There’s help to guide you—ways to build that inner strength so you can love without breaking.
Start small: take a moment today to fill your cup. Maybe it’s a quiet prayer, a walk in nature, or a conversation with someone who lifts you up. Let yourself receive. Then notice how it feels to give from that place. You can do this. Aim high, and let strong love lead the way.
Big love,
Maximo
