If you have a full cup of water, and you pour half of it on your plant, you are left with half a cup of water. That’s normal, right?

We assume love works the same way. If we spend our love on ourselves, then we’ll have less for the people around us. That’s where we go wrong. Love is NOT like water.

It functions more like a muscle; the more you use it, the stronger it gets. It’s a common misconception about love and about self-interest.
