Lawyers Have To Fill An Empty Bucket

Lawyers Deserve to Be Inspired

Everyone needs to be inspired. It is a natural need to receive positive feedback. We can't just inspire others to fill their buckets. What is a bucket? It is a visual explanation for where we hold our mental, physical and emotional well-being. 

Without a regular input of positive and empowering information to keep us happy, encouraged, and full of hope, we feel dull. We find ourselves just going through the motions. Without hope, people live in despair. Everyone needs to be inspired. 

Many years ago, I had a mentor, and she said to me, “Pamela you give to others continuously. You make sure to take care of other’s needs.  You give and give. You walk around as if you were an empty bucket. Not only that, “She said, “Your bucket has a hole in the bottom. You reach down through the hole in your bucket into the dirt to give.” That described my life. I gave from depletion. I gave when I had nothing to give anyone else.

Solicitors are the same. Lawyers give. Lawyers demand so much of themselves. Law firms insist on impossible workloads. Solicitors buckets are empty, yet they give at the office, to their clients, and then they go home to give to spouses or partners and then their children and never to themselves.

The Results from Lawyers Depleting Themselves

The results are disastrous. Depression, alcoholism, and addiction is destroying many, and bright lights have become dimmed when they have so much to offer.
