Day Three
If you've ever been on an airplane or watched a movie with airplanes, you likely have heard these words of advice. In the movie, Moms' Night Out, (which one lucky person will win as part of the giveaway) this piece of advice is used as a metaphor and is the reason behind their "fun" night out.
I often wonder, if in the event of a sudden emergency, would I remember to put on my own mask before trying to save others. As a mother myself, intuitively I might be more focused on saving my children. As a wife, I might want to save my husband before myself. As a friend, I might want to help others, because they need my help too.
Now, of course the reason for this caution is obvious. If you are attempting to save someone else without oxygen, you'll pass out, becoming useless. Coincidentally you would then become somewhat of a burden, but mostly just useless.
When you are taken care of, What does that enable you to do for others?
