Why Putting Others First “Almost Broke Me” | Adetayo Ibijemilusi

How do you put people first without self-abandoning yourself? Because I struggle with that. I was a people pleaser, and that stemmed from insecurities that I didn't deal with at the time because I was bullied and I wanted to feel accepted. And, you know, I went through a lot of stuff to heal. I put people first, you know, all the time, and I was drained and I was broken. And it got to a point where my mom picked me up and she said, "Tyrell, remember these three things: God first, then yourself, and then others." And so I won't go out my way to, to help you if it's going to be detrimental to me because I can't help you if I'm not good, logically. But I've noticed that when I put myself in a situation where, you know, I put God first, I put myself second, and then others, like I can still pour a little into you and my cup is still full. Now blesses me in abundance. If I give $1, God literally brings back $100 and I'm not even expecting it.
