Suckers and Fillers

Are you a sucker or a filler? You are either one or the other. Either you suck the life out of people, or you fill people up! You know what I'm talking about. There are people that you spend an hour with and it feels like you worked a 40 hour week! You leave feeling totally drained. No matter what good might be happening in their life, they'll find something to complain about. Then there are people that you spend time with that you leave filled up and encouraged. I'd rather be around a filler that is having a bad day than a sucker having a good day! Even when a filler is having a bad day, they have a way of learning and growing from their experience.

Here are some comparisons...
suckers deflate, fillers inflate
suckers are self centered, fillers are others oriented
suckers have poor self esteem, fillers are self confident
suckers take, fillers give
suckers are self defeated, fillers find a way to win
suckers whine, fillers learn
suckers kill vision, fillers enlarge vision
suckers make excuses, fillers make it happen
suckers hide, fillers dream
suckers zap energy, fillers light up the room
suckers look back, fillers look ahead
suckers can't, fillers will
suckers dwell, fillers move on
suckers throw stones, fillers block shots
suckers play defense, fillers play offense
suckers react, fillers are proactive

Which one are you? Don't suck...fill!
