So what is the secret to having a full bucket? Well, Carol explains, other people fill your bucket AND people need you to fill theirs.
SO, HOW DO YOU FILL A BUCKET?
You fill a bucket when you show love to someone, when you say or do something kind, or even when you give someone a smile… THAT’S BEING A BUCKET FILLER. A bucket filler is a loving caring person who says or does nice things that make others feel special.
BUT
You can also dip into a bucket and take out some good feelings. You dip into a bucket when you make fun of someone, when you say or do mean things, or even when you ignore someone…that’s being a BUCKET-DIPPER.
Many people who dip have an empty bucket. They think they can fill their own bucket by dipping into someone else’s…BUT THAT NEVER WORKS…You never fill your own bucket when you dip into someone else’s.
BUT GUESS WHAT…
WHEN YOU FILL SOMEONE’S BUCKET, YOU FILL YOUR OWN BUCKET TOOYOU FEEL GOOD WHEN YOU HELP OTHERS FEEL GOOD
TRY TO FILL A BUCKET AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS
All day long, we are either filling up or dipping into each other’s buckets by what we say and what we do. If you practice, you’ll become a great bucket-filler!
Just start each day by saying to yourself, “I’m going to do something to fill someone’s bucket today.” AND at the end of each day, ask yourself, “Did I fill a bucket today?”
So, I encourage you all to jump on this band wagon and use this terminology and practice for teaching and modeling for your child how to interact with others in kind, thoughtful, caring ways. It’s a beautiful practical way to live that ancient wisdom, “Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you.”
