Because sometimes one kind word is enough to change someone’s whole day.

Let’s talk about something simple but powerful — bucket fillers and bucket tippers.

Imagine we’re all walking around with an invisible bucket.

That bucket holds our emotional energy — our joy, our patience, our hope.

A bucket filler is anyone who adds to that bucket.

🪣 They listen without rushing.

🪣 They speak kindly.

🪣 They notice you.

🪣 They leave you feeling a little lighter than before.

A bucket tipper, on the other hand, drains the bucket, through:

👎🏻 Criticism

👎🏻 Sarcasm

👎🏻 Silence

👎🏻 Control

And here’s the thing — most bucket tippers aren’t bad people… they’re just carrying an empty bucket themselves.

What’s really powerful is this:

🙋🏻‍♀️ When you fill someone else’s bucket, your own gets filled too.

🙅🏻‍♂️ And when we keep tipping others’ buckets, we slowly empty our own.

So today, just pause and ask — 🤔

In my home, my relationships, my workplace…

Am I filling buckets, or tipping them?

We don’t have to be perfect.

Just a little more aware.

🫠 Because sometimes one kind word is enough to change someone’s whole day.
