  "...and how much of ourselves we give."
  Question : is it possible to you give too much of oneself?
  If so, where does that put you in respect to the box? in, out, or - the recycle bin?

  For me, it's a realization that I am out of the box if I have the desire to help/intercede/serve. If I cannot in that moment help it doesn't change my desire to help. Once I have that desire I am out of the box. I believe that the greater my desire to help the more willing I am to help and the less willing I am to make excuses for not helping. That is how it works for me.
