Ishtar reminds us not to say yes to something if it means saying no to ourselves.
When giving becomes painful, it means it’s a resource you do not have and you are allowing yourself to fall into debt.
Think of it in terms of Spoon Theory.
Every time you spend a spoon you don’t have, you pay it back with interest.
So why are you giving more to others than what you have to spare?
