This month I was made aware of people who choose not to
receive gifts. I was introduced to
people who do not know how to receive. How well we receive determines how happy
we are. The goal is to let go of any kind of judgment when you give so you free
yourself from any projected judgments that
are keeping you from receiving.
What may help is to focus on the intention and love of the
giver that motivated that gift, offer or that sincere compliment. Believing them, accepting it and saying thank
you. Being grateful for what you have
received makes the giver happy because it says you appreciate the time and
effort that person has given you. Giving
is important yet we can also learn to accept blessings gratefully. Once the
door to receiving is open, imagine how many gifts are waiting for you.
