Are you open to receive?

 Can you receive? Can you even receive a compliment? By just saying “thank you” when it is given? I know I couldn’t do it before. Most people struggle with receiving. How can we receive the blessings being handed to us if we aren’t open? 

When we are hesitant to receive we are doing others and ourselves a disservice. Are you open to receive advice, love, friendships, creative ideas? 

Try to receive today by when someone gives you a compliment simply saying “ thank you.” Then go from there, one step at a time. 

 In a relationship you’re in ,make sure it’s a reciprocal situation. You bring a lot to the table by putting your energy and focus on them. By lavishing them with your powerful attention. Ask yourself if they are doing or are capable of doing the same for you. Ask the tough questions of am I just in this because I’m scared to be alone, or worse, because it’s convenient? 

Some things and people don’t serve you ,treat you well or encourage and inspire you anymore ; and they need to be left in the past. Leaving behind something important to us to move on to clearer waters and leaving something that isn’t working is so sad and difficult. 

Tony Robbins said “Self Growth is only self growth when it’s something you don’t want to do.” It can take time for self growth and to feel better. 

You may be sad for awhile , you may be moving away from a relationship and have to heal some wounds. As hard as it is whether leaving a job, or a friendship, or a relationship behind.

 For instance you may have decided you no longer want to go to the bar and drink with your friends every weekend and that the environment isn’t right for you. Then as you sit home you suddenly miss being there and miss the social experience and the drinks. You feel lonely and wonder if it was worth leaving this part of your life behind so that you can grow.

 In a relationship that you know is wrong for you that you are letting go of and suddenly that person is contacting you and saying they’ve changed and there is no more lying or whatever it is that was the struggle in the relationship and yet you know they’ve said this before and it hasn’t changed. Yet, you still love them and have these wonderful memories and you don’t want to leave that chapter in your life behind. 

However transition is rarely easy. If you know this thing or relationship you are leaving behind was necessary to move on albeit difficult, then you did the right thing. 

Appreciate the time alone and remember no matter how hard the situation there is always joy to be found. Even though there is heartache and pain we are moving towards a better place. 

The only thing constant in life is change. We need to be open to receive blessings and to move forward and to be our best self. Know what you bring to the table.  Don’t sell yourself short. Be with people that inspire you and continue to rise up and grow in your life. Sometimes people aren’t ready to grow with you and we just need to keep pressing forward. 

Stay strong and stay open to blessings 💖
