Too Proud To Receive

You may be a generous giver and have difficulty in receiving. Most people who give have a difficult time to receive, either because they think they do not deserve to receive, do not want to be dependent on anyone, or perhaps receiving diminishes their value!

Our belief about receiving may not be at our conscious level.  We may have a difficult time to receive a complement and may feel uneasy. It is our responsibility to identify the belief system that created the emotion.  After we understand our belief about receiving we can practice receiving with ease, starting with small things to transform our limited belief system.

Too Proud to Receive

Do you give with enthusiasm?

Do you feel excited about giving?

Do you receive with the same enthusiasm?

Do you feel excited when you receive?

Why do we have difficulty:

Receiving a complement?

Receiving the fruits of your labor with ease?

Receiving a hug?

Receiving a constructive suggestion?

Perhaps you do not think you are worthy of receiving!

Perhaps you think only certain forms of receiving matters!

Perhaps you do not want to be obligated by receiving.

Perhaps you do not want to get hurt again.

Perhaps your story of lack and disconnection
in a strange way is comfortable for you.

Perhaps you think you are too good or not good enough
to receive and only should give.

Change your belief about receiving.

Practice receiving small things first.

Receive all your blessings with ease and joy.
