Aha!
A long post, perhaps will help you receive…

LL 20 - Prepare to Receive
Disbelief blocks the doorway…
Self-rejection trips those who cross the threshold..

“Be consistent in your training, receive all things. Remember as you become more consistent in your ability to receive, the opportunities for you to receive more and more abundance in life will become more consistent as well.”

Better at receiving compliments today than yesterday, yet - why am I am surprised when people compliment my singing?

False humility has no place here, this is genuine surprise.

Not surprise born in humility, rather surprise born first in self-rejection, then once past that horror of horrors, surpise born in disbelief.

Mean, Jealous Voice whispers: “Oh s/he doesn’t really mean that, they are just saying it to be nice/polite.”

Friendly, Loving Voice shushes Mean, Jealous Voice: They are sincere. Accept, Receive, Believe - it’s real…

This is YOU - this is the REAL you - this is where you belong, you have a gift, sing your song…

The gift - first squashed, then hidden, then fearfully locked away - emerges and presents, offers itself, and compliments are offered in return.

Aha - the gift expressed is received, and in return complements are expressed…they too, must be received. It is a circle of giving and receiving, receiving and giving…

Receive, Breath, Believe, Breath, Accept, Breath

Yes, you may express your gift, you must express your gift, for it is only through expressing your gift that you may receive the abundance that is yours.

The first step to receiving your abundance is receiving, believing, accepting the compliment.

Then you must receive, believe, accept the compliment so that you can express your gift again and again and again…

It is a cycle, a circle, of giving and receiving - for what is a gift if it is not given? It must be given to be received, it must be received to be given…

The gift you have must be given.

“Hide not your talents, for use they were made, what’s a sundial in the shade?”
Then there is the parable of the talents…

Your gifts are given to you to be given to others…you must pass on your gifts through their expression, it is only by giving them up/expressing that they are fully received.

Receive, believe those compliments for they are the gift of the person who received your gift and by receiving your gift, gives your gift a PURPOSE!

You must express your gift to fully receive it.
Yes, you may.
You may.
You may.
And yes, you may receive those compliments in return, for they are real and sincere and are what the giver has to give in this moment.

“May the circle be unbroken…”

Aha!
