By allowing ourselves to receive, we are given the gift of seeing through another person's eyes. Giving and receiving are part of the same cycle, and we each
give and receive in our own ways. But we can lose our balance when we try to
be too controlling on either side of the cycle. On the receiving end, we may
feel that we don't deserve the effort made if what we gave was easy for us to
give. But perhaps there is a different lesson there for us. We may be
receiving not only gratitude, but a chance to see the world through the eyes
of another. We may be learning that just because we gave easily, it doesn't
diminish its value. Or perhaps the universe is giving us an example to hold
close to our hearts, to encourage us on some future day when our own generous
act of giving is not met with a visible act of receiving. When we can allow
ourselves to receive as well as give, we do our part to keep the channels of
abundance open for ourselves and others. |
