The Grace to Receive
The art of receiving is an aptitude that is far more difficult to
attain than the act of giving. To give
with you heart is easy…it makes you feel good about yourself.
But the act of receiving can make you feel
inferior and undignified. The receiver
does not see that it is possible for you to get the thing yourself, or that you
may be wary that the giver will one day extract payment for it. And then there is our own self-worth that
comes into “receiving” – the feeling that we do not deserve to be treated well.
It is a good idea to practice receiving
with the same grace as that which is used when you give.
