Receiving

Last Thursday, I met up with my friends Dale and Carol who were raving about the abundance of unexpected income and all sorts. As I listened to their stories, I could not help but feel amaze but at the back of my mind, I was wondering why it wasn't happening to me. Later on, I blurted out'I hope it's my turn soon!'

"Yours is on the way," Dale replied.

"Just receive. Your blocking it by thinking too much about it," added Carol.


And then, it dawned to me. Yes, I was so anxious about when will it arrive or how or why or why not - all those sorts of questions which when given too much attention causes worries and blocks the blessings that would have been well on its way. I recalled last December, I kept on declaring that I am receiving abundance and love that come way and they did come my way. When I saw that it had been flowing effortlessly, my program came in and made me ask, "What's up? How is this gonna end?" And sure enough, it did end abruptly.

As I continued to listening to my friends, I understood how I allowed those things that I desired to flow: I took time to notice it. In Wayne Dyer's words, I 'tuned in' to it. As the adage says 'Where attention goes, energy flows.' Our role is to give attention to the things that we want their presence to increase in our lives. It is so easy; it even requires you to think less!

So last Friday, I practiced the lessons that I learned. I took time to notice all the things that I received; from the person opening the door for me, to the client who patronized me, to the lotion and pen given as presents, to the unsolicited sundae hot fudge brought to me by a colleague, to the smiles generously given by friends, to the money given as present by my brother-in-law, to the generous love I receive from my families, and even to the service rendered by our house help. It's endless and I keep receiving up to now.

I am now learning to stop asking when it's gonna stop because it's never gonna stop anyway; especially when I'm tuned it. The goal is to allow it to flow by welcoming and receiving it with much love. That's how easy it is to let abundance flow. We just have to learn to receive, take notice of it, say thank you. And of course, give back whatever it is that comes from the heart.

I earnestly pray and declare for abundance, health, love and respect, and the grace of the Divine to flow through you unceasingly. Happy Sunday!
