Acceptance
By Mary Manin Morrissey
The Universe holds nothing back from us. We hold back because we don’t feel we’re worthy and then we don’t let the gifts grow into their fullness because we ignore them. For instance, suppose someone pays you a compliment. How much do you really let that in? Do you fend it off right away, or acknowledge your own goodness? The next time someone shows appreciation for you or what you’ve done, try simply accepting the gift without disparagement. Then consider how that acceptance makes you feel.
