Receiving is as important as giving

When we reject someone's offer, act of kindness, act of giving; regardless of their intention, we are diminishing the offer by declining it.  ⠀

⠀

We’re rejecting someone else, we’re declining the offer of an act, a payment, whatever it is from someone who wants to give it. That’s right, by offering they’re saying they want to do and give those things to us in whatever form. ⠀

⠀

By not allowing ourselves to receive and accept the offer we’re saying no them, to the energy they are offering while also saying no to filling our own cup, or at the very least ensuring it doesn’t drain too quickly or too much.⠀

⠀

Think about how you feel when you make a genuine offer and it is rejected. Our pride, ego or inability to receive for whatever reason also affects the person giving not just ourselves.⠀

Remember to allow yourself to receive
