Learning To Receive

For most of us, the challenge is finding out what our purpose is in life. What is it that we were meant to do that gives meaning to our existance. In fact, we may go through our entire life wondering if we accomplished what the universe had planned for us. Although we ask for guidance, how many of us truly expect our question to be answered. How comfortable are we in receiving. There are many of us, who are natural nurturers by heart. We will go to lengths to help others, but we become uncomfortable and feel undeserving when others give to us. Learning to receive graciously is just as important as the act of giving unconditionally. As we go through life seeking our purpose, practice asking others for their help so that they may have an opportunity to give. Today, receive graciously. Acknowledge that you are deserving to attain your heart's desire. Give the universe a chance to take care of you.
Blow the candles out and make a wish...

(It's so much easier for me to give than to receive. Asking for help is alot more difficult. I think it may be a control thing.  I understand about closing the circle, but it's getting over the "I can do it all" mentally that is the biggest hurdle. I guess it's about doing a little of both, giving and receiving.)
