Gratitude and Grace

Have you ever tried to pay someone a compliment and seen them embarrassed, confused, or even somewhat irked at your offering of kindness, love, and admiration?

Or maybe, you have been on the receiving end and found yourself uncomfortable and unable to respond with gratitude and grace.

This everyday example of the difficulties that can arise when we are offered a gift reveals one of the important principles of learning how to receive the abundance that the Universe holds for us.

In order to manifest, to take part in the process of co-creating your life and attracting to yourself the objects of your heart’s desires, you must know that you are worthy of receiving.

Manifesting involves using the power of your inner world to craft a fuller relationship with life.
You can remind yourself all day long that the same power that brought anything into the physical world also brought you, but if you do not feel worthy, you will disrupt the natural flow of energy into your life and create a blockage that makes manifestation impossible.

Remember that you are worthy of abundance. Feeling worthy of any blessings or desires is a feature of your inner life. Here are the major perceptions of those who know they are worthy and deserving of all of God’s blessings:

My self-esteem comes from myself. (As a child of God, my worthiness is a given.)

I accept myself without complaint and without conditions.

I take full responsibility for my life and what it is and is not. (I blame no one.)

I do not choose to accept guilt into my life. (I live in the present moment.)

I understand the importance of having harmony between my thoughts, my feelings, and my behavior. (This harmony translates into peace and contentment.)

There is nothing your highest self wants more than peace. This peace makes you feel worthy of all of the richest blessings of the Universe, and when you radiate this out into the world, it is returned to you without fail.
