Taker vs. Receiver

I used to believe that there are only givers and takers.  I was mistaken.  I learning to be more balanced by being a giver and a receiver too.  That’s how we allow the energy to continue its flow and cycle. 

Sometimes it’s hard for most self proclaimed ‘givers’ to also become a good ‘receiver’ because they mistaken receiving as being a taker, which they never want to become.

When we know the difference between ‘takers’ and ‘receiver’ it is easier to become a good receiver.  Being a receiver is NOT selfish, it does not drain or burden others, and people don’t walk away resentful after they’ve served you, like they often feel when serving a habitually inconsiderate taker.   Those takers remain the same because they continue to benefit from their victim mentality and they subconsciously do not want to change that yet.  This is why the ‘givers’ dread these ‘takers’ and yet some ‘givers’ need to be needed to feel important so they don’t know how to get out of that cycle of over servicing, getting burn out and hiding from the ‘takers’. (see the 6 fundamental human needs.)

Everyone must learn how to become a good receiver so that we can allow our Creator’s abundant blessings to be received more fully.  Receiving well shows humility, gratitude, and energizes all participants in the exchange.  Being a good receiver will strengthen relationships, create great health, more organized, and increase abundance.

These wonderful changes in your life occurs because we have learned to work in synchronicity with our divine source.  In order to work in perfect synchronicity, we need to create opportunities to receive.  Here is what it can look like. 

In my life, I am learning to stop working so hard and pause often to meditate.  Meditation for me is a mixture of prayer, visualization, listening and feeling divine messages in my heart with gratitude.  Feel at peace with receiving!   Make time each day for meditation, prayer, and stillness before you take actions.

So when you’re stressed out, burnt out, or even resentful because you’ve over-served and given so much to unappreciative people, stop for a moment and be still.  Actively feel what the universe wants to offer you.  Take your time to embrace the comfort, wisdom, love, hope, and healing.  Surrender to the experience for a moment until you ‘hear and feel’ God’s voice.  Feel the divine love and be grateful for gifts that come along.  The abundant gratitude in your heart will naturally let you know when to pass that loving energy forward and to whom.   You will feel a burning sensation in your gut to take inspired passionate actions.

This reminds me of a story in the Bible about Elijah.  As Elijah seeks for the Lord, he finds Him not in the noise and commotion but in the stillness.  He feels and hears with his soul.  

 

“1 Kings 19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?”

 

Learn how to do Energy Balancing with Faith so you learn to release old thinking patterns that stress you out and burn you out.  This makes room for new positive energy to enter your heart.  We don’t need to always be multitasking and hardworking.  Let go of fear and adopt more faith.  When we have adopted a sufficient amount of faith, we will feel peace.  Jesus has asked us to have peace in our heart. 

 

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” (John 14:27.)

 

Don’t worry, if you aren’t good at receiving yet, your body will force you to stop and rest.  Take advantage of that situation to ‘hear’ and ‘feel’ the heavenly messages for you.  I believe sicknesses and pains have a purpose and that purpose is to help us in our progression.  Before you need to be compelled to align yourself with your divine path, be sensitive to the Literal Language of the body so you can help yourself do small course corrections each day instead of being forced to change.  When you receive better you’ll have less headaches, better gut health, more friends, more energy and so many other blessings.

We don’t need to overthink or know everything now, we will be given the answers as we go when we work in synchronicity with our Heavenly Father.  We often make life harder for ourselves unnecessarily.  So, let’s stop resisting what the universe wants to give us and learn how to be better receivers and create more peace in the world.   Peace creates more joy, ease, and flow in our lives.  I find that I work joyfully and more intentionally.  I don’t feel overwhelmed, rushed or panicked, and I get more done.  I feel more confident, hopeful, and restful.  I don’t feel confused or wonder if I have done enough or what to do next.

I hope this post helps you in some way.  Please comment below your thoughts.
