Are You A Good Receiver? It’s Not ALL About Giving!

So What Do I Mean By Being A Good Receiver?

We’ve been taught in life that it’s important to be a good GIVER. Most people out there still haven’t grasped this concept, but that’s a conversation for another time:)

You don’t hear anyone telling you to be a good RECEIVER… but for their to be a ‘Giver’ their must be a ‘Receiver’. Hmmmm… something to think about? This is one of the boats that people are missing and they wonder why they aren’t getting what they want in life.

When I made this shift… EVERYTHING changed! I mean everything… The people that I started attracting into my life and my business blew me away. I knew it was because of the shift I made in my mindset about being a good receiver.

I created a video for you today explaining this concept much more in detail… as well as giving you a few examples of how to make this shift. Watch the video now:

So Are You Going To Practice Being A Good Receiver?

Really Great and to the point True blog post Eric!

Thanks for sharing!

This concept of recievning is also what the Law of Attraction is all about. If you are not ready to recieve the things you have been asking for you will not let them in.

Easier said than done but its still crucial to get what you want in life.

Keep up the good work and keep on sharing!

  Jon,
  
  You are right about it being easier said
  then done. With some practice and consistency
  someone can open up and start to receive pretty
  quickly.

I had a hard time becoming a receiver Eric… because I only wanted to give. But what I learned is that I was denying the giver a chance to get. I was being selfish. I wasn’t allowing them to manifest in their life.

And, life is about giving and receiving. Now, when someone wants to give me something, a compliment, a smile, a helping hand, a gift… I receive. I receive words. I receive love. I receive abundance.

Great video Eric…. and the woods are beautiful… nice to see that in NY.

Great point Eric. Your video reminds me…

Years ago when Johnny Carson was on the tonight show, Martina McBride was a guest and Johnny Carson told her she was very pretty. Martina Mcbride said no I’m not. (we all know she is) Johnny said look, if I’m going to go out on a limb and give you a compliment, you should say thank you.

Some things really stick in your mind. I remember this like it was yesterday.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Eric, for talking to people about something that is very important, yet, few people talk about.

Most people don’t understand this concept.

Sometimes it amazes me how hard it is for some people to simply say “Thank you.” So many people, when they receive a compliment, act as if they are not worth the compliment! People don’t HAVE to compliment you. It’s like someone giving you a present, and you refusing to accept it. Despite what you might think, its not polite. If someone else feels you deserve a compliment or a present, then you probably do!

  Jason,
  
  The 2 best words in the world… THANK YOU!
  Definitely hard for people to say… you’re right
  on when you say it’s because they feel they are
  not worthy of it.
  
  The funny thing is there is NO such thing as ‘worthy’.
  We come into this world 100% loved and supported
  by the Universe… and we leave the same way:)
  
  Keep up the awesomeness!

Hey Eric,

The old axiom \\"you get what you give comes to mind\\". All though it may not seen evident, there IS a perfect balance in the universe.

Whether we give or take, it\\\’s best to come from a place of non-attachment and neutrality. This is the best way to maintain one\\\’s peace regardless of which side of the experience we are on.

That said, I think many people through self-limiting beliefs and behavior patterns are not always open to be a good RECEIVER. Because giving/receiving are intertwined, not being a good receiver may also limit your ability to give as well.

This is a great concept that must people seem to miss. There is unlimited amount of knowledge in this world and I lot of people do not take advantage of it. We miss this aspect on a daily basis because we always want someone to listen what we have to say, but never want to listen what they have to say. We have to definitely get out of this mindset because we can’t continue living our lives like a closed book. It is just like the concept of having all of the knowledge in the world, but not applying the knowledge that we obtain. Like Eric said, once you open up yourself and change your mindset, you will begin to see the wonderful aspirations of life.

Hi Eric,

About 10 minutes ago I was thinking about what one of my successful friends told me yesterday . He said that wealth comes form the heart; that wealth is something that one needs to deserve. Today I was wondering do I already deserve to be wealthy?. But maybe it’s not about that. Maybe I should learn how to receive?Great idea about the affirmation. I’m writting it down right now.

I am open to receive all of the gifts and blessings the universe has to offer.

Thank you Eric for opening my eyes:)

  Miko,
  
  You deserve EVERYTHING you want! We
  all do… keep saying that affirmation everyday.
  
  At first it might not feel true… but keep doing it
  because one day very soon it will feel true and
  watch out!
  
  Thanks for stoppin’ by my blog:)

Hi Eric,

I can honestly say that I tend to preach more on giving than receiving. You have pointed out so clearly that one cannot truly happen without the other. When I give to someone else, I do it because I truly want to be a blessing, never with strings attached and it feels great; however, when that person acknowledges the gift (no matter what it is) I feel even better. What is really disappointing is trying to be a blessing (a giver) and the gift is not received. This does not happen very often, but when it does, I wonder what has happened in a person’s life to make them this way.

If you are not good at receiving, try to change that part of you because you are missing out on so much joy.

Thank you for sharing, Eric.

Awesome post! Thanks for sharing that valuable message today. It couldn’t have come at a more perfect time for me. I have recieved so much this past year that I have been on a giving mission and haven’t welcomed in as much receiving lately, maybe I thought I had reached my limit!
Thanks!
P.S. I LOVE your shirt too very hip.

I AM OPEN TO RECEIVE ALL OF THE GIFTS & BLESSINGS THE UNIVERSE HAS TO OFFER!
