You Are Allowed to Receive
Sometimes we become so accustomed to working for everything we have that receiving can feel uncomfortable.
We question whether we’ve done enough. Whether we deserve something good. Whether it’s okay to simply accept a little joy, kindness, rest, or abundance without feeling like we have to earn it first.
But not everything good in life has to be earned.
Sometimes the opportunity is already in front of you.
Sometimes the kindness is already being offered.
Sometimes the moment of peace is already here.
You are allowed to receive it.
Today's Reflection
You don’t have to apologize for the good things that find their way to you. Let yourself accept them. Let yourself enjoy them.
And while you’re learning to receive, don’t forget to give yourself credit for how far you’ve already come. You may also enjoy Notice What You Bring.
There is room for your good days, your hopes, and your happiness, too.Today, notice one good thing that comes your way—and instead of questioning whether you deserve it, simply say:
Thank you. I’m willing to receive this.
