I once took the most beautiful red roses to my old aunt (let’s call her Emma).
- First, she began to fret about, complaining that she did not have where to place the roses.
- Then she began to throw them nervously, chaotically into an old vase without previously filling it with water. The roses were falling to the floor.
- Then she said that the roses were not for her. No. They were too beautiful. Too expensive. She would give them to her ancestors. She would put them in her altar. She wanted to get rid of the roses as fast as she could, to pass them on, NOT to receive them.
As I saw her struggle, my heart broke. It broke for her and for myself.
My heart broke for her because she was not allowing herself to receive the beauty, love, magic and harmony that the roses bring.
It broke for myself because she was not receiving my love and how much I valued her. To me, she was as beautiful and precious as the roses I chose, but she could not receive how much I valued.
- Or are you working, praying, struggling for it without a space to receive it when it comes because secretly you do not believe that you are worth it?
- Do you believe that the world, life, the universe wants you to have it? Do you believe that God wants you to have it? Or do you believe that you must struggle against life in order to have it, because life is working against you?
- Can you receive it when it shows up? Can you receive the allies who support you? Can you receive the resources that facilitate it? Can you receive the clients that value and pay you? Can you receive the followers, fans or audiences that get your message? Can you receive the beloved that values you deeply?
