And now let's get back to today's topic.
Today I will be talking about the natural flow of giving and receiving and also about how we most of the time we block ourselves from being able to have our dreams come true and we do this to ourselves unknowingly over and over.
So as you know I'm really really big on dreams and dreaming and everybody has dreams and desires and wishes that they hope will come true in their life and I really believe that everyone has a dream in their heart that they really wish that could come true and they don't completely understand why they're struggling or there's a lot of obstacles and hurdles along the way.
Challenges are a part of having any dream come true but a way that we block ourselves from actually being able to receive whatever it is that we want,
This happens whenever we're expecting the universe to meet a specific desire that we have and we're not willing to give to other people.
You see giving and receiving is like a perfect circle and it works like a funnel.
So the ideal state for us to be in is in this funnel and I invite you to visualize a funnel actually it's two funnels one on the right one on the left and they're both 50-50 so 50% of the funnel is to giving and the other 50% of the funnel is for receiving.
When you are open to giving and receiving in an equal amount of space or on the same level you're open to giving and receiving it's like a 50-50 you open yourself to the natural flow of what is ideal what is abundant what is plentiful and most important you open yourself to the reciprocation of the universe because the universe always mirrors back whatever you give it because the universe is always concerned with reciprocation with mirroring and with giving you back whatever you put in and so in order for this to flow in a natural progressive way that's flowing towards progression and expansion you need to be equally open to giving and equally open to receiving so if for example if your funnel is 80% open to receiving and only 20% open to giving then you're actually out of balance and it's gonna be really challenging for your dreams to come true because you're so much more focused on what you can get what you can receive and you're not really giving you're not really being generous with your time with your energy to other people and to those around you so whenever you're only giving about 20% you're only gonna be getting about 20% you see the universe will reciprocate whatever you're giving it so you cannot expect your dreams and desires to all be fulfilled and come true when you're not giving you're not being generous and kind and offering what you have to give and so you block yourself from that constant flow of giving and receiving and instead of having you know a perfect flow you create a lot of blockage resistance frustration struggle and instead of making your dreams come true in like two years it's gonna take like five or more years for it to come true because the more that you focus on only getting and not giving the more that you extend the time frame that your dreams or desires will actually be fulfilled so your challenge is actually to give to create a space of openness of balance of abundance of generosity of kindness of giving so that you're able to also receive and the universe will reciprocate whatever you're putting out is what you're gonna also be taken in as well so I find that a key way that we block ourselves from receiving and from attaining our dreams and desires is we believe we have nothing to give and so because we believe we have nothing to give we're always trying to get we're always trying to get get more love get more attention get more money get more whatever it is that you want we're always chasing and running after the things that we want to get because we believe inside of ourselves that we have nothing of value to give we also don't consider ourselves or our time or our energy our resources and our presence to be valuable in essence we kind of devalue our worth and make it where we seem really needy and demanding to the universe always asking what we want always asking what we can get without stopping to pay attention to how we can give and how we can be kind and generous so that we can activate the flow of giving and receiving and have it be an open funnel for giving and an all and also an open funnel for receiving again it really has to be a 50-50 like you have to be willing to give and willing to receive because if you're only focused on getting then you're actually sending out signals to the universe that you're selfish that you're egocentric that you're needy that you're chasing and running after what you want and you feel frustrated and you're facing a lot of struggles because you're creating this divide between the natural flow of things so I encourage you to pay attention to yourself and find ways that you can open up to receive by being more receptive and by remaining open to new experiences keep your mind open keep your heart open because you really never know when that next blessing in your life will come in and you're not gonna know where it's gonna come from either so if you're not completely receptive and open to new experiences and new beginnings and new people and new environments that you're actually gonna really miss out on the abundance and the beauty of the world and how plentiful and abundant it is if you want to learn more about how to do this tune into a previous podcast that I recorded earlier that was titled how to be a better receiver and you'll actually know different ways to become a better receiver and to be more open to receiving whatever it is that you want without creating a lot of blockages so tune into that it was an earlier episode of love dream live and it really goes deeper into how to become a better receiver the biggest thing is to be open and have faith and believe in the reciprocation of the universe and believe in the fact that what goes around will come around and you want to find a way to leverage that to your good to your benefit as well as to other people's benefit because whenever we're focused on what we want we're always focused on what we lack and what we need and that void within us so no matter how you label your dreams your desires your wishes your hopes they're all longings for things that you don't have yet and so if you're only focusing on the lack and what is missing from your life then you're gonna get more of that as well back but then on the other hand if you believe that you have something to offer if you believe that your time is of value that your presence is of value that you have something of value to offer to the world then you need to do it give to other people give your time give your attention give your affection give your money give whatever you have to offer and whatever you can give but always give with kindness with generosity with a true authentic desire to serve and to give to people and when you do this the universe is paying attention and listening and it will reciprocate that kindness that generosity back to you now I do want to point out something that is a little bit contradictory because a lot of times we give and we're expecting to receive always receive back from that same source so say for example I give a lot of my time and attention and affection to Bob but Bob doesn't return it to me then I can start getting really defensive really upset and disappointed because there is no reciprocation but what you're not really seeing is that actually Bob needs whatever it is that you're giving and whatever it is that you need back it may not come back to you directly from Bob you might get it a month later down the road from like totally different source so that's just a warning that don't always expect that wherever you're giving you're always gonna be expecting something back because that's not gonna be the case no matter where you're giving give without the expectation that something better come back my way because whenever you do expect for something to come back your way and you do it with that purpose or with that intention in mind it's actually gonna take a lot more giving in that manner because the universe sees that and understands that you're only really giving because you're expecting to get so just to be clear don't always expect to get wherever you're giving you might give in a certain place but you might receive in a totally different place so don't have that stubbornness of believing that wherever you're giving that you're also gonna have the reciprocation from that same source I think another key point to understand is that a lot of other people around us they also have dreams they also have needs they also have desires and so whenever we're able to contribute to that in any way whenever we're able to give them whatever they need and make their dreams come true make their hopes and desires come to reality we're actually contributing to that and whenever we do that and we contribute to other people and we help other people and we serve other people and then we give to other people we're actually opening ourselves up for more receiving and more abundance because you're really open to that give and receive and that natural flow and natural reciprocation and all you really have to do is allow the flow to happen so often we block ourselves we don't believe we have enough anything to give we don't believe that anything we are or have is a value to other people and so we block ourselves and whenever we are able to release that blockage we're able to open to the allowance of having that flow just happen just naturally giving and receiving so whenever we're allowing and open to giving and receiving that flow just happens naturally and there's nothing we can do to stop ourselves from getting and there's nothing that we can do to stop ourselves from giving because it's a consistent natural flow it might take time and effort and energy for you to get into that flow but whenever you are in that flow you're just gonna really feel it and it's gonna be something that really feels uplifting and empowering because you feel in a sense that you're worthy of giving and you're worthy of receiving and you're a part of this giant ecosystem of the universe and the giving and receiving of everything in life so I want to challenge you today to remove the blockages to remove the limiting beliefs that you might have if you believe that you don't have anything to give because everyone has something to give if you cannot give you will not receive if you will not give you cannot receive it is just a simple but powerful relationship and a powerful law of the universe so whatever it is that you desire whatever dreams you have whatever hopes that you have in your heart open yourself to receiving those things and open the open the funnel by being able to give whatever you have to offer you must believe you have something to offer in order for you to believe that you can receive it's really unfortunate how many people actually block themselves from attaining their dreams their hopes and desires because they believe they have nothing to give they believe they have nothing of value to give to the world and to other people and that in itself creates major blockage so you're not gonna be able to receive either so I really encourage you to pay attention to yourself and whenever you're asking something from the universe are you just asking for you to always get are you always in a getting mode are you ever saying wow you know this person that I know needs help with this and I know how to do that so maybe you can give of yourself and then whenever you give of yourself the universe will actually reciprocate to you thank you so much for tuning in today I invite you to pay more attention on what you're giving to the world and what you're asking the universe to give you back and find a way to create that 50-50 flow so that you're able to open yourself to the beauty and abundance and plentifulness of the world by creating that flow of giving and receiving as well as being generous and being receptive at the same time have a wonderful day
