Giving is the Same as Receiving

I’m a giver; I’ve always truly believed that. I give everything I can… Until recently, I understood that giving and receiving are one and the same, and I cannot give or be a giver without receiving and being a receiver.

I didn’t often allowed myself to receive other people’s Love, appreciation, good words, compliments etc.

When someone gives to me and I don’t receive, I’m simply not a giver at all. I’m not giving because I’m not accepting their Love, I’m not allowing them to give as they want. I’m depriving them of their wish to give to me. How is that being a giver of me? No matter how much I give if I’m not able or willing to accept and receive just as much, I’m not “giving” and I’m not a giver.
