When we are offered a generous compliment, it is important to allow ourselves to receive it. Everyone has a limited belief about him or herself.  Remember beliefs are only thoughts that we have repeated until they become true for us. Often our beliefs stem back to a remark someone made that we chose at the time to believe.  Over time it takes on more power and becomes a belief.  Receiving a compliment contrary to our belief system, helps us dissolve the negative beliefs we hold about ourselves. It takes vulnerability and courage to accept a generous compliment.

During the Abundance Treasure Hunt I sent an email on the “Abundance of Beauty.”  I received a lovely email in return from Elfi.

Thank you for all your sharing and I am looking at your photo and I am appreciating the abundance of beauty of YOU through living usefully and walking humbly under the Grace of God… THANK YOU! Elfi

Elfi has been a subscriber and also a friend on Facebook for sometime now. Elfi has always been very generous with her compliments of my work and me. At first, it felt overwhelming to receive such a beautiful comment. I opened the email, read it and then closed it immediately. And then I opened it again, took a deep breath and let myself feel the impact of Elfi’s beautiful words. Thank you Elfi!  For you to notice goodness in someone else, you must have an abundance of it within your own being.

I would encourage you to receive the compliments that people give you. When someone offers their generosity in recognizing you through their words, take a deep breath and let yourself believe it and feel how good it feels to receive.

I keep a file of people’s great comments and testimonials and on a down day they help to remind me of the impact of my work and how it changes lives.

Allow yourself to receive other people’s compliments and gift them with a warm ‘thank you,’ when they offer you a beautiful compliment so that they know that you have received it. Remember, giving and receiving are both acts of generosity.
