Key #3 of a Joyful Life: Receive Abundance

The third key is important for keeping the energy flowing. Skipping this key will cause stagnation in your life. Accepting this key will increase your joy and your wealth.

The Joyous Expansion key #3 of living a joyful life is receive abundance.

Many people interested in personal development gain an understanding of giving. Giving offers such an amazing rush. Even two-year old feel good when they give. The opposite is the amazing gift of receiving. Being open to receiving allows energy to flow. This is even true in something as small as a conversation. Receiving the other person’s gifts in the conversation allows the conversation to be deep and meaningful. Instead of trying to think of what you are going to say next, actually receive what the person is giving you and attempt to understand them. Trust that you will say the correct reply.

One area that illustrates how many Americans receive abundance is when they receive a compliment. Often when I given a person a compliment they deflect it in some way. Some people actually feel it is selfish to receive a compliment. The truth is it is actually selfish to reject the compliment. All it takes is a simple thank you and the person giving the gift feels much better than if they heard, “No I am not” or “It was nothing.”

Receiving abundance is a way to be thankful for everything that you have. The more you are willing to receive, the more room you have to get more. The more you believe you deserve to receive good things, the more joy you will feel as you receive those good things. There is not a karmic balance that states that every good thing in your life must be balanced with something bad. The more good you receive, the more good you will receive and then the more good you will receive. There is a saying, “When it rains it pours.” It is up to you with your ability to be available for abundance whether it rains joyful laughs or sad frowns.

Michael Bernard Beckwith is the founder of the Agape Church in Atlanta and has been seen in the movie the Secret. In his book, Life Visioning, Beckwith wrote one of the greatest receiving abundance intentions I have read. It is, “I am available for more good than I have ever experienced, realized, manifested or imagined before in my life.”

Being available for more good than you can even dream opens you up for an amazing life where you will receive more than what you bargained.

Simple practice to help you receive

A simple practice to help you to allow yourself to receive abundance into your life is something I like to call “Saying your thank yous.” This goes beyond thanking someone for giving you a compliment. Saying your thank yous or SYTY, pronounced sci-tie, is a way to train yourself to be thankful for all the amazing things in your life. If you do not think you have a reason to be thankful, please realize that you are reading this blog on a magic box and at one point in time men had to walk on the inside of the road because people pooped in buckets and threw them it of windows.

You want to start SYTY when you first wake up in the morning. The goal is to say thank you for each action that you are doing that day. You do not have to say it aloud, just think the thought. When you first wake up in the morning, say thank you for the people who have made your bed, the job that allowed you to pay for your bed or the person who gave it to you for free. When you are in the shower thank the plumbers for running water or the Romans for inventing plumbing. Find something small to be thankful for.

As you go throughout the day doing your SYTY, you will be opening yourself to receive more abundance. The greatest gift you can give this world is to be thankful for what you have and to live a wonderfully successful life. That is what my dad answered when I told him how thankful I was for him raising me.
