Affirmation: Today, I open myself to receive without apology or resistance.

“Let us do away with the ponderosity of thought and approach the thing simply and quietly. It is the nature of the Universe to give us what we are able to take. It has given all; we have not yet accepted the greater gift.”
—Ernest Holmes

If the Universe is truly abundant—and we cannot deny it. Evidence of its abundance is everywhere. There truly is enough for everyone. The problem may not be humanity’s greed, but rather our inability to receive the gifts that are already available. Perhaps we simply do not see what is before us.

I believe deeply in the Law of Giving and Receiving. It is the way the Universe operates. We give, and we receive. When this sacred circle is allowed to flow freely, we discover that we are never truly in need. Life simply flows.

One of my favorite mantras is, “All my needs are met.” When I feel this statement in my bones, I am able to recognize how blessed I am at all times. Living in a state of giving and receiving keeps us mentally and emotionally open to everything we require. We cannot out-give the Universe/God which is always supplying us.

How wide can we open our arms today to receive the blessings of life? It is overflowing. There is plenty—always. Worthiness is the key that unlocks the door of receiving. Today, receive a smile, a penny, or a million dollars. They are all the same.

“There is no big or small to the mind that maketh all,” wrote Emerson, “and it cometh everywhere.”

Where are you?
