Graet question, Pierre.

They are all examples of ways one can stay open, rather than shutting down. Having a big dream is staying open to big possibilities. Being curious (as all babies are) is staying open to new information, without tamping it down through dismissiveness or preconception. Believing in ourselves is being open to our own possibilities.

Does this make sense?

Hi I have a question.

How can having big dreams, being curious and beleving yourself – be aspects to “open to receiving”? I can’t understand. kindly explain.

Thanks

I really enjoyed the law of receptivity. I can relate this to trying to mentoring someone or being mentored myself. I must be willing to receive the knowledge they are sharing, or else they cannot give me the tools I need to succeed.

Thank you for all the terrific comments. I really enjoy the understanding that so many of our readers are sharing (giving) with us that receiving is indeed a part of the cycle.

Maile, if I may, regarding your comment,

“Again it is all about what we can give without expecting anything in return.”

While it might be just semantics on my part, I think it might be more accurate to say that we don’t have an “emotional attachment” to receiving, more than we don’t “expect” to receive. In other words, you’re not “attached” to receiving from this person or anyone else . . . but you expect that you will receive as a natural part of the process.

Does that make sense?

Thanks again for all the great comments!

This book is truly amazing! I was reminded of a friend who turned down an offer to become the beneficiary of his great aunt’s estate. I immediately called him to share this profound knowledge and to my surprise, he could hardly receive this information.

I also reflected on the many times I turned down money and other gifts, thinking I was doing a good deed by saving the other person a buck. I had no idea that I was breaking a universal law. This book gave me a new perspective on living a life of service while at the same time allowing others to serve by being open to receive. This book is a blessing that I graciously receive. Thank you!

I truly enoyed reading about all the laws of stratospheric success in the Go-Giver! The Law of Value has so much depth of meaning. Again it is all about what we can give without expecting anything in return.

The Go-Giver connects us all to what brings meaning into what we do everyday.

That fifth Law of Stratospheric Success provided me with a true “ah-ha” moment. Willingness to receive brings the whole go-giver concept full circle! It never actually occured to me before that without gracious receivers, generous givers would be thwarted. I love that this simple but profound book helped connect the dots.

How do I intend to act on this epiphany? Change my “No, thank you.” to just plain “Thank you!” And then pay it forward.
