not so great as the receiver. I love doing things for other people and helping people out…but I’m horrible at letting other people do things for me. I’m so stubborn about that, I don’t know why…I guess it’s because the idea of it being better to give than receive was drilled into my head my entire life…so I feel guilty if I’m not the one giving…when in reality…by definition, for someone to give someone has to receive…so if it’s more blessed to give than receive, if I’m not ever willing to recieve then I am cheating someone who wants to give out of the opportunity.
remember that sometimes the best thing you can give someone is to let them give something to you. (read all 2 entries…)
I'm great as the giver...

Accepting graciously
It’s an art. A good one to master. Remember how you feel when you give and it’s not received graciously?
It’s paradoxical, but by receiving something well, you are actually giving the other person a very positive experience and a chance to be your peer. Valuable stuff!
