Ever receive a surprise gift, or last minute invitation to a party or event? How do you respond? For me I immediately think WOW! and say, “Thank you so much for thinking of me!”
I liken a surprise gift to walking in a forest and discovering a sparkling stream or waterfall. Or a waiter surprising you with a complimentary desert. Or an event when someone hands you a copy of their book. This happened to me personally at a retreat when the host gave me a copy of his exquisite book Living Ecstasy.
Do you know what’s really interesting?…I’ve noticed the gifts I’ve received over the years have nearly always been exactly what I wanted or needed in that precise moment in my life. A subliminal surprise tucked inside a gift.
Now imagine being on the other side of the transaction. You are the giver. Imagine you are the stream, or the waiter, or the author. How do you feel?
Giving and receiving is reciprocal. Like in nature, one doesn’t exist without the other. Humans are designed for both. I believe the ‘art of reciprocity’ is foundational to living peacefully as loving human beings. Every human on the planet is the source of living peacefully. Which means, YOU are the source of living peacefully.
Today is International Day of Peace. Why not make giving and receiving your intention today and enjoy the pureness, joy and peace of living in the art of reciprocity. Let the surprise of subliminality flow back and forth.
