If it's better to give than receive - who's doing the receiving?

For some, it's easy to give, to help others with open hands. But here’s the catch—receiving? That’s where some of us struggle. Why? Because admitting we need help feels vulnerable. It’s like holding up a sign saying, “I’m not perfect,” and for some reason, that feels uncomfortable.

But, *what if receiving is also a part of the plan?* When someone extends help, perhaps it’s not just their generosity at play—it’s about accepting that support graciously and recognizing the intention behind it. By saying “thank you,” you honor *them* and invite the cycle of giving to keep moving forward.

This portion of a great conversation with author and communications expert Heather Day revealed this not-often-talked about factor in being a more generous person.

So, here’s the challenge: Are you willing to let go of pride and receive a gift even when you know it reveals your needs?
