Why You May Not Be Receiving More Referrals

I am currently reading Jonathan Manske's great book titled "The Law of Attraction Made Simple". Now some of you may be thinking "hogwash!" over this book title or the main idea behind it. When I first started learning about this Law 2 years ago I was very skeptical too; but, I have come around and I have found a lot of value in this book.

One of the principles of this Law is that in order to get what you want (whatever it is), you have to be able to receive it. Let me explain. For many years I have seriously downplayed my own successes and compliments from others. I have had trouble accepting other's compliments of me I believe out of false humility. Just now I am finally learning to really appreciate their compliments and just say "thank you". Basically, I stunk at receiving compliments for the first 40 years of my life; thus I did not receive as many compliments as I wanted. I did not get what I want (compliments); because I did not receive them well out of my false humility.

Jonathan in his book notes that money is another form of compliment. By my dodging of compliments I was also dodging more money and more success from coming my way. WOW! Another reason to start receiving compliments more genuinely.

Next, Jonathan states that referrals are compliments as well. How many of you have on your business card or email stationary, these words, "Your referrals are the greatest compliment I can ever receive"? Do you really mean it? If you are like me and don't receive compliments well, then you are not going to receive many referrals either. Another WOW!

I will end with this quote from Marianne Williamson-"You are a child of God. Your playing small (not accepting compliments well) does not serve the world. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us."
