About Receive Your Life

What this is not

Receive Your Life is not a church, denomination, or particular spiritual tradition. Nor is it another way to improve yourself or become who you think you should be. It is not about looking to the world to tell you who to be, what to want, or what will make your life worthwhile. And it is not about following someone else's formula for a successful or spiritual life.

Most of us have already spent years doing some version of that. We compare, achieve, improve, control, and look outside ourselves for confirmation that we're getting life right. We have been taught that if we can get enough of the pieces in place, we will finally have what we're looking for.

Receive Your Life begins with the possibility that we may have the order backwards.

What this is

Receive Your Life points to a natural order for living. It redirects our attention to the way Life actually flows — from Source, received and lived through each one of us. We listen to Source and respond, allowing our Life to unfold in its own unique expression.

Receiving is coming into harmony with the Life that is already here. It is not passive. It allows us to stop fighting against ourselves and live the Life that is ours to live.

The Life That Is Yours

A plant does not grow itself. We dig the hole, feed the soil, water the roots, and tend what has been planted. That is real and necessary work. But we do not cause the growth.

Life works in much the same way. There is a part that belongs to Source and a part that belongs to us. Much of our struggle comes from confusing the two — taking on what was never ours to carry while overlooking the value of what actually is ours to do.

Judgment and comparison are two of the ways we lose touch with the Life that is ours to live. They pull our attention away from our own flow of Life and toward someone else's. Imagine an orange tree looking at a rose bush and wondering, "Why am I not beautiful like that?" At the same time, the rose bush might look at the orange tree and wonder, "Why can't I produce fruit like that?"

Neither one is lacking. Neither one needs to become the other. Each receives Life and expresses it according to its own nature.

We are no different. We are each a unique expression of Source. Our part is not to become someone else, but to receive and live the Life that is ours to live. Receive Your Life is an invitation back to that clarity.
