5 Things people do that keep them from receiving their blessings

Picking fun of other people

Doing so is tantamount to rejecting someone or some part of who they are. However, we are all interconnected and are capable of falling short of who we think we are or who we would like to be. Ever find yourself wondering how someone could do such a thing? Your higher power could very well grant you the opportunity to find out. So next time someone does something that irks you, make a mental note not to behave in the same way. But, resist the urge to put them down. Besides, they could have very good reasons for being the way they are.

Being pessimistic

You probably know one of these people, unfortunately. They never have anything positive to say. When people ask them who they are, they can never really come up with anything wonderful or unique to say. If you haven’t taken the time to discover your own good qualities, why should anyone else. Thus these people miss out on new opportunities such as the chance to make new friends or receive their dream job. When things appear to be going their way, they continue to dwell on the calamities that they expect to come to pass. And, this is even if the worst never happens. However, many times they manage to stay afloat. But magnificent blessings always seem to elude them.

Procrastinating

Many people have been guilty of letting opportunities go by as they come up with one excuse or another for not handling their business. To their dismay, when they feel they are ready to move forward the opportunity is gone. First ask yourself if you welcome the opportunity to get what you want or need or if you are afraid to succeed. Just remember that you may never get the opportunity again.

Not letting go

Sometimes we have to give up on something in order to get something else. The good news is that when your higher power takes something away from us, he replaces it with something even better. Choosing not to relinquish those things or people who are no longer right for us can only leave us in limbo.

Being dishonest

This is akin to a new driver behind a steering wheel. The ride is never smooth. The driver struggles to stay within the lines, afraid to stop, but afraid to move forward. However, to their delight the ride gets a lot easier---only to sometimes find that they have run into a dead end road. When people are unable to tell the truth about what they want or need, they always have a desire to do something other than what they are already doing. It is not the same as the grass appearing greener on the other side---they can’t shake the feeling that something is severely missing form their life. They can’t move forward, but they can’t continue doing what they have been doing either. The result is confusion and inner turmoil. Only and only when they can admit the truth about what they want can they begin to find true happiness.
