The Gift

If someone offers you a gift, and you decide not to accept it, whose gift does it then become?

The answer is the giver of the gift retains possession.

The same goes for insults, rude comments, criticism and manipulation. So if you refuse to accept their gifts, the abuse stays right with them. Know that you do not have to accept gifts of this kind, and in fact those that are trying to give them to you deserve to get them returned, even without a receipt.

Yet even gifts with positive intent can bear treacherous content under their attractive wrapper.
Politicians run into this all the time. Campaign dollars come from those expected some manner of return for the gifts they bestow. Similarly, an expense paid trip to Disney of the Bahamas may be an attractive gift indeed, but if in return your parents of in laws expect to be able to drop by anytime, name your first born, or tell you what friends you should be hanging out with, you need to reconsider the Bahama Hook.

Yet we continue to feel obliged to accept all gifts, and feel indebted to comply with future demands. Demands that in our mind may exceed the value of the initial gift. The result is a departure from being true to ourselves.

Trust me, soon enough you will be able to manifest all gifts that you desire on your own, and probably quicker and with less mental wrapping paper than if you accept the manipulative gift giving event.
