For years, many of us sit on our talents. We create, we heal, we guide, and we pour energy into helping others, often for free. Sometimes we feel guilty even thinking about asking for compensation. “I don’t want to seem greedy,” we say. Or, “People might not understand the value of what I do.”
If this sounds familiar, know that you are not alone.
The Energy of Giving
When we share our gifts, whether it’s art, healing, advice, or readings, we are exchanging energy. Energy moves in cycles, and it thrives when there is balance. You give energy, and energy returns. That’s the natural law of exchange.
Yet so many of us struggle with asking for something in return. We undervalue our work, believing that if it’s free, it’s pure. But giving without receiving is not sustainable. Over time, it leads to burnout, resentment, and the quiet sense that our gifts don’t matter.
Receiving is Part of the Flow
Receiving payment, support, or acknowledgment doesn’t take away from the value of your work, it honors it. It allows you to continue giving, creating, and sharing without sacrificing your well-being.
Think of it this way: if someone comes to you for guidance or insight, and you spend hours preparing or giving energy, isn’t it fair to receive something in return? That exchange keeps the cycle alive. It’s even, it’s fair, and it’s necessary.
A Collective Reminder
For the collective: if you give energy, it’s okay to get something back. If you create, it’s okay to charge. If you heal, guide, or teach, it’s okay to be compensated. You’re not selfish. You’re not greedy. You’re honoring the value of your time, talent, and energy.
When we embrace this balance, we:
Maintain sustainable energy for long-term creation Build confidence in our gifts Teach others to respect our work Invite abundance into our lives
✨ Remember: Your gifts are valuable. Your time is valuable. Your energy is valuable. It’s not just okay to receive, it’s necessary. Suzette
