A blessing does not come just from people.
Blessings are bigger than people. Bigger than us.
Blessings are also the way in which the universe manifest itself through our existance, through our presence here, which is the presence of life, which is the existance of the universe.
Blessings come also in the shape of gifts, we all are gifted to play a special role in lile, in this life.
When we do not hear our gifts and do not make them manifest themselves, when we do not hear our heart and follow it to play the role we are supposed to play to make this world a better world, then that becomes a curse.
If I, for example, love to cook, and I deny that becuase I wanna be a “succesufl” business person, I am denying my gift. This does not mean that I have to quit my business career (but can also mean that if that is what my heart tells me to) but to make sure I give space in my life to let my gift (blessing) to manifest. I may be meant to make people happy through food, and imapct the way they eat, etc, etc…
I will carry the rest of my life with the question, wondering “what if” in my past I had the courage to change my career… In that moment, I have not accepted my blessing and becomes a curse for the rest of my life, pushing me to hate what I do for a living, making my working days unbearable…
Just a bit more of sharing from my side, since I see that the comments are very much approaching blessings as those that come as “wishes” from other people.
As you can see I personally believe those are not blessings.
I don’t feel I can bless anyone else.
The only way I can bless is by accepting my blessings and make them work to make this place a better place.
Peace,

Thats true Agnieszka ..blessings Tania
A blessings is a blessing and a curse is a curse.
The one who sends a blessing is always full of God, the one who sends a curse is….far from God.

Your sayings are invaluable to me, thank you, thank you, thank you…..
A blessing is a blessing, and if it is intented for us, it needs to be received.
It will never go back to the origen. It has a purpose to fulfil, it is the reason of its existence as blessing itself.
That is why becomes a curse if it is not received, or even perceived!
That is why is important to get our “eyes” wide open to see all blessings that rain over our lives everyday and welcome them.
That is also “makes a world blind”.
Thank you to remind for the third time.
How can that be? Only if the sender of the blessing becomes vindicative and sends a curse?!
What I´ve learned is whenever anyone sends anything energetically, if it´s not received by the intended receiver, it´s simply returns to the sender.
