Now listen, I ain’t gon’ lie to you — I grew up in a place where softness got you roasted, robbed, or run over. We didn’t have time for “relax and receive” when the light bill was past due and the corner store was our Whole Foods. Life trained us to be hard. Real hard. Like, “don’t breathe too loud on the bus” hard. So when somebody told me that to truly receive from the universe, I had to soften… I was like, “Oh, you want me to what now?”
But lemme tell you what I’ve learned — real blessings don’t show up just ‘cause you out here grinding 25/8 and manifesting like a drill sergeant. Nah. The universe don’t respond to all that clenched-up energy. You ever tried to catch rain with a closed fist? Exactly. You gotta open up, baby.
Receiving is Feminine Energy Work — Not Hustle Olympics
See, masculine energy is about doing, building, pushing. It’s the to-do list, the deadlines, the “lemme email this person one more time just to check in.” That’s all cool and necessary — we need structure. But if you stuck in that mode all the time, constantly trying to force your blessings into existence, you gon’ burn out and still feel like you chasing something.
Feminine energy? Oh, that’s that good-good. That’s intuition. That’s flow. That’s trusting that just because you don’t see the outcome yet, don’t mean it ain’t on the way. It’s lighting a candle, playing Erykah Badu, sipping your tea like “I know it’s coming, so I’m gon’ chill.” It’s not lazy. It’s magnetic. The universe loves that. It’s like, “Ooooh, she finally sat down and got cute. Let me drop this bag in her lap real quick.”
Being Uptight Is a Repellent, Not a Requirement
Look, I used to be tight. Like, jaw clenching, shoulders in my ears, overthinking everything, watching my tracking number like it was a soap opera. And every time I tried to force something into being, it backfired. Either it took 10x longer, or I got exactly what I thought I wanted and hated it. But the moment I learned to ease into trust — to expect good without micromanaging how it shows up — the blessings hit different.
The check came early. The opportunity I forgot I applied for popped up. Somebody I thought curved me came back with sense. Why? ‘Cause I stopped being all “lemme control the outcome” and started being “lemme allow the outcome.”
So Here’s the Real Tea…
If you really wanna receive? You gotta let your inner soft girl breathe. Not the Instagram aesthetic (though, do that too if it brings you joy) — I’m talkin’ the soft, trusting part of you that believes you are worthy without performing. The you that knows alignment is louder than effort. The you that prays, meditates, journals, and then naps ’cause you ain’t gon’ block your blessings with burnout.
Now I got one question for you…
What’s really stopping you from softening, trusting, and receiving the way the universe been trying to bless you?
