So now you're actually hurting the person. And you're blocking your abundance, probably. Correct. There's a lot of people, and I've learned this early on, someone's going to come to you and give you a compliment. If you say, no, no, no, no, no, no, please, that's not me, or you block it, you're actually hurting the person.

The greatest thing you can do when someone gives you a compliment is just say, thank you very much. Like, I really appreciate it. And after the compliment is made, don't let that feed that part of you that has the abandonment issue. The ego in you. The ego in you, or the lack in you, or the pain in you, or the thing that your mom didn't give you, your dad didn't give you.

So Kabbalah kind of goes into those murky places of the soul to clean it up, because then you can go around town, you can do everything without taking from the people, without using the people. You can just show up as a giver. But as long as you need the approval for whatever you haven't healed or corrected, there's always going to be an element of taking in your giving.

Because from the age of 15 when I learned Kabbalah, so I'm 40 now, from the age of 15 I learned Kabbalah. At the age of 19, I... I left school, I graduated school, and I went to full-time volunteering teaching. So from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., I met people one-on-one. And from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., I would give one or two seminars. And I was in a position of how do I just add value to the world?

And it was the most powerful thing I did, and I do that till today, except the last 10 years also I have a business. I was put in a mode of how do I just take care of every single person. You call me until I am, I'm picking up the phone. Anywhere I went, there was an opportunity to take care of somebody. Give, give, give, give.

And we are like, there's no one in the world I love more than her. No one in the world.

One of the things I've learned in relationships and in dating is I totally shut down the part of me that needed to learn what I wanted and what makes me happy. I found happiness in vicariously living through everyone else's success. It's part of why I was broke from 20 to 32. I didn't have a penny. I couldn't afford a wedding ring.

I found happiness in vicariously living through everyone else's success. It's part of why I was broke from 20 to 32. I didn't have a penny. I couldn't afford a wedding ring.
I had to buy a $100 plastic piece of wedding ring from Mary Ruth because we had no money. We were in debt. But part of it was my own belief system that I don't deserve to receive anything. I'm here for the public. I'm here for humanity. I'm here for whatever. And I was trained to think in Kabbalah. Here's the thing. Kabbalah taught me how to stop focusing on myself. I shouldn't be a giver.

But there's something else Kabbalah teaches which I totally ignored. Which is, I also need to... Receive, right? The word Kabbalah means to receive. Really? It comes from the Hebrew word l'kabel, which means to receive.
