Written By: Jamie Meyer
Reflecting on the difference between ‘getting’ and ‘receiving,’ tour Founder considers how ‘getting’ often involves molding ourselves to fit others’ expectations, seeking validation or reward through meeting others’ criteria. ‘Receiving,’ by contrast, centers on aligning with our own values and letting growth and fulfillment come naturally from within. The metaphor of the 400-year-old Angel Oak Tree illustrates the power of growth determined by inner design rather than external approval, inviting readers to question their own approach to life and to consider how receiving aligns more deeply with genuine self-fulfillment.
