The Quickest Way to Get is to Give

by Carina MacInnes

It's true. You can't really get what you want in life until
you have given it to others. Doesn't sound like it makes
much sense, does it? How can you give what you don't have?
As you open your mind to the possibility and ask this
question of yourself, you allow opportunity to come to you
and knock at your door. Then you will find a way that it
is possible to give to others what you want, before
receiving it yourself.

It almost sounds like a chain letter and in a way it is.
The chain letter is a facetious reference as so many of us
have been exposed to them by now and know they are
illegitimate scams. Yet the basic principles are: you give
before you receive, and you give with the faith and
expectation of receiving. A similar modern example can be
seen in the film ‘Pay It Forward'. By giving to others,
you allow good things to happen to you. And this all boils
down to the simple law of attraction.

The law of attraction is like any other law of nature, like
gravity. And like gravity, it is not one that has been
generally ‘discovered' yet. As a result, most of us are
walking around thinking in a completely disordered
paradigm.

Disordered paradigms of thought are displayed over and over
in history, and discoveries of natural laws and
observations of reality have brought order to transform the
mistaken beliefs that had been accepted for fact. You can
think of many examples, such as the belief that the world
is flat, or the belief that we are at the center of the
universe. Or the great changes that resulted as a
discovery of the force of electricity and harnessing its
natural power.

In this same way, we are able to make a change in our own
disordered thought patterns. Right now 99% of us are
probably dissatisfied. Dissatisfaction means larger life
is seeking to be expressed through us, and it is being
blocked. Self-sabotage is a very real process working in
the invisible realms of the unconscious mind.

The good news is there are a lot of simple, small but
powerful techniques you can use to reprogram that all
powerful unconscious mind of yours, to order your own life
as you want it. Yes, there IS a way to eliminate the chaos
in your life, and it starts within. It starts by
eliminating the often unseen chaos in your own mind.

The technique in this article is only one of a vast array
that you can use on a daily basis to improve your life
dramatically. In this article you are learning how to use
the law of attraction to attract to yourself what you want.

The law of attraction, like gravity, is undefiable. You
will attract what you are sending out. Your thoughts are
real in the world of attraction.

If your mind is resonating with patterns of anxiety,
stress, anger, sadness, envy, grief, or any other negative
emotion, you will be attracting more of the same in your
life.

One step you can take to change this is to focus on giving
to others before you receive yourself. In this way you are
changing your vibration and your focus. And you open
yourself to receive what you had been closing off before.

It is very simple to give. Give of what you have, and
everyone has something to give. We all have innate value
to offer the world. An abiding philosophy in the law of
attraction is to always offer an increase in value, to give
back more in value than you receive in money. In this way
you continue to give more than you get and attract more and
larger life back to yourself.

Take a moment to look within and find something, anything,
no matter how small or simple, to give to anyone, friend or
stranger. Start the practice of giving, and you will take
one step towards raising your level of vibration and
enhancing the value of what you attract in your own life.
Give something selflessly today, knowing that you will
receive it multiplied back in your life, tenfold.
