This law must be followed before you can have any chance of successfully using the Law of Attraction. The Law of Receiving is really the first fundamental law of creation and it says "give first then receive". It is explained beautifully by this quote from the New Testament, "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over."

If we dissect this quote we see that first you must give before you receive. It does not say first receive and then give from what you have received. No, first give, even if you think you haven't anything to give. In fact if you try to receive before you have given you close the door to receiving.

That's right, if you try to take from life's abundance before you have contributed to it you get nothing. Think of it like a savings account that pays an incredible rate of interest. As long as you keep paying into the account it will pay you interest and dividends that far out weigh what you have given. However, if you stop giving and continue to withdraw you exhaust the account and there will be nothing to draw upon.

You don't have any money to give? It doesn't say you have to give money. Give your time, your creativity, and intelligence. Freely give your love and encouragement to others. Give people your prayers and positive thoughts. And one day when you do have money you will give part of that also.

Make giving a part of your life. Let it become part of who you are. You wouldn't try to live without breathing, would you? Of course not. To do so would put an end to your physical life. So it is with giving. To stop giving is to put an end to your spiritual life and separates you from the abundance our creator placed at your disposal.

Make a decision to start today. When you share your happiness with others it will increase your happiness. It's the same with love, creativity, intelligence, and yes even money. Give until you can't stand the pleasure anymore. (Think about that one for a moment;-)

I firmly believe we are each put on this earth with the responsibility to make it a better place before we leave. Volunteer your time to worthwhile organizations. Help your family and friends. Share a smile with a stranger. It all helps to make the world a better place.

One word of caution. Be careful of where and to whom you give. If someone rejects your gift, brush the dust from your feet and find someone else to give it to. If someone takes your gift and wastes it, give it to someone who will put it to better use.

If you give money to a friend to buy food to feed his family and he instead buys drugs to satisfy his habit then you have wasted your gift. Nothing good will come from this. Instead give him your prayers and give his wife a loaf of bread. 

Remember then, prepare yourself to receive by giving freely and often. To do so will allow the Law of Attraction to work in your life.
