To receive, you must give. This is true for the Law of Attraction. To receive, you must give the universe some sort of instruction. You have to give it some thought or wish for the universe to hand over, but to receive fully, you have to give more than just thoughts.
When people give from their hearts and show great appreciation to the world around them, they find that their kindness is returned. It goes back to the fundamental belief of the Law of Attraction that what energy you give off you receive back. People who give from their heart find that others reciprocate.
They find their goodness rewarded with goodness from the universe. Likewise, people who face the world with a negative mindset and ugliness of heart will find nothing but adversity before them. Why? Because they received the negative energy they gave.
This is why it is important to be grateful and appreciative of the life you have and the world around you. By address others with a smile and happiness in your heart, you will find that you are in turn addressed with a smile and happiness.
This is why people who are heavily involved in philanthropic endeavors are not only peaceful and happy inside but find that they are surrounded by peaceful and happy individuals.
If you are peaceful and happy, the people surrounding you will be peaceful and happy. If you are negative and miserable, you will be surrounded with negative and miserable individuals.
Keeping a smile on your face and in your heart, you will find that happiness follows you. You can combat negative energy by chanting affirmations to yourself, such as ‘I feel happy. I feel healthy. I feel terrific’ or ‘I am surrounded by positivity and happiness at all times.’
Affirmations can keep your mind focused on your goal and help keep you giving so that you can receive all the wonderful things the universe has to offer you.
