The law of attraction basically states that if you give something then you will receive this thing in life. For example if I want to be successful then I should help others to succeed, if I want to make money I should give money to others, if I want to be happy I should try to make others happy and finally if I want to be loved then I should love others.

Here is the important thing though, the emotion and attitude you have when you give something is more important than the thing that you give and the action of giving. I know it sounds a bit crass but it really is the thought that counts. It is like when you tell a child that giving is more important that receiving, if only we could all follow our own advice in this respect.

So what is the attitude we need for the law of attraction to work for us? It is selflessness and pureness of heart. So here are some tips for making the law of attraction work for you.

1. Act of Giving: we should give with an open heart and take pleasure in the act of giving, most important we should give without expecting anything for ourselves

2. Helping Others: we should extend are help to others who are in need unconditionally

3. Forgiveness: we should forgive others without being asked for forgiveness, we should also be prepared to forgive ourselves.

4. Attention: we should always listen and pay attention to others particularly those closest to us

5. Love: we should always love selflessly without expecting anything for ourselves

6. What we ask for ourselves: that we may follow our true path in life whatever that may be

In the end we often cannot be sure what our path in life may be but if we lead a selfless life and are pure of heart, we will be successful because we will be happy and fulfilled.

I am a husband, and father of one son who works as an engineer. I became involved in writing articles about self improvement and positive attitude as part of a process of developing a more positive attitude to life myself.

I am committed to making my thoughts freely available to anybody who takes interest in reading my articles in the hope that they can similarly make their attitude more positive.

For anybody who is interested in improving their attitude to life and would like to see more of my articles or simply wants some advice on how they can feel better about themselves please contact me at simonmaya(at)yahoo.com I am also interested in any feedback about whether my articles are providing a positive benefit and if there is any interest in my developing a web site as a forum for my ideas.
