Act 5 - Share Your Success

      You need to Share Your Success when:

        1)  You feel you can't afford to give or you have difficulty receiving.
        2)  Unexpected shortages keep occurring in your life.
        3)  Your life isn't prosperous in all areas.
        4)  You have a fear of being parted from someone or something.
        5)  You don't have enough money to meet your current dreams or expenses.
        6)  You find yourself searching endlessly for "get-rich-quick" schemes.
        7)  You feel you are dependent on someone or something outside of yourself for your survival.
        8)  You have negative judgments about people who do give.
        9)  You think giving is a scam to get someone or something from you.
      10)  You cheat on your tax returns.
      11)  Your major financial investment is buying a lottery ticket.
      12)  You feel desperate in any area of your life.
      13)  You can't manifest everything you want instantly.
      14)  You don't believe or don't know that Life works for everyone.

      There is nothing outside of you, no force outside yourself, that could ever or would ever punish you for not giving or for not receiving.  Every time you declare that you don't have enough of any form of your life energy to be able to give freely of it or that never enough of it is coming your way, you are already punishing yourself by reinforcing your faith in lack, limitation and luck with the power of your own words and the actions that you take to prove yourself right.

      Fear is the greatest Block there is to Total Success.  Fear is the physical result that you create in your body every time you focus on lack by thinking a thought of lack.  The next time you experience fear, notice the thought you had just before the fear response.  Since every emotion is preceded by a thought, you'll discover that you were thinking there was not enough of something at that moment, such as not enough time, not enough love, not enough money, not enough health or not enough security.  With this awareness you can change your thought.  Since the thought of lack creates the fear or powerless response, then the thought of abundance creates the confident or powerful response.  But when you're overwhelmed by fear, just saying, "I feel abundant," or, "I am totally supported by Life," (Positive Thinking) is not enough.

      One of the most powerful ways to change your thought is to take action which supports the new thought you wish to create:  nothing impresses your subconscious mind like action.  In fact, Act 4 described in detail how to Take Empowering Action directed specifically toward your goals.
      However, what do you act on at the moment of fear?  Did you notice that, whenever you feel fear around the lack of anything, another emotion, called desperation, accompanies it.  And when you feel desperate, you want to protect yourself by clinging very tightly to what little you think you have:  there might never be any more.  Therefore, you might keep yourself in a relationship that doesn't serve you because you fear there is so little love available:  if you let go of this person, no one else might ever come your way again.  Or you might keep yourself in a job that you don't like or that doesn't pay you the way you'd like to be paid:  there are so few job opportunities and so little money in circulation that, if you let go of this security, you might never again have any more.
      Whatever form your fear takes, anything that pushes your emotional buttons is in charge of you and you cannot master anything that has you mastered.  When something is your master, you serve it instead of it serving you.  If, for example, you have a fear of being parted from your money because you think you don't have enough, then money is your master.  Most of us want to be money masters, yet we have great fear concerning money:  it's a highly charged emotional issue.  Some people fear being parted from their money because they feel they don't have enough.  Others fear they will not be able to keep their money although they seem to have an abundance of it.
      When money is your master, you serve the money; the money doesn't serve you.  This is why so many people say, "I have to go to work tomorrow," or, "I'm on a fixed income," or, "I thought being rich would be fun, but I spend much of my time worrying about where to invest, how to keep Uncle Sam from getting my money and who my real friends are."  None of these people are money masters.

      To reverse the situation, you must first master yourself.  The fastest way to master yourself and experience a feeling of support in every area of your life is to give abundantly and freely of that which masters you.
      The fastest way to become a money master is to give money freely because the action of giving impresses upon your subconscious mind, as only action can, that as you choose to freely give, whatever is leaving your hand is already coming back to you multiplied.  Your life energy is in circulation.  Life supports you and you always prove yourself right based on your beliefs and your actions which support your beliefs.
      It must be given freely or it is an attempt to buy, to control or to manipulate a person or a situation.  Not giving it freely is also a very powerful action that gives your subconscious mind the message that, "Life doesn't support me.  I've got to try to bribe it."  Acting as if there is a shortage brings your full creative power to bear on manifesting a shortage and you are that powerful!  Therefore, the greater your fear of separation from that particular form of your life energy, the greater your need to give freely of it to impress upon your subconscious mind that, for you, there is no shortage of anything anywhere in the Universe.

      Sharing Your Success is the action that removes the energy Blocks you have created with your fear.  Sharing Your Success is a clear statement that you believe there is enough of everything in Life for you to give freely and have an abundant return.
      Sharing Your Success is not just about money; it is about faith directed toward success in all areas of your life.  Therefore, this universal principle applies to all forms of your life energy.  And your life energy is represented by your time, your love, your money, your possessions, your knowledge, your skills, your talents, your thanks, your relationships, your body and more.

      Sharing Your Success is known as the Law of Circulation.  In circulation, there is a continuous flow:  there's an outflow followed by an inflow; if not, the condition is called stagnation.  We can see this principle in all aspects of life.  Anyone observing peak traffic times in any major city knows how circulation is blocked at any point when one car is stalled.  It's also apparent in your physical body before and after a massage.
      One very familiar, and practical, example of the abundant return that comes from giving is what happens when you give love rather than "waiting for love."  The first experience you have is one of feeling love in your body.  Also, to give love, you must have someone to give love to, so you attract or seek people who are willing to receive love.  And finally, people who like to receive love also like to give love; hence, the multiplied return.  Similar results occur when you share your time, invest your money and give to your education.
      Note that, for someone to give, there must be someone to receive.  That someone who receives could be you, so be open to receive when someone else is ready to give.  You certainly cannot complain that you do not receive if you say, "Oh, that's OK; I don't need anything!" when someone tries to give to you.
      Of course, we are all familiar with one of the devastating effects of keeping our money out of circulation:  we have a recession or, even worse, a depression.  A local, national or global focus on fear (faith in lack) "prevents" us from investing our money in new products and services and we have a self-fulfilling and growing negative experience.

      Sharing Your Success is also known as the Law of Cause and Effect.  We all know the truth of the cliches, "What goes around comes around," and, "As you sow, so you reap."  When you give nothing, you cause the effect of nothing to return to you.  Some people give, but they give grudgingly.  Time after time I have heard these people complain that nothing ever comes their way but woe.  What they fail to notice is that their abundance of woe is the effect of an abundant return in their lives caused by the negative energy and focus which accompanied their giving.
      A great example of the Law of Cause and Effect is that of the farmer who returns the first and best seed from the harvest back into the soil to be in the flow of a replenishing abundance.  The Earth doesn't need the farmer's seed:  we didn't plant most of what's growing on this planet.  It's the farmers choice, though, to reap the benefits of the Earth by planting the first and best seed from the crop.  And the farmer states the way in which the Earth returns its abundance by the nature of the seed planted.  If you want petunias, don't plant onion seeds.  This is why, whenever you give, the nature of your intention is as important as how much or what you give.
      The example of the farmer also demonstrates that the Universe has a natural physiological and biological multiplied return:  that is, more seeds are produced than planted, otherwise all life would have vanished from the Earth long ago.

      Sharing Your Success is known as Tithing in a religious context.  The word tithe means "one tenth."  The traditional definition of a tithe is the giving of the first tenth, or 10%, of everything you receive to the person, the place or the institution where you are spiritually nourished for the purpose of acknowledging God as your source and as a means of increasing your abundance tenfold.  Tithing impresses on your subconscious mind, as only action can, that you are totally supported by Life.

      Sharing Your Success is also recognized by successful corporations (and organizations) as a powerful means of giving back to the sources of their success.  Often described in their "Corporate Objectives," companies encourage the use of corporate and employee resources to create a better life for everyone in the nations and communities were they do business.

      Many of the same questions continue to arise regarding Sharing Your Success.  Here are the questions, and the answers too.

      Question:  "Where am I to give?"
      Answer:  Give to where you receive empowering messages about Life working for everyone.  The beauty of this concept is that it requires you to focus on where you are being empowered to prosper.  Give to authors of uplifting books.  Give to positive and empowering organizations that are helping to raise the consciousness of the Planet.  Give to any person, place or institution that reminds you that Life works for everyone.
      A lot of people have time issues.  However, I see them freely giving their time to such events as the news programs and talk shows which dramatize one story after another about how a few people use their creative power to create less value instead of more value for themselves.  These stories impress upon our subconscious minds with all those repetitions that, no matter how positively we approach life, we are really victims after all.  Where do you give your time as well as other aspects of your life energy?  Do you like the return you are receiving?

      Question:  "What am I to give?"
      Answer:  Give whatever you want more of in your life, such as time, love or money, because what goes around comes around.

      Question:  "How much am I to give?"
      Answer:  Any question about the amount to be given is really about the fear of not having enough if you give too much or of being punished if you don't give enough.  You are the only one who determines what you receive and you do that by determining what you give.  Give freely and generously and you receive freely and generously.
      There is a multiplication factor involved in all of life.  Plant your best seed and you receive an abundant return.  Plant your worst seed and you won't like the harvest.  Plant no seed and there is no harvest.  The important thing to remember is that each time you give, the amount, the form and the recipient(s) may change, so consult your Inner Guidance for what is appropriate and empowering each time you give.

      Question:  "Can I receive from others?"
      Answer:  Yes, every entity must learn to receive as well as to give.  The beauty of this concept is that, to receive the good things in life, you must focus on empowering yourself and others to prosper because what goes around comes around.  You already know what happens when you complain:  complaints waste no time coming back to you multiplied.  Make sure what you give represents what you want to have reflected back to you multiplied because it does come back to you very quickly.
      You also receive whenever you are providing valuable products and services to other people and you automatically "receive" when you are providing an empowering example of how to live life fully in the present moment.

      Question:  "Can I expect a return when I give?"
      Answer:  Absolutely, yes; this is a Law!  However, you cannot expect to manipulate the way in which your good comes to you.  For example, if I do you a favor, I cannot expect a return from you.  That is, I cannot expect that you owe me something.  I may receive from you, but I cannot expect to receive from you.  People who manipulate are doing so because they fear that Life doesn't support them.  They have to try to bribe Life.  Either way you prove yourself right.  One way is much more fun (and a lot less exhausting) than the other, however.

      Question:  "What if my partner controls our money and won't let me give?"
      Answer:  This question also pertains to every other form of partnership in addition to money, such as time and friends.  If your partner controls your money and you have no say about it, you do not have a partnership around money.  The real question is, "Is this the kind of relationship I want to have concerning money?"  The choice is always yours:  no one, except you, can get in your way.  Here's some food for thought:  if your partner won't let you give, will your partner let you receive?

      Question:  "I feel guilty wanting so much when there are so many needy people in the world.  If I ask for too much, won't I deprive someone else?"
      Answer:  No!  Just as you cannot outgive an inexhaustible Universe, you cannot outreceive an inexhaustible Universe.  This question is often based on the fear that everyone wants the same thing that you do.  We don't.  But if we did, we'd all have one and there would be more to spare.  What's limited is our thinking and what we really expend is our live energy.  Although we may not be certain how many years we will live, I can assure you that you have twenty-four hours in your day just like everyone else.  What are you doing with your twenty-four hours?

      Question:  "I contribute to the needy.  Can I expect a return?"
      Answer:  Absolutely, YES!  Nurture (focus on) need and expect need to grow in your life!  There really are no victims on this planet.  We create everything with the thoughts we choose to hold about life and the actions we take on these thoughts.  Continuing to take care of so-called victims without teaching them prosperity principles is called co-dependent behavior.  Co-dependent behavior and victim behavior go hand in hand.  If you're doing one, you're doing the other.
      You exhibit co-dependent behavior every time you think you know better what another person should do with his/her life above and beyond what his/her own Inner Guidance tells him/her to do.  That's called taking responsibility for another person's life.
      You exhibit victim behavior every time you allow someone else to tell you what you should do with your life above and beyond what your own Inner Guidance tells you to do.  That's called not taking responsibility for your own life.
      To clean it up instantly, you Honor Your Inner Guidance and you empower and allow each person to Honor His/Her Inner Guidance.
      To put this issue in a very practical perspective, if you believe that any other person is a victim, then you have to believe that you are also a victim in some area of your own life where you are not getting the kind of results you'd like to have.  And, if you believe you are a victim, then act like a victim, you will get the results due a victim.  We are all responsible for the choices we make and how we respond to Life.
      In any event, your Inner Guidance will tell you when to give, to whom or what to give, what form of your life energy to give and how much of your life energy to give.

      Question:  "Do I have to believe in this principle for it to work?"
      Answer:  No!  You cannot believe in anything before you experience it yourself.  And you cannot experience anything unless you actually participate in it.  You may have been told you just don't have enough faith; it's probably true!  However, you can generate faith by creating experiments which demonstrate faith.  In other words, design experiments which test the concept of faith:  whatever you focus on is what you experience more of in your life.

      The first way to prove faith and the most important area of Sharing Your Success is to give whatever you are here to give.  Each person has many particular gifts and talents to share with the rest of us.  In other words, you must Live Your Purpose and, as you do, everyone benefits.  In all cases, you are sharing your life energy:  that's all you have and that's all you can give.

EXERCISE 32:  Live Your Purpose

      As you use the instant SUCCESS Program, you get positive results very quickly.  You need to keep track of just how powerful you are, gathering evidence that this process, and Life itself, works.  You are always gathering evidence anyway, much of it that Life doesn't support you; you might just as well gather evidence that Life supports you.

      It is certainly important to be thankful for all you have received.  Remember to be thankful for all the general support available to you every day from our Earth and its billions of people.  I travel often and I am still amazed how many resources are available to me (and everyone else!) and many are even free.  I feel and can live like a king (without feeding and housing all those servants)!
      There are millions of miles of highways and thousands of airports and seaports designed, built and maintained by people I'll never meet.  And I can obtain fuel whenever I need without ever drilling a hole in the Earth.  And I can stop for food any time day or night at my convenience.  And I can make copies twenty-four hours a day, even full-color copies.  And I can instantly communicate with anyone anywhere in the world.  And I can live anywhere and create any life style I desire.  And free libraries and information services provide access to anything that has ever been discovered.  And I don't even have to work, whether I am financially independent or I am cared for by vast government programs.
      And, I am eternally grateful for all the known and unknown people who have come before me and have supercharged the Cosmic Bank of Consciousness as well as given their life energy and lives to provide all the resources around me that makes life on this planet truly enjoyable.
      I truly have reason to be thankful!  Thank You!  And you truly have reason to be thankful too!

      Gather evidence that Life supports you by writing it on a sheet of paper called your Success Log.  This is actually an important way to Share Your Success with yourself.  From now on (as well as from previously in your life) each time you manifest, create value in your life or receive any positive or empowering result, whether you wrote your desire on paper or not, log your success and the date on which you received it.  For example, write, "I, (your name), am thankful for receiving (your success) on (date)."

EXERCISE 33:  begin your Success Log by writing your first five successes

      Before sleeping, upon waking and whenever you feel like a victim, your list of successes reminds you of the positive values you have experienced from the positive choices you have made.  Any day you feel like a victim, as though life is not supporting you, like your luck ran out or you're "having one of those days" or like the shag in the carpet is taller than you are, read this page.  It will knock you off your "victim stance" and put a smile back on your face, reminding you that you are a very powerful entity fully supported by Life right now.
      You only need to read a few of your successes before you get a grin on your face because you remember how powerful you are, how supported you are by Life and how much you have learned to direct your faith into Total Success, instead of lack and limitation, in such a short time span.  So keep track of your successes.  In other words, accumulate proof that Life supports you in particular!

      Weekly, I would like you to reflect back to the world the new state of Total Success you are experiencing.  Write out in detail one of your many successes that you have listed on your Success Log, then share it with at least four other people.  Share your success story with thousands of people.  Particularly, recall an experience for which you had no idea HOW it could ever happen, but it did!
      This important exercise keeps your success stories from taking on a dream-like quality and inspires others to improve their lives.  By sharing it with others, since we are mirrors for each other, you call attention to their power.  The one story you share with another person might be the one story that person needs to hear in order to think, "I can change my life too."  Often the people around you have the same problems you do, so you can be an important role model and a great teacher as you solve your problems.  So spread your success stories around.

EXERCISE 34:  if you have a weekly Success Story since beginning this Book, write it out in detail and share it with at least four other people

      I, Brian West, look forward to your stories too.  If you send some pictures, I will copy them and return the originals.  Thank You in advance!

      We spend much of our day on automatic pilot, operating out of habit, exchanging our life energy in its many forms based on the thoughts we have in our subconscious minds.  Some of these thoughts serve us and some don't.  But whatever we give to the Universe is still coming back to us multiplied.  And then we wonder, "Where is all of this negative stuff coming from?"  Well, we're growing it.  The only sane and fun thing to do is to take yourself off automatic pilot, keep yourself fully present and give from the only place you truly can freely give or exchange your life energy, your Inner Guidance, your place of personal power.
      From the time you were born to the present, you have been empowered to prosper by many people, places and institutions along the way.  Some you thanked at the time and some you didn't.  If you didn't, you have some energy on that unfinished business which is drawing your focus, your attention, away from the present moment which is the only time there really is.
      Weekly, I would like you to consult your Inner Guidance and let it spontaneously call to mind just one of the many people, places and institutions that have empowered you along the way.  And let your Inner Guidance also call to mind the way in which you would like to say Thank You to that entity.  Then, on a piece of paper, you will write the agreement that you make with yourself regarding how you will thank that entity.
      Of course, the area of your life where you MOST NEED to give is usually the area where you have the most fear of lack in your life, the area where you are feeling most Stuck.  And the area of your life where you LEAST WANT to give is usually the area where you most need to give, the area where you have the largest Block.
      Your agreement might be as simple as, "This evening, I'm going to write that Thank You letter that I've had on my mind for some time now."  Or, "When I wake up tomorrow, I'm going to call my favorite organization and arrange to donate some of my time because it's done so much for me."  Or, "I will send the author of my favorite book some money beyond the purchase price of the book because I have been so empowered by the book."  And, giving may be as simple and as important as a smile or some kind words.  Whatever it is, I trust your Inner Guidance to call it to mind now and for you to record it.

EXERCISE 35:  write your first weekly Giving Agreement

      How do you feel about the agreement that you just made between yourself and your own Inner Guidance?  That good feeling is how you know you're in alignment with your Inner Guidance on Sharing Your Success.  You may feel a sense of satisfaction coupled with completion.  You may feel physically and emotionally light, powerful and centered.  The thought of your gift may put a smile on your face.  You will love what is coming back to you.  It's that simple.
      Now, if you're thinking, "Oh no, another chore to perform," that negative feeling is your clue that you're not yet in alignment with your Inner Guidance.  Don't put this negative energy out there; you've already got enough chore in your life and you don't need any more.  Instead, slow down, have another consultation with your Inner Guidance, then act accordingly and you will love what comes back to you multiplied every time.
      Take Empowering Action to complete your agreement immediately.  Write a note to your recipient, explaining what you are doing so that person, place or institution will also be encouraged to practice this great universal principle of Sharing Your Success.

EXERCISE 36:  complete your first weekly Giving Agreement immediately

      If you have any resistance to giving what your Inner Guidance says, you must Eliminate Your Blocks to Sharing Your Success, and you learned how to do this in Act 3.  This assures that not only can you actually give in this area of your life but also the energy you send out is not one of desperation or manipulation of the Universe, but one of feeling totally supported by Life.

      Also, if you would like to give money, for example, and the area of your life where you most need success is financial, write an agreement with yourself regarding when you will give the money.  Remain in integrity with your Inner Guidance at all times!
