Understanding the Fundamentals

Putting Forward a Value

If you desire Financial Success - you would have to PUT FORWARD energy in some forms and let universal subconsciousness transform the energy and return it to you in form of income stream – wealth energy. What is even Money? Money is any object that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a given country or socio-economic context. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange; a unit of account; a store of value; and, occasionally, a standard of deferred payment.

As you can see from the definition, money itself is a store of value or better still a medium of exchange – hence if you desire abundant of it, you need to work on your VALUE, you must develop/identify skills and value you can always exchange for money.

Lack of money is simple lack of ‘what to exchange’ for money or ‘value’. Remember before the advent of paper money – for example if you need yam, you will certainly need to exchange it for something, e.g. coconut (and vice versa) or you probably help the yam owner carry load of firewood from his farm to his hunt.

So let me ask you this question, if you want more load of yam what are you suppose to do? Think about it. Common sense suggests that you may need to increase your production of coconut or put more effort in carrying more firewood. I hope you get the drift.

When you engage yourself in work, you are actually exchanging a VALUE (your skill, knowledge, talent, time, etc) for VALUE in another form. Simply put you give the employer or customer satisfaction by solving a problem or meeting a needs – by putting to use your VALUE (energy, skill, capability, knowledge ,strength, time, etc) and you are rewarded with a VALUE (wealth energy, most of the time in form Satisfaction plus a bonus - money). When you give money (a form energy) unconditional to a needy (a deficient energy center) – you will likewise be reward by Satisfaction that give you inner energy that come with comfort and energy to do more with the feeling of tranquility with the universal – thus you receive Blessing and Favour from the Universe.

Your TIME, ENERGY, SKILL, KNOWLEDGE, PERSONALITY, TALENT, PASSION, etc are all VALUE you can exchange for other values you may desire. Putting forward values/energy comes in various form as GIVING, SACRIFISING OR SHARING – it is a known fact that business model built around creating value by serving or solving a particular problem is rewarded with great success.

Today, the business world is also very particular about Corporate Social Responsibility CSR– it is simple, a business that practice CSR, is more favour by the universal subconscious energy, thus, by extension the government and the society knowingly and unknowingly show such company support, patronage and acceptance – hence success.

Thus, anyhow you look at it, if you want the universe to align and show you favour in all aspect of your live – start – giving today. Give graciously and receive gratefully.

Grace and gratitude are the energizing factors of giving and receiving. You may give away your time, for example, and it comes back to you much later from an unexpected source in an unexpected form in a way that benefits you greatly.

You cannot insist on a particular way and time it will come back to you, but you can be assured it will come back in the best way for you.

Here is a likely scenario. Imagine a person who does not have much in material possessions to give and share with others. But this person is very charming and kind. The person gives a thousand compliments to people he or she comes across without even getting one compliment back. This person uplifts their mood and confidence by finding ways to encourage and compliment them. But this person never gets a compliment back from anybody. Well, not to worry. The Universe keeps its accounts perfectly. This person’s giving builds credit in the universal system.

One day, by the law of cause and effect, of giving and receiving, this person somehow gets the bicycle he or she has always wanted -just when the person needed it - in a way that looks like a miracle. It could be by winning some competition, or having it given to them by a stranger, or one of a countless other possibilities, what people call luck. That is how giving works. Sometime the Universe takes little things that you have, can give, and do give, and it puts them into one big thing that you do not have and require and it gives that to you at a perfect time.

All other things held constant, to the extent that an individual or society shares and gives in the right way, so will they have wealth and happiness.

From virtually all the scripture – it can be concluded that if you give ONE to a needy (energy deficient centre); you would get at least TEN back. Personally, I will tell you, Putting Forward or Giving – is the number one pillar in the foundation of my success story and that of most of the successful people I have learnt from. If you ever read the best-selling book about money: “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, where Robert Kiyosaki shares the things that poor parents do not teach their children, tithing (giving of 10%), is one of those things. Perhaps you should also read about a billionaire Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Airlines, just to discover that giving to charity is the cornerstone of his success as well. Perhaps I should also mention the famous forex investor George Soros, whose success is also founded on giving. Or how about the pioneer of high-yield mutual funds Sir John Marks Templeton, who says: “After helping hundreds of thousands of families with their investments, I have found no better investment than tithing. I myself have endeavored to donate, for every dollar I spend, ten dollars to causes that promote prosperity and spirituality.” Start giving 10% of your income today, and you will prosper. If you think that you can't afford to give 10%, think of it this way: if you had a business with a 50/50 partner, and the business only gave a profit of $5,000, but your personal bills were $3,500, you would still have to pay your partner $2,500 before paying your bills.

Similarly, give 10% of your pay check, even if your bills are higher. Life will work out without these 10%, it always does :-) Give only to people and charities that you have no personal relationship with. Helping relatives and friends is good, but it should be done outside of this initial tithe. Some Important Note about Giving (Putting Forward)

1. Give what you have of your – time, money, smiles, love, knowledge, skills, compliments, anything. And you will get back what you do not have on you.

2. Put forward or Give first before you receive. Whatever energy you give will come back to you in an amazing way.

3. What you wish to have, cause another to have. To have wealth and abundance cause another to have it.

4. The Universe itself is a giving Universe, for life is for giving. You give and you receive several fold – you actually are rewarded for your kindness.

The Source, Life, is all about giving, and the intelligence that runs the Universe honors your giving always, all ways. Give cheerfully! Everything in life is a gift. Especially with regard to wealth and happiness, never cease to cause others to have wealth and happiness, and you will have wealth and happiness in multiples!

Putting Aside a Value Now that you have started to “put forward” – the universe will show you favour, things will start to work for you, you will be more lucky and your life will improved generally in all sphere – financially, emotionally, relationship-wise, health-wise and spiritually. So it is time to save for the rain day.

If you desire success then you must practice Putting Aside some of today wealth for tomorrow. A wise man state: “if a man desire success, then he must Put Aside at least 10% of the total stream of income that he earn” – he explained that the human mind tend to be at rest and the harmony of the brain empower him to be able to take action that would continue to create wealth. After all, if you look all around us, the entire nature is one efficient system of taking, preserving, and giving back. Look at a tree...it first takes in nutrients and water from the Earth, it stores it in its trunk, and then uses the stored nutrients and water to grow leaves and bear fruit. Or a bear who eats as much as it can during summer, and uses all of its preserved fat during winter in order to survive. All of such things in nature program our subconscious mind to do the same: take, preserve, and give back, and if we don't do it, we live in disharmony with our own subconscious programming, and this disharmony makes it hard for us to succeed. Remember, in elementary science, we were told that there are basically two type of energy – Kinetic and Potential.

You stream of income is in the kinetic state, whereas the wealth you put aside (save) is in the potential state. What does this mean – the kinetic stream would most likely be burn out 80% of the time on expenses. It is the Potential wealth – that guarantee a continuous available of store energy that sustain the universal natural exchange cycle. Have you read one of the best selling books – The Richest Man in Babylon is a book by George Samuel Clason which dispenses financial advice through a collection of parables set in ancient Babylon. In chapter 3, the core of the book, we read about the 7 cure of lean purse: The very first Cure: “Start thy purse to fattening”. He stated that for every ten coins that you place within your purse, take out only for use but nine. George, explained that you must pay yourself first, by retaining 10% of your income in your purse, why you can only expend the rest.

However, here is my proposition, First; Give God atleast 10% , Second Pay yourself; Save at least 10% - and do all you can to make sure your expenditure stays within the remaining available resources.
