for love or money

According to Adam Khoo's 'Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires', there is a long list of common negative associations about money that prevent people from truly becoming rich. It is these subconscious beliefs that cause them to repel money and prevent them from becoming wealthy without even realising it.

Below are several examples, just to name a few:

1) Money is the 'root of all evil'
2) To get rich, you must be lucky, dishonest or really smart
3) Money will not buy you happiness
4) If I have more money, I will have more worries and problems
5) Rich people are stingy

If one applies the same theory to love, you will realise that there are people around you that find reasons not to fall in love. Or simply refuse to show their true emotions to the ones they adore.

Sometimes people do hold back for fear of rejection. They become too judgmental of oneself and others as they form unwritten criteria that eventually shape their perceptions. They are actually finding excuses to turn away, questioning the possibility of any result.

Is love going to last? Are the circumstances right? But we seem so different, are we meant to be?

It is in the subconscious that prevents them from truly loving. And then there are those who are afraid of getting hurt, held back by their past.

In Low Kay Hwa's book 'I believe you', there is this one line that made a lot of sense. In love, either you love or you don't. You don't hold back your feelings. Because if you do, you will never get to embrace its true meaning.
