I am tired of hearing about all the New Age crap circulating around the Internet. Self-help gurus, spiritual advisers, and life coaches are stating that it is better to give, than to receive. Everyone thinks that they get more by giving more, but that is a fallacy. People just tell you that, so they can take your money.
The whole obsession with attracting abundance into your life is a fallacy. People just say that to sell books and to fill seats in workshops and conference centers. Most of us are never going to have an abundance of money. Because abundance is not really about money, it's about love. Sadly, our approach to love is the same as our approach to money. We just can't get enough of it.
Somewhere along the way, the concept of abundance being about money and not love was lost. Maybe it happened when the barter system crashed, and people started to use money as currency for trade. This is perhaps when the love for money began. People understood that if they had enough money, they could buy whatever their little hearts desired such as food, clothes, luxuries, even people!
The whole concept of money has been pounded in our heads. We have an innate understanding that money is scarce, and we want to make it stretch for as long as possible. We are always looking for the best deal. We are always in search for a bargain. Because we need to make our money last as long as possible.
Similarly, people have this same approach when it comes to love and relationships. They treat love like it's a currency. They will give love, only when they know they are going to get love in return. We treat love as if it's a currency, or some kind of stock option that we can lose money on. Then, we are disappointed when the people we love don't do what we say, or don't behave the way we would have liked them to behave. We treat love like it is some kind of investment. When it starts to tank. We want to toss away our love like it was some kind of cheap knock-off bag.
Our loneliness is a result of our conditioning; we are reared to believe that love is scarce. It is something that we have to work for, or something that we have to earn. So we go through life, writing '"love checks" mistakenly believing that other people are going to meet our needs. We do things to please other people; we make so many sacrifices just to feel loved. But love is not a sell-out. It cannot be brought or sold. Love is the only resource that is unlimited. The only thing that we have in abundance is love.
However, we create a lot of problems when we feel that love has to be rationed, when we put all these conditions on love. Loving with certain expectations is the wrong way to love. Why? Because 99.9% of the time you are going to be disappointed. The truth of the matter is that no one will ever be able to meet your needs better than you. No one can love you better than you. Once you understand this, you understand your richness, your wealth, and your value in life.
We don't have to go through life in the dark. We don't have to keep our love on locked down. Once we understand the true power of love, we can operate as if we are millionaires. We can write love checks and never fear that we will take a loss. Self-love is about abundance. When we have self-love, we are no longer dependent on other to meet our needs. We simply don't have any expectations this is why people say that it is better to give than to receive.
