FYI I wouldn't use this fear-based approach today. The story I wrote was from many years ago, long before I launched StevePavlina.com.
A fear-based approach is thinking you need to recover money you've lost by taking it from somone. A love-based approach recognizes that money is abundant and can always be created anew, so there's no need to fret over losses or seek retribution when you have the option of focusing on the creative side.
In fact, this love-based approach helped me a lot on the path to financial abundance. Instead of fussing over my expenses, I largely ignored them and put my energy on the income side by focusing on creating value. |
