Am I Afraid To Be Rich?

A friend of mine once complained to me, “I work hard like anybody else, but why do I still have problems with money?” And another one said, “I had this amount last week, now I am penniless where did my money go? I certainly tried to hold on to it, but it is gone.” Still another said, “Why can’t I seem to start saving or save money? I’ve taken lessons about saving, but I still have nothing!” Sounds familiar? Of course, most of us are wondering about these “phenomena.” Maybe, you’re in the wrong business or the wrong job. Maybe you don’t spend wisely. Maybe you are just unlucky with money. Maybe God just meant you to be poor.

We can give so many reasons why we can’t handle our finances so well and increase them like some people. But why? There must be an underlying cause.

You know like when you are ill, you see the signs and feel the symptoms, you take a pain reliever or an antipyretic, but you still don’t get better. Sometimes it is because there really is a disease that needs to be treated, and other times it is all in the mind. Or what the doctors termed psychogenic.

So maybe you need to examine your psyche to find out if it is really conducive to the growth of wealth and abundance or you might just have an unconscious fear of them. Sounds crazy, isn’t it? But Carmellita Brown, a wellness and success coach believes this fear exists, and explains why.
