Ever seen a man that prefers to
wallow in poverty thinking he is making life easier? I have and by extension,
the way such people reason when it gets to some issues makes you convinces you
that there people who love to be poor. Such people are poverty stricken to the
extent that every move they make depicts and represent poverty. How would you
describe someone who preferred to collect money in exchange of something that
would make him live healthier?
To such people, they would rather prefer
a sachet water in the place of a bottled water, now when you offer them sachet
water, they would prefer drilled (borehole) water in the place of the sachet
water. All they calculate is what could be done for them to be left with some
change. My brother, to me, health and not just health but good health is my
priority. I rather spend money to prevent disease than save millions of money
that would be spent on treatment.
The God that created us is wealthy;
he gives everyone to opportunity to be like him. And if he is a wealthy God,
and has offered you and I the opportunity to live wealthy, why then are some people
poor. The answer is simple, mentality. The difference between a wealthy man and
a poor man is mentality. The wealthy man cultivates the mentality of the rich,
and puts them to work while the poor cultivates the poor man's mentality puts
that to work and reaps what he has sown.
One of the attitudes that is cultivated by human being is the Poverty mentality attitude. Not a good one really. It's a way of thinking that promotes and houses poverty. The people of this attitude do focus on what one doesn't have rather than what one does have. They are always thinking of how they would exchange what they have which is of much benefit especially to their health in the place of what they do not have. they are Self centered, unproductive and too lazy to take the bull by the horn. Thoughts and comments such
as "I can't afford this..." and "I'll never have enough money
for that..." may turn out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Zig Ziglar noted that focusing on
the concern about what is missing in one's life rather than focusing on what is
there can lead to further poverty. Ziglar and others believe the ones who break
out of poverty and really succeed are those who use what they do have, are
grateful for what they do have and most of all aren't jealous of what others
have. Basically, it's an attitude of self-belief and empowerment rather than
one of self-pity and jealousy that is thought to combat the destructive poverty
mentality.
Being positive and building on what
you do have can lead to developing a positive, workable plan that can lead to
all types of successes even if you don't believe the so-called poverty
mentality exists. The ideas of thinking positively and believing in ourselves
and our abilities often seem so cliche that many of us tend to ignore these
concepts. Yet if we think about it, ignoring them may be quite self
destructive.
If we don't want to live in poverty,
no matter how much we may wish to be rich or richer it isn't enough. We have to
have a workable plan and an attitude that brings money our way rather than
repels it and keeps others from wanting to help us. The first step in
overcoming poverty mentality is becoming aware that we have it. We can rethink
the statements we make about money and stop focusing on being poor. Rather than
concentrating on what we don't have compared to others, we need to focus on
what we do have, what our purpose is and how we can positively get what we
want.
