Hey
I was in the bank a few days ago when l heard someone say;
"Thank God l am poor!"
A full grown man with bear bear thanking God for being poor.
E be things o!
How will someone calm down and decide not to have sense?
Poverty mindset is a belief that life is full of scarcity, that things are hard to get, that money is hard to earn, and that things are impossible without money. It is a process that you consciously sabotage yourself from flowing into the energy of abundance.
Get rid of it.
Its okay to be modest oh, but being modest doesn’t mean you should be looking so unkempt.
On the flip side, If you cannot afford a lifestyle, don't attempt to live it.
How can you be working with a good salary and still won’t dress well?
Dey stingy for yourself say na modesty
When people can't be like you they try to bring you down and condemn what you have.
Those without will sarcastically say money is not everything in life, but is poverty anything?
Money is not everything but money is ' something'.
In the 2007 interview with Mandela conducted by Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed,Mandela stated thus;
“Educate children of the poor, so that they can get out of poverty. Poverty does not breed confidence. Only confident people can bring changes. Poor, uneducated people can also bring change, but it will be hijacked by the educated and the wealthy...give young Nigerians good education. Teach them the value of hard work and sacrifice, and discourage them from crimes which are destroying your image as a good people".
See ehnn...
When poverty is seen as a sign of humility and virtue, no one is safe. The world has lots of work to do as regard sanitizing people of this mentality. Some will even want to emotionally blackmailing you by saying, " it's you today, tomorrow things can turn sour for you".
Nobody knows tomorrow but you shouldn't be comfortable in your 'poverty'.
Please, don't let anyone make you feel comfortable that you're poor, because poverty is a disease you should cure.
Expand your financial knowledge: read books, use the resources within your disposal, invest, spend less than you earn, correct your mindset, and don't be lazy!
