Seven Ways People Exhibit Poverty Without Knowing! by Nobody: 7:37am On Dec 23, 2014
You see two folks:

One has "physical cash" but he still begs because he's trying to be smart.

The other doesn't really have much but lives his size.


Some folks are like the former.

By way of introduction, Poverty is a mindset that says, "Keep this little one you have, you may not have another one."

Does that strike a cord in you?

The good thing is over the years, different religions (Christianity, Islam, Budhaism, Traditional Religion, Witchcraft and Demonology etc) have all unanimously come to an agreement on how to live a life of abundance: VISUALIZATION!


#Holds break#

How Do Some People Exhibit Poverty Without Knowing?


1. Stealing From Others.

Especially in this Yuletide season, thieves will be recruited from every nooks and crannies.
In politics nko, hmm, Haven't you seen The Rich of Yesterday? Now, they're Broke! Stealing from others cannot guarantee a lifetime of wealthy living, No!
People who steal from you will always need to steal from you to live! FACT!


2. Cheating On Others

Some folks do this as fun. In businesses, we see this a lot. They tell all kinds of lies to make, perhaps, #1000 extra!
Have you noticed that the sellers who cheat becomes very good at it and still remains there to keep it rolling?


3. Being An Addicted Borrower.

Every company is supporting Debt ranging from banks to MTN, hmm.
How can I be so broke that I'll start borrowing credit? Hmmm, poverty is a mindset.
Those who are indebted are always on the move.
Please don't be caught in the eye of Debt! You may not survive it!
Imagine living your wife and kids with debts to pay after you're gone!
Debt is bad!

Quit ALL these gambling and football betting, na so e dey take start, before you bet your house and kids!


4. Being A Miser

I know what it means to spend wisely. I'm talking about not even taking care of your own self in the name of savings that one ish can wreck...
Some people work but their family haven't felt them yet! AkA gum!

Only a poor mind does that!

This Christmas Season, Go, Give something out to family at least!


5. Always Saying "I'm Broke"

After watching a scientific documentary titled "THE SECRET", where I learnt how what you casually say WILL BE YOUR EXPERIENCE!
I shook in fear...I haven't been a bad boy in this area, lol...
#can't go into details #
Watch your tongue, Man!

This, "we dey manage small small" is a signature to Living a life of Financial Mediocrity!

What you say, PUTS THE UNIVERSE TO WORK for or against you!


6. Spending More Than Your Income

This is actually born as a result of poor planning sha.
You want to show how trendy/ caring you are too, so you empty your small savings account for a girl or perhaps for a change of ward robe!

I laff you! She too will laff you!
Give according to your size! Don't pledge 1M, when your yearly income 500Gs. No na!


7. Looking And Appearing Poor.

Looking Good they say, it's good business.
Poor people are first and foremost sighted by their appearance.
Change that torn belt.
Cut your bushy hair.
Press those clothes.
Look #spick and span# all the time whether to the market or the work.

Wearing seductive gowns or bum short to the market tells me you don't have a better dress! Shikena!


Brian Tracy was he who stated, The greatest discovery of our age is that YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE BY THE WAY YOU THINK AND ACT!


The BIG question: What about those who have money and are just opposite all these?

They're Non Existent!
At least, they know some of these principles and keep it.

Thanks!

number 3 especially..
Borrowing is very very bad for any individual cos the bad news is that you must pay back grin, and you'll see cronic borrowers borrowing to pay off another debt angry more like digging a hole to cover up another hole.

God provided for you why not provide for others? They are people out there living on a dollar per day,they are homeless individuals out there,they are people who won't get to feel love this Christmas because insurgency cut short the lives of their loved ones.

Go out today and show love to those who won't expect it. You have been blessed be a blessing to the less privilege.

My dear, don't play preacher with me.
*read to understand.
*There is a difference between giving/borrowing (this is where dictionaries come in handy.)
*I worked for it, it didn't fall from "wherever" @emboldened.
*If I decide not to lend people money - it is entirely my business...you can't change it with this your petty write-up.
*As for giving, trust me...you don't give more than me.

Thanks.

Emusmith I must say I disagree with your number one and two. Those who cheat and steal from others end up being wealthy (in the nigerian context). You observe our politicians, men of God and past head of states and you'll agree with me totally, even some employers of labour have joined the gang.

Stealing and cheating happen to be one of the easiest ways people make money, even the 'yahoo boys' fall under this category.

On the other hand, if poverty is a state of mind then I can't say its encompassing.

Making money AND being wealthy: Are they the same?

Can you think hard on that?

Those who make money are the wealthy ones even though people make money on different scale money making level differ, thus if one is not making money one can not be wealthy.
