THE POOR, THE RICH AND THE WEALTHY? || WHY PEOPLE REMAIN POOR

There are three groups of people in the world today: the poor, the rich, and the wealthy. Although some people may fall into the middle class, or somewhere between the two, it is still important to recognize their differences.

While scrolling through WhatsApp status yesterday, I was intrigued with the content of the video and how it classed the poor, rich, and wealthy. It says:

The poor always think about money.

The rich always think about things:
cars, houses, etc.

The wealthy always think about ideas that generate money.

Understanding in-depth of these differences is very important in changing your present status!

Why do people remain poor?

_{Looking at poor people and why people remain poor:}

The fact that having to think about money or having money alone is a problem for one's mindset! The issue with people who are poor is their mindset about money and life!

This category of people focuses too much on money without putting much concentration on what generates money. They are mostly after:

---

1. Finding a Means to Get Rich Quick:

If you've ever been around a poor person, you've probably noticed that the majority of his chats center around finding a magic tree or a way to make money appear in his hand miraculously.

Their mindset is always focused on getting rich quickly without any effort. Hence, they get easily scammed by people who are merely interested get rich quick schemes.

If you notice, poor people are scammed the most because of their urge to get rich quick.

2. Not Ready to Put in Effort to Grow:

Someone whose mind is focused on quick wealth would have a problem making sacrifices and putting in the hard work to grow and be better.

They mostly believe in smart work rather than hard work

To be successful, we need to work both hard and smart. Not everything requires a soft touch and less effort. Remember, "nothing good comes easy." So, effort is required.

3. Sees every opportunity as a risk:

For someone who is relying on luck to get things easily would see only the risks in every opportunity. Their main focus would be on what they stand to lose alone rather than what they stand only to gain.

This is due to the fact that they have been scammed most of the time due to their nature of wanting to earn magic money.

4. Poor planning and time management:

A poor person can spend the whole day worrying about money instead of planning on how to generate money. They spend time on irrelevant activities that don't contribute to their self-development.

5. Spend Time Criticising and Gossiping About Others:

One of the ways poor people waste their time is by spending it on criticizing others instead of learning from others.

They would be the people who know the latest news about the person who bought a car in the neighborhood. They are the ones who gossip about how people make their money or about what they hate and dislike about a person.

6. Never leave the comfort zone:

The comfort zone is a place to hold you back from pushing to your full ability. That's why poor people never know the full extent of what they can do and achieve when they leave their comfort zone.

This is due to their nature of not wanting to put effort towards growth and their reliance on only luck and smart work.

7. Poor self-esteem and dependence on luck:

You would mostly have poor people with poor self-esteem because they don't know the capability of their strength and are only restricted to their comfort zone.

They do not believe in themselves and rather depend on luck to get them what they want.

This is a drastic difference between rich people and poor people. Someone with a rich mindset relies on their capabilities and self-esteem to succeed in any task they take.

They don't wait for luck, they work their way to success because luck may never come unless you are prepared for what is to come!

8. A Different Perspective on Failure:

The reaction to failure strikes a huge difference between poor people and rich people.

Those who are poor see failure as a sign that the opportunity is not meant for them, which is why they fail and end up giving up.

Those with a rich mindset see failure as a stepping stone and a means to improve where they are flawed. They see it as an opportunity to try again with a different approach and not focus on a single type of approach and expect a different result.

9. Steers far away from competition:

For someone who has been shown to be afraid of failure, loves staying in their comfort zone, and has low self-esteem, they would steer away from any competition.

You cannot ideally expect someone who is not ready to put in efforts to go into a competition with another person that would cause both individuals to put in more effort and hard work to do better.

Steering away from competition does not make one know his true strength and capabilities and also how to improve on them. This is why people remain poor!

10. Problem-oriented Mindset:

A person with a problem-oriented mindset is someone who only thinks about their problems and not solutions. They worry too much about problems and yet fail to provide any form of solution to these problems.

They don't see how they can utilise the problem in their surroundings for their own good. They lack the fact that every problem has a solution, and every solution you provide has the means to generate wealth.

Poor people remain poor, and rich people who are solution thinkers always remain rich. They utilise the available resources and convert every problem into an opportunity.

11. Form meaningful relationships:

Someone with a poor mindset only sees relationships as a means to have a beneficiary reward from them. They form relationships with people only because of what they stand to gain, and less on how to build the relationship and get to know each other.

You will find that these people only check up on you when they are in need or check up on you because they want to bill you.

12. Negative thinkers and unappreciative:

Poor people are negative thinkers in a way that they worry so much about life that they forget to be appreciative of what they have.

They worry too much about what they don't have and end up wasting a lot of resources at their disposal.

But rich people are aware of what they don't have but yet appreciate all they have and what life has to offer by giving their best to be a better person. This is what makes them rich!

MINDSET MATTERS!

Being rich and wealthy in life starts with your mindset. Changing your mindset in how you see the world and life changes the way you attract wealth into your life.

This is why they say your circle matters, as does the environment you find yourself in. If your environment or friends have a poor mindset, leave immediately for somewhere your mind can be nurtured.
