Poverty is…Everywhere.

POVERTY-MINDSET
http://www.alyciaskousen.com/

 Poverty is not the absence of money but the presence of the obsession to grab as much as 

one can for himself.

It respects financial wealth instead of character. 

It places the incredible above the credible.

It values fame more than faith.

Poverty is what compels a person to tell lies or half-truths about themselves, their abilities and achievements to intimidate their neighbour and look better than them. 

It drives one to compete rather than complement.

Poverty pressurises one to keep up with the Joneses.

It always strives to copy instead of being authentic.

It limits oneself or a fellow human by place of birth or status in life.

It blocks the thinking that opens up possibilities.

Poverty is that which keeps a person, an organisation or community set in their ways and unwilling to do things differently to make a change. 

It affects one’s thoughts, words and actions.

We see it at work everywhere in our world, both in Third world countries and even quite glaring in the developed countries.

It can be found in action amongst the economically prosperous, intellectually endowed and creatively talented.

Poverty is a mindset, subtle in its grip and pervasive in its reach. Poverty is…everywhere.
