Mindset: The Real Wealth

 From what I’ve seen in my experience, many people who are wealthy are actually working hard to be where they are today. Yes, we do come across some spoiled rich kids and some people who make money by deceiving others. But there are also many rich people who genuinely work hard, plan ahead for the future, and build proper savings.

On the other hand, I’ve also seen poor people who don’t put in the effort and rely on excuses like “I don’t have money or support to reach that level.” They keep complaining about being born poor, having no support, and not getting opportunities. But in reality, they are sabotaging themselves — not because they are lazy, but because their mindset is fixed. They don’t move forward because these limiting thoughts were instilled in them from childhood. They don’t even know there’s another way to live.

Poor people need to take even the smallest step forward. But I’ve seen that many don’t even make the minimal effort their peers make to improve their situation. They get stuck in a cycle of sadness and dependency on others for money.

This self-sabotage they experience is also a result of heavy responsibility.

If they don’t even know that with hard work and proper planning they could improve — even slowly — then how can they start? And by the time they understand this on their own time goes by.. 

So yes, I can give the benefit of the doubt to poor individuals who are not able to excel, especially when compared to others studying at the same level. Those other people are able to excel simply because they don’t have the kind of responsibilities that poor individuals carry .

And they have elders at home who guide them, or they have exposure to people who explain these things to them ,which poor kids don't.

And when poor people’s responsibilities finally reduce and life gives them a second chance, many of them have become so used to depending on others for money, complaining, and staying in their comfort zone that they don’t even attempt to work hard—even after watching others put in the effort. They end up sabotaging themselves. Some may try, but most don’t.

I may be wrong for thinking this way, but this is what I’ve actually experienced so far.

And I’ve taught myself that:

If rich people can do it, I can too.

Change your mindset instead of complaining.

You don’t need to be perfect—just do something. Even the smallest daily effort matters. At the end of the day, you did something for yourself, and that truly matters.

I’m expressing myself on this topic in my blog because it made me realize that I’m one of those fortunate ‘ kids’ who was blessed with the understanding of working hard. Even though this realization came to me a bit late, I still have time to become financially independent and to guide the people around me and with this understanding, one knot of my tangled, restless soul finally opened.
