Bad Choices That Can Leave You Poor


Folded wad of $100 dollars bills.

“If we are born poor, it is not our fault, but if we die poor, it is!”…… Bill Gates

Lack of a Definite Purpose, Goal or Chief Aim in life: No one can ever hope to succeed in any endeavor by drifting through life without any aim or purpose. That is, without the pursuit of a Definite Goal. You must assume the mentality of the Archer if you need to succeed in life. The Archer trains for years just to be able to hit the bull’s eye within an hour of competition. It is this singular purpose that propels him to train hard so as to succeed at competition proper. It is the same in life. “Drifting people are like rudderless ships and all the voyages of their lives are bound in shallows and miseries.” Anyone, who has nothing to aim at in life, is clearly courting poverty.

Lack of Ambition to move past Mediocrity: This is closely related to the first. People who lack a Definite Purpose hardly have any ambition to pursue. Ambition fuels the train of desire, increases drive and the will to achieve. Anyone who lacks this drive can hardly achieve anything worthwhile and may not be able to make money and live a good life.

Negative Mental Attitude: If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you certainly can’t. The mind makes the man or woman. A Positive Mental Attitude energizes and increases drive for achievement. It increases productivity, improves quality of work and reduces stress. A Negative Mental Attitude which induces ill-health, envy, jealousy, bitterness, purposeless-ness and stressful life breeds poverty. A Negative Mental Attitude is avoidable by deliberate choice.
