Rich Wo/man Poor Wo/man

The rich and poor wo/man mentality are the same mindset from different ends of the same stick inhibiting growth and sabotaging productivity. Both rich and poor wo/men feel entitled and competitive in the free market for different reasons, none the less the same mindset. The rich wo/man practices entitlement from the privilege money emits and is competitive to prove s/he earnt the pleasure of being rich. The poor wo/man exercises entitlement from the victimization poverty gives off and is competitive to climb the ladder to becoming rich or at a minimum comfortable.    Rich and poor wo/man mentality causes sabotage differentially although in essence inhibits the mindset from attaining true belief in oneself to achieve the reaching towards the soul’s productivity. Money is the trace of a rich and poor wo/man personality repelling each other due to the using nature both these mindsets develop. Money, unlike productivity, invokes quantity instead of quality, meaning the chase for more and to do extra clouds and obstruct the way to wealth that is expansion, not waste that is loss.    Wealth grows from productivity and does not see money and all that comes with it, only development. A wealthy mindset attains the satisfaction and sufficiency a rich and poor mindset endeavours to do. In this article I will demonstrate the ruin a rich and poor wo/man mentality has on society and individuals, only to conclude with the enlightenment of the wealthy mindset that flourishes and satisfies individuals’ and aids society.                

The rich wo/man mentality guises the poor wo/man mentality materially and accumulates in similarly the insecurities and conduction influenced by the mindset. The significant inhibition is in the fear of humiliation, where the market is observed as a competing ring to wrestle in. Wondering why to bother facing humiliation by getting in the ring to compete with self-made people who earned their money, only to look incompetent and to be laughed at for not relaxing and enjoying a so-called blessing that can actually make one feel disconnected, making a blessing not feel like one. Assuming it is easier to flaunt being rich and best to enjoy it wastefully or continue a legacy that may not resonate with the individual to honour inheritance and prove stability.    Opportunities may appear several times to align with purpose and ignite inspiration, although overlooked due to the incapability in viewing growth not from a material aspect alone. Implicitly missing the signs directing towards humility, grace, passion, and true wealth that suffices one’s existence beyond material acquisitions alone. Wisdom, skills, abilities, and Divine qualities are the humble, graceful, and passionate internal wealth that inevitably project the material provision required to succeed in freedom. The rich wo/man mentality becomes a slave to its money, restricted to the minds’ desires, and imprisoned by the ego. Absent in true freedom that consists of physical comfort in financial freedom earnt with learnt skills and abilities and mental relaxation earnt with wisdom and Divine qualities, emanating peace that prevails the entirety of life and is the reality of being wealthy.         Interaction in the social network described as participation in society becomes limited in the rich wo/man mentality due to the lens viewing classes that is influenced by the social structure. Using people as a prop to continue the show of privileged bliss and interacting for display with eyes open for further material growth. Neglecting the souls’ growth and recognition and distracted by material chase to prove value and worth in deserving what others presume to be luck. Living a life of chase similarly to a poor wo/man and ascending and collecting more desires not catering to soul growth and evolution.

A poor wo/man mentality crossing paths with a rich wo/man mentality repel one another due to their mentality dictating their behaviour and both chasing without pausing in hindsight to notice the Divinely orchestrated offerings sent to both. A poor wo/man sees how to take and use by trying to be whatever the rich wo/man desires to get paid and a rich wo/man perceives a wo/man potentially useless to bind. Assuming how can this poor wo/man give to me, seeming as though they can only take, and the poor are presuming how they can take from a rich privileged wo/man by conforming to what is believed they want from various elements that initiated the mentality and veiling their authenticity that is of more value. Aspects including the belief of being poor, the misunderstanding of the definition of poverty, and the identity shifting to suit and please who is perceived rich or privileged to gain, formed by the societal structure and inherited mentality. Instead of looking beneath money managing both these mentalities to notice inspiration and growth in various areas both have attained from different experiences and social exposure to share, and to give and take thus growing in wealth cultivated inside out. Demonstrating richness to be inconclusive to poverty and defining deficiency as the true meaning of being poor, which is negligence to acquiring internal wealth of skills, attributes, and pearls of wisdom, attained by taking heed and conscious motion.    Identity shifting is the concept of pretending to be what the person one wants to impress wants them to be like to benefit from them. Causing material benefit alone and totally neglecting the internal benefit that derives from authentic conduction that converts the chase to a stroll towards material gain and displays illusion in sufficient benefit all together. People cross paths to teach one another and ignite inspiration in areas one is subconsciously seeking, therefore, identity shifting is to provide for conscious requests that are limited to what one already knows. Providing a service and getting paid, thus both gaining materially and avoiding new heights reached with authentic conduction that inspires, and teachers, with confidence and does not require shifting in character to appease anyone. Character shifting displays itself in various ways depending on the pursuit and intention, for example, a woman seeking to find a provider may perform to be what the targeted man perceived to be a provider wants to attain the material gain desired and deliver the material requirements he seeks. Implicitly missing the internal necessity they both subconsciously seek, that may be independence for the woman and stimulation for the man. If authentic interaction triumphs provision for the material and internal aspects autonomously can become evident in taking heed of the qualities each possess and confidently project by recognizing them initially. The woman can become inspired and motivated towards production from the meeting and simultaneously inspire healing and understanding, stimulating the man towards internal growth. Both succeed in recognizing the purpose in their meeting and attaining the desired independence in achieving production and stimulation in healing, catering for internal and external growth that together, individually cultivate wealth (further explanation on the feminine and masculine material coupling; read Money & Seduction blog). Another example of two people crossing paths and missing an opportunity due to their adopted rich or poor mentality can be presented in a business woman interviewing a young boy or girl who desperately wants the position in the advertised role. Although the young boy or girl have unique attributes in authentic expression that can be noticed and highly regarded in the business, they choose to enact a business-like mannerism to show their qualification probably similar to their opponents. Potentially achieving to attain the role and delivering what is asked of them that suits the requirements of the advertised position. However, possibly missing a better suited position not advertised, fulfilling both the goals of the business woman and the candidate, merely by displaying their authentic character and qualities, or not attaining the position and still winning in staying true to their character and aligning with what resonates with their character.          Believing poverty relates to material status alone propels the broken mentality and obstructs one from attaining wealth. Stating one is poor and cannot give back to permit taking nor see any guidance from people sent because without money one cannot progress, subjugating value to money entirely. Inhibiting creation by not bothering because of the perception one needs money to produce, thus not paying any mind to the countless possibilities sent along one’s path through the social network. Assuming it is better to stay in the scarcity lane identified as their lane and avoid socializing with people that open doors of opportunity because of their poor class and proposing they cannot pay anyone back. Giving and taking does not have to be limited to money as perceived in the poor and rich mentality where opportunities are witnessed as a pitiful favour unable to be returned. Although the returning of a favour is the sharing of authentic inspiration, wisdom, skills, abilities, and qualities unique to the confident soul asserting them and favours are interpreted as invested opportunity given to the assertively secure individual promising return.     

A wealthy mindset unlike the rich and poor mentality is the attentive observation in noticing the qualities, abilities, skills, and characteristics developed and courageously interacting in the social network with abundance of wealth whether spiritual, psychological, arts/creativity, sports, or impressively diplomatic to find countless opportunities sent to all to climb the ladder towards bountiful fruition. Initiating wealth from inside out no matter where one started out from, as no one truly starts out from the bottom in hindsight. To comprehend wealth that develops the wealthy mindset is to acknowledge the Divine Source, referred to biblically as God amongst all and recognise the guidance in reaching fulfilment. Understanding wealth to be sufficiency and expansion that interestingly expands freedom through Divine devotion. To be wealthy is to seek passion and play with hobbies that do not necessarily require money and take heed of soul growth to gain the admirable qualities that aid in achieving true success, which is freedom (Read Defining Success Blog). Freeing oneself from the ego and the restraints of material matter caused by debt or the burden to multiply assets and countless desires. Converting material desires to aspiring to achieve mastery of hobbies and thy character, inspires paid wisdom from attention needed to attain mastery and Divine qualities like patience, determination, persistence, and consistency earnt from accomplishments.    Slow movement not a speedy rush stems from a wealthy mindset and taking the care and establishing the courage to develop on passions, abilities, skills, and attributes. Quality living begins with attention to surroundings, the social network, soul discovery/growth, and passions, only found in faithful and courageous slow movement. A quality life stems from discovering passions and enjoyment throughout the exploration of abilities, skills, qualities, and characteristics within, forming an empirically qualified character. Quantity opposes quality, in impatience with discoveries and development, not allowing oneself the luxurious time to excel with enjoyment on passions that may cost time or money if able and not benefit material gains straight away, unless a passionate job is discovered to aid in living expenses. Multitudes of hobbies can be discovered without money by self-teaching of passions such as yoga, soccer, basketball, drawing, psychology, and spirituality etc. In utilizing the social network anything can be self-taught through conversations with people who are all a walking book with experience and knowledge to share, tutorials on YouTube or information on the web. In essence quantity lacks quality, and the goal with a wealthy mindset is to display patience in mastering passions/hobbies and creating from the abilities, skills, and attributes gained from exploring hobbies. Saving time to implement hobbies by working less and not chasing the money work gives, and utilizing the precious time to build on abilities, skills, and attributes gained from enjoying interests. Time saved instead of wasted to collect/save money accumulates the well-deserved attributes needed to master passions/interests, such as patience, persistence, determination, and attentiveness. Gaining abilities and skills to match, while simultaneously enjoying the quality of life, and not feeling in lack to chase for anything. Feeling wealthy with or without money with faith the utilization of the mastery of hobbies/interests will attain the money required to be financially comfortable or flourish in financial freedom. Hobbies selected can include one mental interest, one spiritual topic, and one physical interest, to assume various avenues simultaneously. Work becomes merely a place to go to present attributes possessed and build on them with conflict resolution skills and diplomacy required in conduction at the workplace. While collecting money to simply live a quality life initiated by the excitement of life that derives from hobbies. This creates space to choose a job of enjoyment if money is not at the forefront and the main reason to work, thus enjoying life becomes for the wealthy.     

To finalize, switching lanes and thriving to become rich does not necessarily make someone wealthy, nor does it automatically convert their mentality. The poor and rich mentality are the same in chasing profit and consequently acquire the same internal state that dictates behaviour despite opposing external displays. Sabotaging growing in value and building self-worth while presenting significantly different on the outside depending on the material acquisitions acquired proving their classes. Although a rich wo/man who may seem abundant can be immensely dissatisfied and searching for more like a poor wo/man, confirming the material does not suffice alone.   Interpreting abundance in a wealthy mentality is the comprehension of expansion that values a balanced growth in all aspects of life deserving the satisfaction of freedom, which is the reality of bountiful abundance. Freedom from the restrictions of the ego and its countless ever-growing desires, and from material constraints that initiates the chase deriving from the rush to repay debts. The wealthy mindset appreciates value stemming from skills, abilities, quality attributes, and wisdom strived towards and accomplishing mastery of thy character and its passionate endeavours. Faithfully noticing the Divine and its guidance, blessings, and teachings, that provisions and satisfies one’s existence with the gift of freedom for the individual’s unconditional devotion, the irony! Aligning one’s passions, skills, and abilities with the devotion to serve ultimately gains the material abundance one yearns for to project the internal freedom achieved materialistically with reaching financial freedom. Valuing soul growth, and honing skills and knowledge, is the mental switch transforming one from a rich/poor mindset to a wealthy one. Catering for the fulfilling satisfaction the poor/rich mentalities chase with the slow-moving wealthy mindset. Saving valuable time instead of grinding at work to repay debts to enjoy hobbies that is life, to find the answers in the joy to utilize to find Divine service and earn material comfortability. Freeing oneself from the shackles of the ego bound to desires and eventuating to the freeing of material matter holding one back from truly living. Whether rich or poor, in these mentalities’ material restraints one from authentically living due to the slaving to their money both mentalities adopt. Although the wealthy mentality asserts confidence in relaxation and appreciates its value towards provisioning for the world, deserving of peace and comfort.   Paper money creates a rich and poor wo/man mentality, although the internal economics, that is expansion, initiates a wealthy mentality and evolves a quality life. Internal economics beats material money, as anything from the Divine beats anything that’s not. The immaterial creates material, thus the immaterial acquisitions ultimately reach the material attainment for the poor, or the deserving of material acquisition for the rich.
