Despite how crazy the world is, now is probably the best time in history to be alive because of all of the advancements over time. We have grocery stores, modern medicine, and less physical jobs; however, despite this, many people feel "poor."
In this video I argue that, "The reason we feel poor is more about mindset than money." If we can change our mindset a little bit, then we will realize how rich we actually are. And I give, "6 Reasons Why You Feel So Poor."
1. You’re Taking Everything For Granted
We often focus on the things that we don't have instead of the things we do have. We take some of the biggest advancements like clean drinking water, plumbing, and modern medicine for granted. We have this sense of entitlement and solely focus on the things that we don't have. Instead of taking what we have for granted, we need to appreciate the things we do have.
2. You’re Choosing The Wrong TV Programs
The average American watches 3 hours of TV a day and when you consume that much TV, the programs you choose subconsciously influence you in what to believe and what is important. If you consume TV programs that play of envy and the superficial, then you are probably going to feel poor due to comparison. Instead of watching any TV program, we need to guard what comes in our mind and not be influenced.
3. You’re Idolizing The Wrong People
We often idolize rich people and act as if since they have big houses and nice cars that they are better than us. Then, we act as if we're poor because we are not living such a luxurious lifestyle. Instead of idolizing extremely rich people who live superficial lives, we need to ask ourselves, "What is important," and not pursue this false, superficial image of happiness.
4. You’re Think Wants Are Needs
The cost of living has increased throughout the last hundred years, but one of the biggest reasons that life is more expensive nowadays is because there is more to buy. Now that we have so many things that we can spend our money on that we start confuse wants for needs. We act as if we need a new smartphone or a new car, and if we do not have that stuff then we are poor. Instead of confusing wants are needs, focusing on knowing the difference and view wants are extra.
5. You Think You Can Have It All
Life is about trade offs. There will never be a moment in life where you will stop having problems. Whatever you decide to do in life will come with strings attached. For example, if you want more free time, then you will probably be making less money. Many people, however, think that they can have it all and when they don't, then they feel poor and they're depriving themselves. Instead of thinking you can have it all, prioritize what you want because everything comes at a cost.
6. You’re Simply Not Content
In our society we are constantly seeking more: bigger houses, nicer cars, and more things. And this constant pursuit of more really represents our lack of contentment. We believe that by accumulating a bunch of things that it will make us happier; however it doesn't work. It just becomes this never ending pursuit of more that makes you feel less content. Instead of seeking contentment through material possessions, seek contentment though less.
And if you can figure out how to be content with less, it doesn't matter how much money you have because you will be the richest person on Earth.
