5 REASONS WHY SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO BE RICH

It's ironic that a lot of people wants to be Rich but they hate people or sometimes condemn people who have succeeded financially. Some say, "Maybe they did something fishy, that's why they are Rich." or "Making yourself a rich person will just make you an evil villain."

Here are my 5 Reasons Why Some People Don't Want to be Rich and how I contradicted each.

Reason #1: THEY ALWAYS ASSOCIATE MONEY WITH EVIL

When you watch your favorite movie or 'tele nobela', who always portray the evil role, the Rich or the Poor? When you watch the news, you always see that if you are poor the justice is against you and if you are rich justice is always on your side. Maybe you hear parents advising their children to look for a Rich foreigner to marry because he has money so therefore you thought money can manipulate even the heart of the person.

Do we have the same mindset at this point?

Actually this is the problem of our society, most Filipinos are exposed to negative environment or information and they always think that's the way of life - as if 'Money controls everything'. We love generalizing things that's why our minds are clouded by these stories.

Even the Bible doesn't condemn people who are Wealthy, let me give some verses:

"Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit,
but righteousness delivers from death.
The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,
but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.
A slack hand causes poverty,
but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
He who gathers in summer is a prudent son,
but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame." - Proverbs 10:2-5

"The poor is disliked even by his neighbor,
but the rich has many friends.
Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner,
but blessed is he who is generous to the poor." - Proverbs 14:20-21

"The blessing of the Lord makes rich,
and he adds no sorrow with it.' - Proverbs 10:22

Money is just money - a piece of material thing like everything else. How you use it depends on you. If until this moment you still believe that money is evil, so why do you enjoy riding an MRT, hanging out in malls etc. Aren't these things just a result of Wealth used for a good purpose?

"Money is important but it is not the most important thing in the world."

Reason #2: THEY ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN'T DO IT

Most people think that if it is something they haven't done before, it is already impossible for them to achieve or if he knew that none from his family bloodline did that before - he will conclude that maybe he'll be happy to be like them.

Some famous lines,

"My family is poor, therefore I'm always poor."

"I'm not intelligent enough, therefore being rich is impossible."

"I'm not gifted like them."

"I always fail.'

EXCUSES.. EXCUSES.. and more EXCUSES.. aren't you TIRED of it?

This is not farther than the truth. Actually what they are lacking is ACTION. They always let their current circumstances be an excuse so that they won't do anything.

Right now you have 2 options:

Either you have REASONS OR RESULTS!

Reason #3: THEY ALWAYS THINK OPINIONS OF THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE ALWAYS RIGHT

I'm not promoting here that you don't listen to your friends or family already. We always understand that what they are doing is to protect us from harm but also it's our role to inspire them. It's our role to let them understand - we will experience some resistance along the way but once they see our results, they will be convinced. A good example is already written in the book, "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. If you haven't read the book, go to the closest bookstore in your home and start reading it.

Reason #4: THEY ALWAYS BELIEVE THE 'SPECTATORS'

Spectators are those people who just love to watch others 'fail' or 'succeed'. They are good at criticisms and most of their ideas are more inclined into reason "WHY YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT."

Let me give you some examples of the favorite lines of a Spectator:

"I have a friend, he ventured that business and he failed so don't pursue it."

"What they are doing is something fishy, they will just fool you."

"Why do it if you are already comfortable today? It will just give you more problems."

and the list go on.

These people will say anything, will do anything so that you will be like them - did nothing for themselves or haven't tried anything different out of their comfort zones.

Reason #5: THEY ALWAYS THINK RICH PEOPLE HAS MORE PROBLEMS AND WORRIES

A lot of people thought like this because most Rich people are involve in media, like issues, or scandals etc. What they don't know is that whether you are Rich or Poor you will have problems. You have to remember that Successful people have fears but they don't let it stop them.

Whatever excuses you have right now, this is my advise:

"THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN STOP YOU IS YOURSELF!"
