What’s your setting in life—this you envision and repeat for thyself. Nothing can be more damaging than your disconnect with your inner self—the unawareness of your experiences and how you are now. Knowing your full context—outer and inner landscapes—helps you to act from within more relevantly; hence, you’re able to receive more favourable outcomes for yourself.
Further, we will discuss the mind that clings to negativity, hence increasing its misery-poverty. And an optimistic life outlook that makes you able to see opportunities, even in tonnes of rejections. The optimistic search for opportunities is a mindset of abundance because you see the availability for yourself, and you take actions to increase this abundance—the richness, or even wealthiness, as you improve all significant life areas for living your life better.
Remember, bringing awareness to where you are, how you are, and what you want is about the connection with your essence, and it knows ways for you; listen to it and move on.
Your response is the most significant thing you have to live your life. Own it.
Key Points on Rich and Poor Life Aptitude
1️⃣ Health Prioritization
Rich people always prioritize their health, seeing it as the foundation for any movement. Any activity is abandoned if their health is at risk, whether it’s an exam, vacation, or meal.
Poor people often neglect their health, thinking that enduring suffering now will lead to future gains. However, neglecting health means no future with positive gains is possible. The poor may continue to suffer and accumulate new damages if they survive.
2️⃣ Sharing and Generosity
Rich people are generous. When you’re rich, insignificant losses are casual. Your risk tolerance is larger, and you move on and experiment more. Even if losses arise, give and take is a universal rule:
To receive anything, you give something, and giving, you receive.
When poor people give their little, they behave as if they gave you the richest building made in Abu Dhabi. Any insignificant loss is seen as an extreme failure. Even life wastage, like a bad mark on an exam, poor people are extremely attuned to outer authorities—they like to be slaves. When you’re poor, scarcity thinking prevails, and if something goes wrong, you don’t try again.
Generosity is one of the main aspects; it can have many forms.
For example, I’m often asked to photograph people when they see me taking pics anywhere I am. It’s about being open to others, being ready to give something that you’re full of; it doesn’t make you poorer; it actually only enriches you, like becoming more experienced in photography or filming.
It’s much about the aptitude you have. The poor, being poor in mind and cowards, wish for negativity and are overly clingy—scarcity thinking: they think if they give something, they’ll lose it; typically, they don’t look at any positive situation it can bring.
Once you’re yourself, you don’t care about competitors, so commercial secrets are mostly about scarcity minds; they don’t believe in themselves to make something authentic anymore. This fullness of yourself overflows you, and you share what you’re filled with; it’s authentic and can have more value.
Quite often, this personal sharing and being unafraid to express oneself can lead to meeting those who can relate, like the option for beneficial collaboration. It reminded me that rich people often have a WIN-WIN strategy, so they tend to collaborate instead of being superior or inferior.
It again speaks volumes of the poor being cowards and insecure in themselves, having masochistic tendencies (but those who have masochistic tendencies also have a sadistic part; it’s all about finding a person and behaving with them a certain way; sadism and masochism are both sides of the same coin).
Humans share what they are filled with.
The rich collaborate to enrich both sides, utilising a WIN-WIN strategy.
The poor, filled with insecurities and cowardice, often project it onto the nearest to them. Their insecurities and misbehavior are their choice to be.
The poor almost always will tell you that something is wrong with you; if not playing cowardly, then they’ll go gossiping. They’ll catch any detail in you, even the color of your earphones, to try to make a fool of you.
Not to say they do it to get more comfortable in your presence; as they feel negative about themselves, they’ll downgrade you so that they feel better: in more balance with you. The worse they feel about themselves, the more boorish they’ll be about you.
Be aware not to take anything from the poor, and just play it cool: you can leave them and walk your path.
3️⃣ Clinging
Rich people aren’t clingy at all: they exchange, spend, invest, and live and flow with the river of their lives.
Poor people are clingy to everything due to scarcity thinking and willingness to be enslaved by someone, so that they can blame, and they like it. There's nothing new but clinginess to old patterns. It shows the cowardice the poor have. With this cowardice, they cling to old patterns and become swamp-like—they choose themselves to be enslaved.
This absence of experimentation makes them stick to old patterns; by and by, they become fully mechanical, and a machine is easy to break.
They aren’t alert, aren’t awake; they support their ecosystem of poverty by clinging to the old. They aren’t inside seekers; they tend to invest in how others think of them—they meticulously craft their relationships via gossip, betrayal, and foolish talk.
This unawareness, their constant dream, they aren’t living in the present but sticking to external authorities to give this responsibility for their lives to someone else except for them.
No one makes you enslaved; you decide it yourself, consciously or not.
But the poor go and blame others for everything they are now. This avoidance of responsibility, but the avoidance is their choice.
Courage to be oneself and to seek oneself and to be active about yourself and your life so to own it is what being rich inside is about—you allow yourself to choose and to act, to have this response, even having fear; you know your individual importance for you. And maybe yet for some—but it’s not a core, allowing you to be for you, because utterly we’re alone, in indifference, and even we’re as we are, are just, not any sense, but just as we are. Why not allow you to embrace your inner nature, wild, chaotic, and by this human? This courage, and the inner resolve—what makes one rich.
Showcasing yourself as you’re in participation with the external world is needed for your inner to be strengthened and enriched because anything we meet and as more we possess simply by witnessing it and making choices from the core makes us strong and enriched. And this showcasing is a continuation of you, as what you’re filled with at some point starts to overflow from you without even your consent for it, it just happens, and by this you enrich the place where you poured yourself, and far beyond it.
Here it’s evident: what you’re filled with you spread outside without your consent, and the more you can possess being watchful makes you stronger; here’s the interconnectedness: inside and outside are connected and not mutually exclusive but mutually enriching, and the stronger you’re to embrace thy’s resolve, the richer you become and the richer the outside world becomes due to it.
So go inside when it’s needed and return at your own pace; listen to your core and don’t betray it; sufferings for trying to fit to external expectations are nothing; you can go and embrace yourself as you are, and if you’re not accepted where you are, then go and change to a comfortable setting; you have this ability as your individual resolve. This is your life and your responsibility. You can make good for yourself, as well as bad, but know that wanting good and having good only for you is good.
To die and not enjoy being yourself is one of the worst punishments you can bring on yourself. And you do it to yourself—no one has enslaved you; you decided to be enslaved by them.
4️⃣ Desire for Negativity
Rich people easily shift things to positive outcomes: lesson learned, so I can improve next.
For example, losing a sum of money can be retrieved by earning again. If they lost it due to being sleepy, they will be more watchful next time and hopefully sleep more. It might be due to neurosis, so they remove its causes or take sedatives/add extra body exercises.
Positive thinking really sets rich people apart; here I must relate more to wealthy people; it’s more than about the money you have; a positive mind makes you seek opportunities instead of falling into negativity and wishing it, unlike the poor.
Poor people, in contrast, enjoy negativity and suffering—so they have things to discuss, just the same as they are. It speaks volumes about their masochistic and sadistic tendencies, which can be revealed with a lesser fish they are, as masochism and sadism are the same coin’s sides. So the poor often switch roles: a hunter, a victim, a helper (helper is the worst; it’s a hunter with a positive appearance; previous ones are at least honest about their beings).
5️⃣ Indifference to Others’ Opinions
Rich people don’t care what others think of them; they just continue to do their deals and be who they are, regardless of the criticism.
Poor people are both gossipers and those who are most attuned to what others think of them—they seek outer justification.
These gossipers talk too much, increasing the misery they choose and create themselves, and do the work they hate. And poor people, being clingy to negativity, will always find something to be negative about. They don’t see a large stone in their own eyes but somehow see it in anyone else’s.
Don’t let the poor’s gossip and attacks ruin you and your life; you may inspire others, who can get rich or become even richer.
6️⃣ Secrecy in Wealth
In third-world countries, the rich often can’t reveal where their money comes from. There’s a pervasive fear, almost a mystique, that if they disclose their sources, the money might vanish. Being wealthy is uncommon in these regions, especially in small rural areas, making the rich from these places even more reluctant to share their origins. This wealth rarity sets them apart from their local tribes.
Being different in such small areas can be extremely dangerous for survival. It’s reminiscent of old stories where tribes would kill someone who was very different to maintain their sense of normality.
This is why gossiping is so common in these places: people are afraid to speak their minds directly or to walk away indifferently. Gossiping unites them even more. However, these cowards can speak loudly and act directly when someone extraordinary, in terms of wealth, becomes weak. In such cases, they can unite to destroy this person directly.
Rich people in developed countries are mostly open about their income sources.
Poor people are extremely clingy to their small sums of income, but mostly they are open about how much they earn monthly.
So the point of the concrete sum of money disclosure is quite relative for both minds, poor and rich, depending on the obstacles and investments to make.
7️⃣ Habits
Poor people, desiring negativity, always choose to maintain things low; they seek things that make them suffer to gossip with like-minded individuals.They keep routines that keep their lives in misery: after work, they hate (they gossip about it too); they call dozens of people gossiping about those with whom they were gossiping on those whom they call now, then they’ll grab some bad-quality food, watch TV or TikTok or whatever, make promises to improve, and delay them to tomorrow/next week/month and never do it—so nothing new; each day is a Groundhog Day.
Essentially, the poor do everything to support their state of negativity around them.
They’re attuned to an archaic mindset: they seek an external god that doesn’t exist; they seek outside validation before acting (and it’s different from a desire to increase the comfort of their future choice) because they believe in some external authority; they probably want to delegate the responsibility for future outcomes to the external authority for their own decisions—they are used to it, always choosing to enslave themselves.
But the truth is: there’s no external god, but you and your outcomes are yours.
Rich people, attuned to increasing their overall wealth, seek things that make them feel more comfortable in this life.
For me, it was always important to visit beautiful indoor places. I find it beautiful to be there, honestly appreciate where I have more space, and dislike closed spaces/interiors that rob this freedom to breathe.
Actually, it’s about the distance, which is essential to differentiate you and the other, so to live your own truth, which is the main essential way of living a better, healthier life, and be you, and to flow in harmony with the surroundings.
This way you understand you have your choice, your response, and you’ll face the consequences further on your own, not blaming anyone for the decisions you took, but continuing to make the most of each situation you’ve met.
When it comes to being “rich,” it’s clear it’s about mindset rather than finance. Money is the outcome of your rich mindset and enriched body by your own efforts.
People with a rich mindset live and strive to increase the positive aspects of life before their deaths. When death comes, they can face it calmly and harmoniously. Death is a natural part of existence; the body dies, but what you’ve done throughout your life will remain in the lives of those you’ve touched, transformed, and influenced. It’s okay to leave, and before that, it’s okay to live beautifully and fully, taking care of yourself and your priorities—your loved ones, work, and management.
Writing this, I’m thinking:
It’s all about improving thy’s overall being and, by doing so, making an impact on others with what you’re filled with.
This is why sharing becomes important: you’re alive and impactful, and when you’re gone, you’re still impactful, thus strengthening overall humanity. The measure of your impact depends on thy’s individuality development and the connections you’ve made along the way.
8️⃣ Being Dirty or Looking Differently
Rich people aren’t afraid to get dirty or to look differently; they experience and enjoy life even if it gets messy sometimes, even if they are different from those around them. They understand the value of themselves and choose themselves and their comfort over satisfaction desires about them that come from others.
Poor people are extremely afraid of getting dirty or looking different due to ego concerns and fear of others’ opinions; they are so afraid of external judgement.
I think lacking a strong inner core or having a weak one prevents them from becoming rich. Poor inside, hence unaware of their own truths, they live by the dogmas of others; they don’t know what to do, and they themselves choose to be enslaved. They are cowards to see inside, to fully understand that humans are complex: having body, mind, spirit, feelings, and emotions. They often betray feelings.
I think it’s a vital part of being a human to be able to feel, to feel this inner sense, and to go out of it, like a gut feeling.
It’s definitely a mindset to be rich or poor.
The rich can be poor inside; the poor can be rich inside. Sums of money are relative. And by the way, there will always be a larger fish.
So just be yourself and express yourself, and you’ll attract those who can relate.
Overall, we see that what you’re filled with overflows at some point in your life, and you cannot help but share what you’re filled with internally. By developing thy’s individuality, you’re able to improve yourself, your life, and overall humanity. This is essential for your legacy: no matter the size of your impact, you leave your unique trace. The more courageous you are in being yourself and sharing it, the more fulfilment and harmony you’ll feel when leaving this life, this last alive form of yours.
Thanks for this impact. You developed the virtues of your character courageously, becoming aware of thyself and starting to act according to your inner nature.
