This is such a great post, and I just finished reading your "Hacks to Become a Millionaire" piece as well. I'm really impressed and commend you for being able to look past your upbringing and realize that you hold the keys to your own success, and that one's state of mind is the most important aspect in determining success.
One point you made stood out to me in particular: "Rich people Focus on Opportunities. Poor people are left seeing only the obstacles in front of them." That is SO true.
Have you seen Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs pyramid? I remember reading that he claimed something similar about self-actualized people in that they are "problem centered" (deal with solving problems) rather than wallowing in self-confinement. What you wrote reminded me of that philosophy.
Very powerful. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you! Everyone needs to realize that they have the power to change their life. They really do!
Exactly that is a quote I found in the book "The Millionaire Mind" by Harv Eker.
I haven't. I need to look into it! Thanks for letting me know about it.
So true! I'm gonna have to check out this book. :)
@runaway-psyche - you may also want to check out "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek and then there is always the book that started this whole genre; "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill.
I actually posted a "cliff notes" version of that book on steemit. One of many motivational life hack types posts.
