Poverty Is The One of The Greatest Gifts
Use Your Past To Accelerate Financial Success
“Sometimes poverty is the greatest gift you can ever be given. Sometimes loss is the key that leads you to gain (Suze Orman).”
Born Financially Motivated
Something magical happens to those who choose to make something of themselves even though they’re born with nothing or very nothing.
These people develop an innate tenacity for personal and financial improvement; they will surrender this desire to improve for nothing.
Those who choose to create wealth for themselves firmly believe that the universe has destined them to experience and have more.
Whatever you believe becomes your reality.
If you are born into poverty or fragile economic circumstances, this doesn’t have to be your financial destiny.
The choice is yours whether or not you forge a new path of wealth, freedom, and options.
Most People Didn’t Come From Wealth
If you’re like most people, you didn’t come from a wealthy or ultra-wealthy background. Most people come from a middle or lower-class economic background and aren’t taught about personal finance during childhood.
Though the best time to learn about money is when you’re young, most people don’t learn about money until they’re an adult (30s or 40s and beyond).
Many 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80+ people still don’t understand how to manage their money. However, not being taught about money during their childhood isn’t a viable excuse for not performing well at money.
We all have the opportunity to take direct action to improve our financial circumstances. The choice is always up to us, but as I mentioned at the beginning of this article, only some people are willing to change their financial destiny.
It’s easier to accept mediocrity than to change your results; staying the same is comfortable; it’s similar to staying in bed after your alarm goes off when it’s cold and rainy outside; these are some of the most challenging times to get out of bed.
Discomfort is painful.
Change is painful.
Use Your Past To Accelerate Financial Success
Have you ever wished you were born into different economic circumstances? When I was younger, I used to wish my family had more financial resources. I saw the kids and families who did have more resources (or at least appeared to), and I wanted that for my family and me.
Though my family never became wealthy during my childhood, my parents provided me with the proper foundation to create wealth in my future years through financial education and exposure.
Reading books at the dinner table began my financial education. I took it further by continuing to read books and exposing myself to wealthy individuals and opportunities outside my usual environment.
What are you choosing to do to transform your financial destiny?
Complaining about your past will never shift your financial results.
The only way to shift your financial results is to acquire and apply knowledge prudently.

We didn't have much money when I was a small boy. The benefit is that it's always been easy to live below my means. I guess the habit comes from my childhood.
