of rest or uniform acceleration except an external force compels it to do otherwise." That

is the law of inertia! Newton called it an external force, but it could as well be an internal
force too. You are poor and may continue to be poor until something within you compels

you to challenge your joblessness and cause you to seek a means of transforming your
life.

You are poor because you refuse to challenge your mind to think productively. You do

not stretch your mind, think creatively and productively. That is the reason everything

stands still. You have not realized that nothing changes around you until it changes
within you, and nothing moves around you except it first moves within you.

You are poor because you do mere dreaming. You are a wishful-thinker and not a doer!
Your thoughts are vague and unrealistic! They are daydreams with no action backing

them up. You are not engaging your mind constructively, or actively searching for money
making ideas that can transform you from a poor job seeker to a job giver – an employer

of labour.

You are poor because you did not convert your chances, or you habitually give up too

soon. You forget that winners do not quit, and quitters do not win. You fail to take hold of
opportunities that abound within and around you. You are poor because you have

enough alibis to explain away your penury and frustrations. You are not poor because
your country is poor or the economy is bad, you are poor because your mind is poorly

developed, and lack adequate information or strategies for your turnaround.

Lastly, you are poor because you are not angry; you are not angry enough to end your

poverty and joblessness. You still tolerate and feel cool with it. Your change will not
happen until the day you rise to say it is enough to poverty and joblessness! That is the

beginning of your freedom from poverty. This is the truth. Think about it!

Reflection

“Your change will not happen until the day you rise to say it is enough
to poverty and joblessness!”

What can you do to end poverty in your life?
