are poor because they don't have a desire to be wealthy. They are poor because they haven't developed a strong desire- a "burning desire" to be wealthy.
These people think they are poor because of God's will and lot. They don't bother to think that they are poor because of their own will and lot. They are poor because they don't desire to be rich or to live in plenty and abundance.
People can improve their circumstances if they want to be rich and go after their goals confidently in that direction. Whatever fields of work they choose, if their desire to be wealthy, they can have what they want.
Let me tell you here my parents' story. My parents got married in the early part of 1970s. They had a love marriage. My father married my mom, when he had nothing in store. My father's parents and brothers didn't approve the marriage and they didn't support. My parents didn't have any valuable savings or gifts and they had to survive on their own. However my parents had only one thing: a strong desire, a burning desire to come up in life. They had a desire to be wealthy and rich. And the desire to live a worthy life led them to be rich and abundant.
My parents didn't go to schools to learn how to read and write, they are illiterate academically, but in terms of life as a university, they have acquired wealth of education and experiences and I don't even call my parents uneducated. The life educated them and they became a great success to their capacity.
My parents would have remained poor for their rest of life, if they had not developed the desire to be wealthy and rich. When I think about the stories told by my parents I come to realization that those who develop a desire to be wealthy, do become wealthy depending on how big is their dreams and goals.
I had a chance to witness many examples of people who didn't possess any desire to be wealthy or who didn't develop a rich desire to live in abundance. Those who didn't have a desire to be wealthy, they remained poor and average, on the other hand my parents who lived in the same place and in worse conditions still managed to live abundantly.
Therefore, it is wrong to say that people are poor because of God; rather people are poor because they haven't developed the desire to be wealthy. Many people usually blame the outside forces, which they have no control over for their failures and average life style. What they fail to realize is that they are to be blamed for their own lacking and average lifestyle.
My parents focused their minds on things they did want and off the things they didn't want. Thus they developed a burning desire to become wealthy.
My parents having no academic literacy didn't qualify to get any white collar job instead they qualified to work in the fields and my father had a niche in the agriculture fields. And my parents chose agriculture field to realize their goals and dreams, and the desire to be wealthy made them rich and abundant. They had plenty to feed their two sons, my older brother William and me.
They couldn't go to school because their parents didn't send them. But for my parents education was important and they sent both of their children and that has made a big difference in life.
More than mere academic education, life education is very important because nobody teaches this in schools or colleges. More than academic or professional education, education about goals, dreams, imagination, desire, attitude, gratitude, expectancy, enthusiasm and positive thinking are the most useful information in life.
Those rich billionaires and millionaires are rich because they possessed a strong desire and if they didn't have, they developed the burning desire to be wealthy and that has paid them handsomely.
You can become rich too if you have a desire strong enough to propel you to go after and if you don't have a desire, you can still develop a burning desire. And if you don't have a desire to be wealthy, nothing will work in your favor.
Greater the desire, greater the rewards; bigger the dreams, bigger the success.
