How Your Parents Ideology About Wealth Affects Your Life Today - John Obidi

Those who were born into poverty grew up hearing their parents measure the magnitude and potency of money by how much food it could buy e.g. ”that money can cook 2 pots of soup”.

Those a step above that grew up hearing money being measured by the ‘comforts’ it could provide e.g. 2 years rent in a safer part of town, with better electricity.

Higher above were those who measured it with the freedom it could provide... and then the

1% who measured it to power, influence, contribution and legacy.

Whichever category you’re currently in, those early belief systems you were unconsciously programmed with by your custodians could be running your life today.

Some so-called generational curses are actually a series of maxims, beliefs and ideologies held strongly and passed down across generations, that make a people voluntarily perpetuate habits and thought patterns that guarantee their continued underachievement.

The fastest route to BEHAVIORAL EMANCIPATION is not a book, or another sermon. Those might inspire you to do it but the real change must be triggered by something more powerful.

This solution is hidden in why (for example) students who were sent to military schools are hardly ever lazy and Covenant University graduates generally think more ambitiously.

The fastest way to reliably rewire decades worth of unresourceful programming is to trigger a radical change of environment, and a prolonged immersion in that new environment where superior standards of thought and performance are non-negotiably demanded of your mental faculties.

Your old thought patterns would be starved of the nourishment they used to receive in the old environment until they wither and die.

New ones would be implanted and nurtured until they take new roots and bear good fruit after their own kind.

ENVIRONMENT!

It reminds me of osmosis in biology - the movement of a molecule from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
