Why do some of us receive more than others? Is it fair that one person has more than another? I don't see any problems with someone accomplishing more with their life than someone else. I believe that people who live in poverty live in an illusion. No matter how difficult or unlikely anyone can remove themselves from poverty. Living around poverty is the number problem of living in poverty. Unless you are held against your will, anyone can get themselves out of poverty. All it takes is persistence. People are products of their surroundings. So if live in a bad neighborhood, then you are going to be surrounded by bad things and unfortunately may end up a bad person. If you can have the foresight to remove yourself from a bad environment and follow through with it, you are one step closer to removing yourself from poverty.

Do or Die

Look around your house find anything you can get rid of. As hard as it may be, sell everything you own. Find a way to move to an area where people are making money. This is how many people became successful in the past. Many families on the east coast were moving west. People were coming rich off of gold rushes and oil. They moved to where the money was. Today, you can still move west and discover a dream. In Los Angeles people are looking to find fame and fortune. In San Francisco there are new tech gurus looking to become billionaires. Moving to area where wealth is being accumulated is the best thing you can do. Surround yourself with successful people and listen. Keep an ear out for new and interesting ideas. When people are becoming rich in a specific area, chances are there are well paying jobs attached.

Where did all the jobs go?

The problem with the lower income areas, there are no jobs except Walmart. If you can move to where the jobs are, you'll have a better chance at success. People think what I am saying is impossible. That's is the worst mentality you can have. I quit my job, traveled Europe for three months and people thought I was crazy. I'm still here and now I have new job and life is normal again. You can make anything you want possible, it just takes persistence and the will to do it. Even if you don't have the money to move out of a bad environment, people around the world are willing to crowd fund your story. People are generally good and most are surprised at how willing people are to help someone if the outcome will be positive. I see tons of people raising money on Facebook.

Pursuit of Happiness

If you want to remove yourself from poverty, you have to stop blaming other people for your problems. I've come to learn you have to find your way out of poverty. You have to educate yourself on ways to get out of poverty. Learn about things that interest you. If you can find something you are good at or have fun with the money will come. Just staying in the system will not ever make you rich. Going to your job at Walmart everyday for barely any money is not going to make your rich. Things don't come to people, people have to find them. You have to make time outside of your normal job to learn a new skill or trade. Most people come home from their day job exhausted and just want to watch a little television. Successful people come home from their day job and continuing working. Television will never give you the knowledge you need to break out of the system, television is put into place to keep you in the system.

Brotherly advice.

My brother would have me do things for him and sometimes I would tell him I couldn't do it or I wasn't smart enough. The response he would always give has always stuck with me. He would say, "There is no can't, you either do it or you don't". And that is it. Either figure it out or don't figure it out. You always have two options in life, do or do not. I will say, the ones who decide to do are the ones who find the success when they aren't looking.
