Hi there,
Interesting points about poverty. I always remind myself that there is a major difference between material poverty/wealth and mental or spiritual poverty/wealth.
I am therefore naturally dubious about a spiritual/motivational programme that actually promises MATERIAL wealth. I can therefore fully understand your doubts, Hartreefoch.
Surely it is more powerful and sustainable to cultivate a mindset which perceives and experience life as abundant (no matter what the conditions) than to actually achieve material abundance - which after all is only one form of abundance and is very temporary?
That said, it is easy to have these conversations and discussions about "positive and abundant" mentalities when food is on the table and my family isn't in the process of starving to death.
At the end of the day I believe it is more productive to contemplate generosity and giving in your life rather than focusing on whatever number of material gains may or may not be coming your way. I also think it is most powerful to live fully life for every moment, in the present, and to connect deeply with others no matter what the circumstances. That represents real abundance in my view.
best wishes
