Is that what.......
You are talking about? Well that is a whole other level. That mentality which affects or way of thinking, how we view, talk to, treat each other has very deep roots. Of course the school sys., the govt prgrams and scociety contribute to the self-limiting ideaologies those environments have. How, they don 't teach pride for your race, your heritage or any such thing. When you watch the news what do you see. I have a friend who grow up in a not so good area and I asked why didn't his mother, who is married school teacher move out into a better neighborhood. He said how with what money. Now I do not know her finances but he wasn't on the same page as me. Look for something you could afford, sell and go to a better neighborhood. I am a single indiv. who made a lot less than his parents but I bought a house. Why is that? B/c they we percieve our situations. I was raised never to let anyone think thay are better than you, do not owe anyone anything, and strive for the best no matter what. Unfortunately not everyone has that kind of upbringing. His perception was we couldn't afford a big fancy home like the rich people. Who said you have to. When you are on one end of the stick the other end looks very far away. Some people do not have the ability to see what is in between. Some might look at Oprah and say i can't be her. So what try anyway you might fail and have a house in the suburbs with your kids in private school. BUt the self-limiting way of thinking is very deep rooted. How to fix it all, that is beyond me. I have a started with my friends by getting them to think beyond their upbringing and realized they can acheive more than what they see. And belive me somethimes it is a hard thing to do.
