What’s The Difference between a Wealthy Person and a Person That Lives in Poverty?

There’s really not a big Difference per se…

How a person lives, or the desire to live and have a certain lifestyle, is totally up to that individual.
People that are wealthy made the choice to be wealthy, and the same is true for those that live in Poverty, it was their choice also. Now, I know I may have just hit a nerve, but hear me out.


You may be thinking that wealthy people had special privileges that allowed them to become wealthy. This view is not necessary true: Although, there are those that have come from very wealthy families, which has allowed wealth to be perpetuated in their family’s bloodline, however, it’s not indicative for accumulating wealth. You too have what it takes to become wealthy: That’s only if you want to. Remember, it’s your choice.


There is one common thread, among many, that you will discover when you take a look at wealthy people: Imagination is at the top of the list.


Every person that wants to be wealthy must first have an image (Imagination of the wealth already-in-hand) in their minds, first and foremost. This is the Secret.


Isn’t ironic that the Bible even talks about the power of the imagination, the images that we portray in our minds?

 Ponder on these references:


1. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion…Genesis 1:26

2. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Genesis 11:6


3. God can do anything, you know-far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. Ephesians 3:20 (Message Bible).


As you can see, it is vitally important to have the right image in your mind. If Poverty is the Image in your mind, that is the thing that your Imagination will attract to you, poverty. The opposite is true also, if the image that you have in your mind, is creating wealth, that is the thing that your imagination will attract.


You don’t really need anything else, other than your Imagination to create the Wealth that you want. This is why God had to bring to a screeching halt, the completion of the Tower of Babel. This group of people were doing the thing that they had imagined in their minds. God himself confirmed that they were getting ready to accomplish this outlandish feat.


There are so many people that had nothing, other than their imagination, that made something of themselves. Study the List Below:

a) Mike Ilitch

b) Michael Jackson

c) Ray Kroc

d) Henry Ford

e) Oprah Winfrey

f) Steve Harvey

g) Tyler Perry

h) “YOU”!!!


Yes, you made the list.

Q: How did you make the list? This is the question you have to ask yourself, “How do I make this list?”

A: I’m not sure what it’s going to take for you to insure that your name remains on the list…But there is one thing that I am certain of, and that is: You already have what it takes to become successful.

Create images in your mind that are conducive to what you want to accomplish.

Note: Where you are in your life right now, is what you have already imagined in your mind.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he… Proverbs 23:7
