Talking about some of the negative mindsets that Nigerians have,

There is one particular mindset that holds many Nigerians ransom and keeps them poor or average.

And this mindset sometimes seems like the right one.

In fact, if you think about it logically it seems like a wise mindset.

But subtly, it is a dangerous mentality to have.

And if you're not careful, more than just being poor or average it can make you have a miserable life,

Because it will make you miss out on a lot of things.

And this mindset is manifested with this particular statement...

"I can't afford it"

Tell people to pay to learn a skill.

"I can't afford it."

Buy a course.

"I can't afford it".

Attend masterminds, conferences and seminars.

"I can't afford it"

Pay for mentorships.

"I can't afford it"

Invest in yourself.

"I can't afford it"

But unfortunately, this same set of people always seem to magically produce money out of thin air, for example:

• Whenever they want to buy the latest clothes or bags or shoes,
• Or when they want to buy aso ebi,
• Or when they want to go out and "flex",
• And so on.

Smh 😒

Although in truth, there are some people that actually don't have the money to afford some of these things,

But this mindset of "I can't afford it" is always huge hindrance.

Instead of saying that, do this.

Ask yourself (or people close to you):

"How Can I Afford It?"

And the reason is because the former statement shuts up your mind/brain and makes it lazy and to conform to what your mouth has said.

(Remember, you are what you say.)

Meanwhile the latter question opens up your mind/brain and helps it to start thinking of ways to raise the money for whatever you need it for.

When you sincerely ask yourself this question, you will notice a surge of new ideas that will begin to flood your brain. 💡⚡

(Make sure you write them down and take action on them quickly.)

And pretty soon, sooner rather than later,

If you put your mind to it, you will be able to afford it.

Besides we all know that at the end of the day,

If something is really important to you, you will find a way to raise the money.

Because "when there is a will, there is a way".

So the next time you come across a course or training (or anything at all in life) that you want to gain access to,

And you don't seem to have the money at the moment,

Don't say "I can't afford it". ❌❌❌

Instead say "How Can I Afford It?". ✅✅✅

That way, you will find it easier to raise the money you need.

May God help us all.
