Once many people have tasted the bitterness of poverty, their hearts are filled with fear. As a result, they find it even harder to truly attain wealth. It's not that there are no opportunities, but when they do arise, they can't see them—because they've already locked their minds. They dare not invest in new possibilities, constantly questioning, "Can this work?" Over time, opportunities will only become more distant.

Really, mindset can trap a person to death. I've seen too many people who have opportunities right in front of them but can't see them, simply because they scare themselves away.

You're absolutely right, mindset is like a curse
The more you fear, the poorer you become; the poorer you become, the more you fear—it's a vicious cycle
Opportunities are right in front of you, but it's useless; your mind is filled with "no way"

To be honest, a poverty mindset is a self-fulfilling curse; the more you fear it, the poorer you become.
