How the middle class mentality is killing you from inside

This is the story of a part my life where I was about to get sucked into the void of typical middle class mentality. To explain it in short, if you have dreams like : getting good grades, getting a high paying job for rest of your life while hanging out on the weekends, do the job till 60 and then retire, I am sorry to say but are stuck in an endless void of mediocrity. In this article , I will show you how the middle class mentality kills from inside and the steps to escape it

1. How the middle class mentality kills from Inside

When I was a kid, I was same as every other kid in this world, I dreamed of being a rich businessman who had a private yatch and a Lamborghini to ride through the town. These dreams were mine when I was 5 years old, but as time slowly passed, I gradually forgot all those dreams, till I was 16. I think went deep into the void of middle class mindset. When I was 12 years old, while walking with my dad in front of a shopping complex, we saw a white Lamborghini Aventador passing by at full speed. Suddenly somehow, the child Inside me woke up for a moment and I said to my dad “hey dad look, what an amazing car, I like it so much, I’ll definitely buy it some day in the future” and then, my dad replied with a typical middle class statement : “son, you have to start living in the reality, those cars are for the rich”.

Just because I was small, I thought that because my dad has more experience than me, he maybe right and then the kid inside me went to another sleep for 4 years. Four years later, when I was 16, while I was out there at a book market buying new books for my school, I saw a book called “Rich Dad Poor Dad”. I requested my dad and was somewhat successful in buying it.

This was the breaking point of my life. This was the point where the child inside me was gonna wake up forever and take control over my mind by killing the middle class mentality monster that had been created by my parents, teachers and my fellow friends. I was in shock for 2 days because random thoughts came to mind like “How was I sleeping for this long?” and affirmations like “I will never let this child inside me sleep again, because if I do, I will be a slave to the middle class mentality monster for my whole life”.

And sadly, many people don’t even wake up. For god’s sake, the child inside me was just unconscious, but for many people, the child inside them is killed by the monster created by their surroundings. Take example of my friend : After I woke up from the trap, when I was at the park playing football with some friends, after the match was over I casually asked one of my best friends “Hey Victor, do you remember when we were kids, we used to say that we will buy a Lamborghini and ride it throughout the city together?” and his reply was : “yeah dude, but that was when we were kids. You know, the real world doesn’t work like that, haven’t you grown up yet?”. I came knew in a glance that the child inside him was long dead. But I still tried to convince him, after a 100 tries, I gave up. I mean, even if you are the best doctor in the world, you can’t treat a dead patient… can you? I was very upset.

So the next decision I made after convincing and getting rejected each and every friend was to leave my friend circle because “YOU CANNOT BE A LION IF YOU HANG OUT WITH TURKEYS”. I started to find people who are woke, or maybe people who never went to sleep, but after a 2 months long attempt of finding a good partner for my entrepreneurial journey, I decided to be alone, I decided to be a lone wolf. I started Improving myself. I started to learn digital marketing from the “Six-Figure Income” program, I started lifting weights, I started attending business seminars and so on. And till date, I never regret being a lone wolf.

2. How to escape the void of the middle class mindset

A good house, a good looking partner, a high paying job and hanging out with your partner on the weekends. This sounds like a dream come true to many people and I have a nickname for these kinds of people : DEAD!!

Yes!! I call them dead, because they intentionally or unintentionally killed the child inside them. Cmon dude, what if god asks you to tell the story of your life? Are you gonna say “I enjoyed my childhood then I passed out of school with good grades, then I passed out of the university with good grades, I got a high paying job and did it for 40 years, then I retired and then I died, and now I am before you”. Even god will be bored by such boring life.

If till now, you made up your mind to escape the middle class mentality, here are the three steps in which you can escape the middle class mentality :

Step 1: Read any self help book or watch any self help video on how to get rich

Although This is not a compulsory step, but I would recommend it to whoever is reading this. Maybe because this is the reason I woke up. Self help content will flush your subconscious with positive thoughts and will make sure you never get back to sleep. The book I personally would recommend will be “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki. Just make sure you do not start getting addicted to it because self help content is quite addictive, maybe you will get benefit from it but wasting all your time reading self help stuff will decrease your actual productivity, you should be focusing more on doing stuff that will make your rich rather that reading stuff that will teach you the right mindset to be rich. You just need to consume enough self help content that will able create a strong sense of hustle and hardwork in your mind

Step 2: Replace your bad habits with good ones

Now, you’ve made a mindset to be rich and get out of the middle class mentality , but what’s next? Next step is to replace your bad (middle class) habits with good (rich) habits because “YOU ARE THE CREATURE OF YOUR HABITS” so you if you need to be rich, you need to make habits like the rich and why replace them instead of directly dropping the bad habits? because you simply can’t drop a habit without replacing it with another one, and that is a fact. So take a month and start replacing your habits. Replace watching Netflix with learning digital marketing, replace going to McDonalds with going to gym and replace drinking coke with drinking fruit juice. This will gradually make you from zero to hero. Learning a new skill will help you earn some racks as well.

Step 3: Stay away from people with middle class mindset

So now you’ve completely understood the first two steps, but those two steps are mere waste of time until you follow this third step. Because even if you start earning through a high-income skill that you learned with dedication or maybe you are the next big fitness model, but all this would mean nothing if you still hangout with middle class minded people. Cause sorry to say, but eventually you will go broke.

It’s not me saying it, it’s a fact!! for eg: Suppose here is a situation where you have collected $10000 by earning through your high income skill, now if you hang out with middle class minded people, they will tell you to buy a new cruiser bike or maybe some expensive jewellery with that money but if you hang out with rich minded people , they will suggest you some investing options which will make your $10000 to become $100000. This simply means “THE MIDDLW CLASS MINDED GIVE ADVICE TO STAY MIDDLE CLASS AND THE RICH MINDED GIVE ADVICE TO BECOME RICH”. So choose your friends wisely.

With that said, thank you for reading this article, hope you enjoyed and learned something new from it.
