How to Spot Poverty Consciousness? Part 2

Once you recognize the symptoms of poverty consciousness and realize that you are demonstrating those symptoms it becomes very easy to get rid of them and move towards prosperity consciousness.

Most of the people in this world when they stay in a hotel stuff the toothpaste, lotions, and shampoos in their bags before check out. This does not happen only with people from a particular country but is a global phenomenon. A survey was conducted internationally and hotel owners from Europe and Americas have reported that their guests have robbed them with mattresses, televisions, iron, electric kettles, paintings, etc. I was really surprised when I read it. I mean how guests can take away mattresses without the hotel knowing about it. But believe it or not this is the truth.

Why do people behave this way? The reason is simple, they want to maximize on the tariffs they have paid to the hotel. In their minds this is just value for money or worse still they feel that the hotel is anyways running on huge profits which itself is a crime and robbing them of whatever they can is a way to get back to them for their crimes (profits). Very few people realize that most big hotels operate at wafer thin margins and even if they do earn good profits it is the fruit of the huge investments they have made.

The fact is that this behavior stems out of poverty consciousness. How can someone who does not appreciate other person’s wealth and profit be able to generate the same for oneself?

The other reason is the mindset of scarcity. What if we go to a hotel in future where they do not furnish a soap in the bathrooms? We should stuff this in the bags for such situations.

I know it is a touchy subject but if you display such behavior just recognize it as that of poverty consciousness. This acceptance in itself will move you towards prosperity consciousness.
