Blog Action Day - Poverty

I am sure my thoughts on poverty are going to be different than what most bloggers will be writting about today. On of the books I read and try to follow is 'The Science of Getting Rich' by Wallace Wattles.
'To look upon the appearances of poverty will produce corresponding forms in your own mind, unless you hold to the truth that there is no poverty; there is only abundance.

To think health when surrounded by the appearances of disease or to think riches when in the midst of the appearances of poverty requires power, but whoever acquires this power becomes a master mind. That person can conquer fate and can have what he wants. ' - Wallace Wattles
My take on this is that I need to think about wealth and become wealthy. Then I will be an example for others. I will use my wealth to TEACH others to get out of poverty. I do give to my church. I do not believe in handouts, just giving to people. I believe that if someone works for something then they are better off than just giving it to them.
