Keith Cameron Smith is the author of the book “The Top 10 Distinctions Between Millionaires and the Middle Class” which addresses the mindset successful people possess that sets them apart from the masses. I subscribe to Keith’s “Wise Distinctions Newsletter,” which has given me the opportunity to learn more about his views on success, as well as read one of his draft manuscripts for a soon to be released book and an outline of another that he is planning. One book idea he shared with me is about the distinctions between Prosperity and Poverty.
Keith was gracious enough to allow me to share his outline with you. I hope you enjoy these distinctions as much as I did.
10. Prosperity flows from your heart - Poverty grows in your mind
9. Prosperity breeds generosity - Poverty breeds selfishness
8. Prosperity promotes peace - Poverty promotes violence
7. Prosperity has a wide perspective - Poverty has a narrow mind
6. Prosperity congratulates others successes - Poverty criticizes others successes
5. Prosperity is the result of patience and perseverance - Poverty is the result of impatience and giving up
4. Prosperity seeks and finds opportunities - Poverty seeks and finds problems
3. Prosperity is being rich in every area of life - Poverty is being out of balance in life
2. Prosperity is the blessing of knowledge - Poverty is the curse of ignorance
1. Prosperity comes through faith in life - Poverty comes through fear of death

Thanks James. I wish I could claim the list as my original work. I’m thankful that Keith allowed me to share it with you.
