Financially speaking, things are rough worldwide, but in some countries, it is worse. For instance, in my country, my monthly budget for food has gone 5 times from what it was in the last two years. In a country of over 220 million people, the average person can attest to one thing: the common thing among people living within a 5 km radius of them is poverty. For context, even on the Island of Lagos, where the rich live, they can see people living in abject poverty opposite them.
A lot of us want to give; in fact, we have a heart to give, but we do not have what to give. Truth is that money is a means of value exchange created by humans to make exchange easier, but when you experience a level of lack or poverty, for lack of a better word, the definition of money changes. We now see money from a different perspective, without thinking about value exchange; we just want to get rich.
The first thing to do is to uncover your value. You need to discover your value. Measuring value is not about the current amount of money you have. We cannot use our financial situation to determine our value. Because you are not financially capable does not mean you are not valuable or inferior.
One thing that we need to work on is creating value from what we have. Exploring that little thing you think you have can become something great if used properly. A dog to a goat is useless, but to a dog means a lot. You need to understand needs and how to tailor your skills to their needs.
