Imagine this:
You’re rowing across a river.
Then suddenly, another boat crashes into you.
You get angry instantly. Your heart rate spikes.
You’re ready to shout:
You reaction wasn’t about the event.
It was about the meaning you gave to it.
Psychology calls this:
Attribution.
Your brain automatically assigns intent:
“They disrespected me.”
“They did it on purpose”
They’re trying to hurt me.”
But most of the time, the story isn’t true…
What if the “other boat” is:
- Stressed
- Overwhelmed
- Distracted
Or simply…dealing with their own pan.
They’re not trying to attack you.
They’re just navigating their own storm.

Poverty does not just take your money.
It takes your BELIEF that you have options.
And the moment you stop believing you have options you stop making choices.
And the moment you stop making choices someone else starts making them for you.
