We are brainwashed to understand 'rich' means more money and money can buy anything.
Suppose you are an artist. You can draw anything you see; anyone you see in minutes. You enjoy doing colour painting. You are able to appreciate the paintings done by others. Then definitely you rich in this field. No millionaire can buy your talent or enjoyment.
Say you are 70 years. You have not gone to hospital for any reason. You are still going strong. Then you are very rich health wise. No rich man can buy your heart or kidney. Say you are having ultra small car. But you have driven the car for more than 100000 kilometers and enjoyed each ride. Another man has BMW. He has neither driven the car (out of fear) nor traveled in the car much (ill-health). Who is rich?
Singer, composer, writer, software coder, architect, teacher, fashion designer, any one who enjoys his job is rich. Money cannot buy it.
Cricket is a million dollar industry. For those who do not enjoy the game, it is just a waste of time. The achievements in the game is nothing for them. Only the players who have gone to the ground knows the value and enjoyment of the game.
You can develop your own creativity and richness. God has blessed you with one such richness. You have to discover .
Say your friend has become famous statewide since he is a politician. He earned more money then you. You think , he is rich and successful.
You may not be known beyond your street. But you have published one science paper. Scientists in many countries respect and refer your 'paper'. One day, it will come to the science text book and you will be remembered for ever.
The other man may be rich in his own way. But you are also rich and successful in you own arena. God has not given everything to one person but something to all. Discover it. Live rich and colourful life. Do not envy anybody. You may not have their richness. But you have your own richness that cannot be bought.
