I am Rich, You Are Rich, We Are Rich

How many times do we find ourselves languishing in self pity, contemplating our self justified poverty? We at times fail terribly in realizing the much that we have within us, the great wealth bestowed upon us by God. We fail to appreciate the great people we are and go as far as demeaning ourselves to the proximity of that of dogs. It is only when some things are taken away from us or see someone without it that some of us learn to appreciate.

The innate desire of humans is to have the greatest that the world has to offer. The moment we find ourselves not having something and happen to see someone else with the thing, our envy and jealousy is flared up. The process of comparing and contrasting ourselves with others is set into motion and we start seeing ourselves with reference to a set admired person. We start to see what they have and we do not, not seeing what we have and probably they do not.

Some of the things that we have initially look so trivial and simple but in reality they are the most important. The most succinct of them all are the core drivers of our lives and are the sole reason we are alive. Our own bodies are a masterpiece of an accumulation of abundant blessings and abilities. Most of us are able to do everything on our own without the assistance of others, but some exist who can hardly do anything without others. Those of us who can should contemplate this.

For instance, the fact that we are alive and able at this moment is a great think to be thankful for. The universe is so large that an imagination of the processes going on at every moment is astounding. Everyday somewhere, people die because of a variety of causes. We should learn to give thanks and use the opportunities that we have to the fullest. Explore the much that we can when we still are able, for a time may come when we shall no longer be able. The things that we might be having and seeing them as normal could be the daily prayer and dream of somebody somewhere.

Look into your life, identify the little things that you have, your having all the senses, being alive, the things that you own. Be thankful for them. Know that somebody lacks the same things you have. If you can live and be on your own, be thankful and work towards whatever you want because you have got all that you need. Share and give what you can and everyday live in the reality of your bestowment. From this I can say that we all are rich by default.
