Rich or Poor?

Are you Rich, or are you Poor?
Look at yourselves closely, and look beyond your financial success.
Are you happy? Do you have a good circle of friends and family?
Are you happy in your daily work?
Do your friends and family respect you, for who you are, and not for what you have?
Do you have a higher purpose in life, or do you seek out only things in the world?
Man often determines whether you are rich or poor, based on what assets you hold.
I hope today, you will look beyond what man thinks of being rich and poor.
I've often thought, a roof over our heads, food in our mouths, and good health, is
a good starting foundation of being rich. 
Surround yourselves with people, whom care about you as an individual. 
Do not let work control you, but rather, you take control of your work. 
Learn to control Debt, do not let Debt control your life.
There is a saying, "Debt" is a rich man's trap.
​Do not fall in their trap, to merely become a slave to work.
Take control of your free time, always following and do something
that makes you happy and brings you joy.
Like many things in life, being Rich or Poor, is often decided by our choices.
Do not focus on the things you do not have, but focus on what you have. 
Riches can be found in Simplicity.
Simplicity, will not cost you a fortune, nor is simplicity difficult for one to build. 
Do not let the world overwhelm you. 
Start small in all things that you do.
At the end of the day, in what ever you do, pursue happiness, over riches. 
For if you achieve happiness in life, you will have achieved a greater wealth than
most men will ever find. 
Happiness, is man's greatest resource, but one he often neglects to search for.   
Choose happiness, in all you do, so your life will be filled and blessed in richness.
Neglect in searching for happiness, and you are sure to find poverty.
