Something that most people fail to realize is that being rich is not all about monetary comfort - there is lot more to it than what meets the eye at first glance. Some of the examples that come to mind are Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie to name just a few. These are the people who re-defined richness and wealth and showed how the term 'rich' could encompass so many other attributes apart from monetary and materialistic wealth. Being rich is not just about having lots of money to spend and laze around throughout the day. It is about leading a life enriched with good physical, mental and emotional health so that you can look forward to each new day with vigor and are ready to face any number of challenges that life might throw in your path. No-one can ever be happy by leading a direction-less life and likewise, if you have purpose and are clear in your objectives then you are probably the wealthiest person alive.
