As human beings the sense of comparison lies within us, which is definitely not a bad thing it makes us works hard and helps us become a better individual in terms of earnings, job and etc. But there is a small border line difference between comparison and jealousy or envy. Comparing yourself with some third person and thinking that oh man one day I’ll have this or that is totally different than thinking that why does someone have this, and I don’t have this, and I never get anything this is known jealousy and maintain this hairline difference and staying behind the border of competition or comparison might be tough. In the fast growing world we all do come across thoughts of why don’t I have this or I will never have this etc but we are much richer than what we think of. Richness cannot be described with the no. of zeroes in your bank balance or the no. of acres of your house is on. Remember that “Money cannot buy you happiness”.
Below are 7 things and if you have either of them believe me you are more rich than several of people out there.
1-Parents

If you are blessed to have Mom and Dad in your life then you are more than just blessed. You are extremely lucky to have these two people by your side, they will love you no matter what, they’ll be there for you whenever you need them and they are always your first and last backup plan. There are people out there who are deprived of this gift of God and there lives are nothing except the dua’s of them.You are whatever you are because of them. Love your parents, go Hug them
2.Family Life and Friends
Having a happy contended and loving family is all you need. If your parents love each other and are happy then Thank God twice life of people with broken homes and relationships is nothing but miserable not because it is that way but because of the impression it leaves on you, No matter how big the house is it’s the people inside it who make it or break it.Multi Billionaires with no, literally no family are alive and they are nothing but shallow personalities. Feel blessed if you have a bunch of people you call family. Though every family has its ups and downs but at the end of the day we are there for each other. The most important thing about having a happy family life is the love those four walls generate when together. Having good friends is rare nowadays, if you have minimum two people and they actually matter to you and you matter to them you are so lucky to have them. People are committing suicides because of betrayals, loneliness, being alone gossips and what not.Enjoy the fact that you have friends and remember the quality matters over quantity. The simpler the better.
3.Food and clean drinking Water

We all go like I don’t want to eat this to I don’t like this but trust me if you have food in front of you on your platter and you don’t go to bed empty stomach because of crisis Thank God as many times as you can. There are babies dying due to hunger. Contaminated water is causing millions of deaths; there is no food or water supply because of the famine and draught. Entire countries are dying of hunger and starve. Apart from that People cannot afford a single meal a day due to the financial crunch they are going through. Save every drop of water because some even crave for a single drop.
4.Clothes to wear.
We live in an extremely brand conscious society but for me if we have clothes to wear

and even if they are from the most random shop down the lane, be confident in
wearing that. I think that any brand does not describe you , its you, yourself. Remember villages and rural people still cover themselves from sacks and fish nets.
5.Shelter

Having a roof to live under is another most important blessing of God. Homeless babies and people die due to the cold, rain, Snow and many other extreme weather conditions. Similarly having a home does not mean that you should be the owner of that property legally. If you have a place to live if it’s a room or a small cabin or a house on rent or anything but that’s your shelter you are richer than many out there.
6.Health
We as youth ignore that how blessed we are to have a healthy mind in a healthy body

. People our age are suffering from dreadful diseases like cancers. Though they are warriors but we ignore the value of this health. There are people with imputed legs, fingers, hands, arms etc and still making through life. If you have two feet to walk on, and to hand raise them towards God and thank Him for all that He has given you.
7.Education,

if you go to any school, big or small, private or government be thankful for having the privillage of education half of our country is deprived of the right of education. their are people who cant afford schooling. and if you are blessed to go to schools or colleges know the worth of your education or degree.
The reason to write all this down is that we as humans ignore the amount of blessings we have and how rich we are. Money is just a paper and there are thousands of them printing out there daily, but that cannot buy you any specific amount of satisfaction and happiness. Stay happy within and with whatever you have. Remember there are people who don’t even have this.
Love
