The Various Ways to Be Wealthy

We often hear phrases such as "He or she is SO WEALTHY"; They HAVE SO MUCH MONEY: they are BILLIONAIRES.... Or we hear, "THEIR NET WORTH is..." So, CONSIDER: "Bill Gates says, A Newspaper Vendor is Richer than Me - A Beautiful Story": https://youtu.be/cxZsHEdU13w?si=7hhP_OVt-cTwHEy7 (P.S.: my sister has met Bill Gates...) Was St. Francis of Assisi actually QUITE WEALTHY? What about "Grandma Moses", before her paintings started to sell in large numbers? "Grandma Moses - STORYTIME! Never too old to learn how to paint": https://youtu.be/oKIWL-21cbw?si=L_iBOq7Tw3mUX93j "How does it feel to be a monk or a nun? | Ajahn Brahm": https://youtu.be/P13qd14T2Bs?si=5jQQZiZb9qdCSBnf What about Daniel Suelo, or "Suelo", as per the book "The Man Who Quit Money"'? "The Man Who Lived Without Money for a Year": https://youtube.com/shorts/N70UFi6VDaY?si=WChU1cvJDdK7zSlq "Suelo: The Man Who Quit Money": https://youtu.be/qxN74kyZO3c?si=3WmwF-cbsJVerX0h "Bill Gates reflects on being the richest person on earth": https://youtu.be/jAD4S8BVemA?si=3ZiT4EnYDomO7LpZ INDEED, perhaps HAVING GREAT COURAGE and LOYALTY to OTHERS, is a FORM of GREAT WEALTH: For consider the story of Shackleton: "The Endurance Shackleton Documentary 2000": https://youtu.be/5GhwX-dw2X8?si=STNgbDPzfvrNnhT0 (This version is promoted by the family of Shackleton, and has some rave comments by viewers): "I have watched this doc countless times, and every time its so impressive. By far the most amazing story of survival, told so well by Liam Neeson." Leem Neeson was in the following movie, incidentally: "Schindler's List (1993) Official Trailer - Liam Neeson, Steven Spielberg Movie HD": https://youtu.be/gG22XNhtnoY?si=6Y770o9ol2G38g1R See too, a movie with Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman, and Jennifer Lopez: "An Unfinished Life (12/12) Movie CLIP - A Reason for Everything (2005) HD": https://youtu. be/L6FYDW1TC4g?si=5JdGeqziCCQPsp-O This audiobook is created by someone who has a degree in electrical engineering; studied Mathematics at the half-time level for four years, and only Math, starting at the age of 41; and who utilized a software program called SuperMemo to achieve perhaps unheard-of levels of learning by such means, implied Piotr Wozniak, the man who designed the software. It is also created by someone who was brought up in the Plymouth Brethren Church, just as Daniel Suelo was, mentioned above. Even Napoleon Hill, toward the end of his book, "Think and Grow Rich", claimed that there is more than one way to measure wealth. Marie Forleo also, talks of having various METRICS, by which to measure wealth. So, consider: if we all want POWER, and if we thus want to be HAPPIEST by MAXIMAL APPLICATION of POWER, is there in fact MORE than ONE TYPE - one GROUP - of POWER TOOLS? Might POWER over anything and everything, come in either EXTERNAL or INTERNAL TOOLS we hold or don't hold? Is MONEY - or CONVENTIONAL Power - a form of EXTERNAL Power - whereas the INTERNAL Tools for Power, are COGNITIVE in function? (Sometimes called "RICH in SPIRIT" - Power; or, "PEACE that Passeth All Understanding"-based Power; or "CONTENTMENT"-based Power; or "SERENITY"-based Power? Or "SPIRITUAL"-based Power?) In a sense, the POWER of BEING ABLE TO FIGURE THINGS OUT, or SEE things MOST ACCURATELY, also, in general? WORD-Power? REASONING-Power? The POWER to "ACCEPT" WHATEVER HAPPENS? The POWER from NOT FEELING SHAME, OR GUILT? Indeed, the "Serenity Prayer" talks of "ACCEPTANCE" as a key part of life. Might the very CAPACITY to ACCEPT - starting with the very DEFINITION OF "acceptance" - as I TALK of, in this audiobook - be a TYPE of WEALTH, and in turn, BASED upon INTERNAL POWER, from a FORM of COGNITIVE PROCESSING of Reality that is VERY ACCURATE and VERY OPTIMAL, in turn?
