    About this ebook

    What are your hopes and wishes for the rest of your life? We all must live in hope, and most of us hope for something more.
    It might be more money, more happiness , more love, more possessions, more beauty, more serenity, more friends. What is the something more that you desire?
    Perhaps you need to think about it. Sometimes we just know we want a better life, but haven't pin-pointed exactly what would make it better. Life's riches come in many forms and abundance is not just for the wealthy.
    Do you feel that life could be better? That perhaps it could have more meaning?
    The award-winning and bestselling author, Brian Morgan, has created something very special, something unique, and he wants to share it with you.
    You see, Brian is the richest man in the world. What? You thought it was Warren Buffet or Bill Gates? Nah, it's Brian Morgan and you'll see that when you read his book. You'll also discover (and this is where it gets a little weird) that YOU are rich. No, no, don't go away, you really ARE rich, even if you don't know it.
    What makes a person rich? Perhaps we'd all like to be rich, but just haven't thought about how to be rich, or even exactly what it means to be rich. Brian Morgan has thought about these things and his thoughts are truly inspiring.
    Riches come in many forms and you will surely be surprised to discover how many forms of riches you already possess. Really.
    Perhaps you are feeling very low right now. Perhaps you've lost everything in a disaster. Perhaps you feel that nothing good will ever come your way. Perhaps you are struggling to hope for anything at all in life. This book brings hope. It brings a feel-good sensation you may not have felt for a while. And, yes, it brings riches. For you.

    Brian Morgan

    30 years in my trade and I have had the pleasure of meeting so many lovely people. As a man of strong principles, I soon decided to work for myself. I’m an experienced and skilled kitchen fitter, thriving on completely satisfied customers. However, nothing annoys me more than trivial complaints when there are so many in the world with so little! As an optimist in life, I always try to focus on what I have, not what I don’t; always trying to see the good in others and aspiring to help others whenever I can. Who knows what I’ll do next!

      A Song of Service

      If all my pain and all my tears,

      And all that I have learned

      Throughout the years

      Could make one perfect song

      To lift some fallen head

      To light some darkened mind,

      I should feel that not in vain

      I served mankind.

      Marguerite Few

      Introduction

      What is it you most want out of life right now? Is there something you secretly wish for, or dream of, that would change your life? What would it take to elevate your lifestyle and lift your spirits? Would you like to be rich?

      Well, this book has promised to show you that you are already rich. OK, I'm down under in Australia and I can hear you from here. Some of you are laughing and some are gnashing your teeth! But bear with me a while and I'll show that you have what I've promised you: riches beyond your dreams, treasure beyond your imaginings.

      Please be patient and you will be rewarded. I know that, for many, things may not look so rosy just now, but I agree with actor Peter Sellers, who said this: Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.

      Sellers went through plenty of lean times, but riches came, and came in more ways than one. They will come for you, just from reading this book.

      There are, of course, many kinds of riches, as we shall see.

      I know you probably think that someone like Warren Buffet or Bill Gates is the world's richest man, but I'll tell you what I believe. I believe that I am the richest man in the world, and I'll tell you why in this book.

      Furthermore, I've made it my mission to not only share my wealth with you, but to show you how you are already rich. Benjamin Disraeli said the greatest good you can do for others is not just to share your riches, but to reveal to them their own. I agree.

      When you finish reading You Are Already Rich, you'll want to go back and read it again for the treasure that has been exposed. This is because you may not see it all at first, though it will come to you in time, and with it will come treasure I haven't even thought of. You will see riches that I do not.

      Seeing with the heart

      Famed French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. When I first heard this concept of seeing with the heart, I was stopped in my tracks with the beauty and simplicity of it. As the great Russian writer and master of the human psyche, Fyodor Dostoevsky, said: Only the heart knows how to find what is precious.

      I laughed once, long ago, when a work colleague called me the Philosopher of the Everyday. I laughed because I was a little uncomfortable and didn't really know what he meant. I assumed that he was having a bit of fun at my expense. More than a quarter of a century later, as I was writing this book, I remembered the incident and thought, well, a philosopher is one who loves wisdom, and I certainly love seeking the wisdom of the ages. And the everyday part keeps my feet on the ground, so perhaps my old friend had something.

      To be a philosopher, said Henry David Thoreau, is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but to so love wisdom as to live, according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust.

      I think you and I can manage that, don't you?

      Prolific author Deepak Chopra tells a story his mother used to tell him when he was young. She spoke of a goddess of wisdom and a goddess of wealth.

      If you chase the goddess of wisdom, she said, the goddess of wealth will become jealous and chase you.

      It seems that Chopra has been seeking the goddess of wisdom ever since, and the goddess of wealth has certainly found him. We might do well to follow his lead.

      A wonderful world

      The leader of India after the separation from Pakistan was Jawaharlal Nehru. This was a man who saw more hardship and bloodshed than most of us ever will, yet his view of the world was not altogether bleak.

      "We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty,
