Have you ever wondered why you have been able to achieve what you have been able to achieve in your life today?
Have you for once inquired into the reason why the person next to you have been able to produce the result that he or she is enjoying today?
Have you heard about the richest person in the world?
Have you heard that a person is the most beautiful girl in the world?
Have you ever wondered why a poverty-stricken, 12-year-old boy from a war ravaged country of Africa or middle east who found himself in the midst of fortunate kids from well to do families in Europe and America would outsmart his mates academically?
Have you ever also wondered why a child from an influential home could out-perform all his or her mates and become the best pupil academically?
The reason simply is because every one of such people cited above including you possess great wealth in them.
You don't need to wonder again, Dude; because they wouldn't have been able to achieve what they have achieved if they do not already have the potential to achieve it in them. In other words, you, me or any one else have been able to achieve whatever we have been able to achieve only because we have the wealth in us. We have the abilities in us. We have what it takes in us.
I said every one of us possess "wealth in us". Yes, I said "Wealth" .You heard me right. And you may be wondering how come human beings possess wealth in them. For a clarification and to quell your curiosity, let us try a definition of wealth.

What is wealth?
Whenever we hear the word "wealth" what readily come to our mind is the abundance of physical assets such as cars, money, house and other material possessions.
Now, according to an online dictionary, wealth simply means the abundance of valuable possessions.
Mark that phrase,"Valuable possessions"
That phrase, valuable possessions do not mean only material possessions but include other intagible possessions.
So, when I say that there is wealth in every one of us, what I mean is that there exist inside everyone of us abundance of valuable possession.
The word "valuable" means priceless. Something that is very important. And it is not just that we have all these in us, but we have them in abundance.
Before we go ahead, i would like us to take a look at two synonyms of wealth.
There are many synonyms of wealth, but these two are apt to the context we are discussing and will help to give more insight into how wealth exist in every human being.
The two synonyms are;
Well-being and
Resources
Well-being is a sound state of health. It is not a material wealth but it is a state of health that can be transformed into material wealth. No wonder they say that health Is wealth. This means that it is people who are in a state of well-being that are able to generate wealth. It means that people who are healthy possess wealth.
On the other hand, human resources is also not a material wealth but are qualities, virtues or attributes possessed by man which when utilised can generate or be transformed into physical or material wealth.
Now, real wealth is not the material wealth which we normally focus on.
Real wealth are those wealth in raw form such as well-being and human resources.
Many people struggle in life because they focus on the material wealth rather than on the real wealth which are in the formless state.
People who possess material wealth are those who have been able to make a good combination and the right manipulation of the real or formless wealth in its raw state and transformed it into the physical wealth.
And that is why I have always said, that, "The foundation of success is the wealth in you"

May be you are one of those who believe in fate like I do. But fate cannot produce wealth without substances.
And if fate is responsible, why is it that my village has not produced the richest man in the world? Or is it that people from my village are not fated to be the richest person in the world? But mind you, there is abundance of wealth in everyone of us though in a formless state but can be transformed into the tangible wealth at any time. And one day someone from my village will be the richest person in the world. That's by the way.

Now, nature made us to be strong enough to do things that astound us. We are intrinsically made with unfathomable wealth and abilities. The wealth and abilities that we cannot exhaust within the period we are to live on earth.
I know about a man called Roger Banister, a British athletes who at that time was a medical student. In the year 1954, he shattered world record in athletics. He was able to complete a mile under four minutes. A feat that was considered impossible before he did it.
What about Edmund Hillary, the New Zealand mountineer who in 1953 was able to reach the summit of mount everest after several attempts by others failed. And after he broke the jinx, more people have been able to climb and reach the summit of the everest successfully.
Another fellow who exhibited the existence of wealth in him was Thomas Edison. The man who persisted in inventing the incandescent lamp despite failing 9,999 times before getting the lamp correctly. There are many others who have utilised the wealth in them.
The raw or formless wealth that the people mentioned above possess are; Discipline, courage, self confidence, wisdom, well being and etc. All the above mentioned wealth in their raw or formless form were transformed into physical or material wealth for the people mentioned above. If they were not healthy (well being), disciplined, courageous, wise and etc, they won't have been able to accomplish all that they accomplished.

All the above examples are what man's physical abilities can accomplish through the use of the wealth in them if given extra exertion.
Truly, it was an extra exertion of the ability in them that made them to produced the extra effect. But there wouldn't have been an extra effect if the wealth do not exist already. So, extra effect was produced because there exist in the system an unexplored or an unsed wealth in a formless state.
What about man's mental or psychological abilities. I have read that man's mental abilities are so vast that an average person uses only 3% of his mental abilities within his life time.
Albert Einstein coined an equation(e=mc2) that defied every effort by the most intelligent physicists to solve. But that was not a feat beyond human capacity to unravel. For after ten good calender years of thinking and brainstorming Einstein, the genius himself was able to solve the equation. An equation that revolutionised the way scientists and technologists think.
The question is, "where did the ability to solve the equation come from? Of course, it didn't come from any where outside the human brain which seems to be the sit of the real wealth in us. Which connotes that there exist in the brain of each and everyone of us unexploited powers or abilities which are ready to do their work and be transformed to physical wealth if evoked.
What about the human ability to endure or bear hardship or pain or discomfort of all types?
What about the human ability to put up with or endure shame and disgrace of or all types and intensity?
What about the ability to insist on getting what you want in spite of the difficulties or the challenges that come with it. Inspite of the sacrifices that it demands. And inspite of the length of time that it requires?
The truth and nothing but the whole truth is that these abilities exist in us. And it's not that they just exist, they are action-ready waiting for us to call them up and be transformed into material wealth.
Once again, these abilities are inside of us even in excess but we never called them to action. And that's why they never worked for a lot of us.
Now, if all these raw wealth exist in everyone of us. Why is it that some people fail? People fail because of the way they are programmed.
Programming.
The majority of our problems lies with how we are programmed.
Some time ago, I took an introductory course in computer programming. In that course, we learnt how to configure or shape the computer. Not the physical structures or hard wares, by the soft wares aspect of the computer. The course is all about programming the computer. That is; giving the computer modus operandi, limits or scope of what it can or should do and what it cannot or should not do.
Originally, thecomputer has the potential to work in other ways but it won't make use of such potential powers because of the way it has been programmed. And so , it can only work in sync to the way it has been pre-programmed. It can only work according to the way it is programmed.
We human beings operate in a similar form. We perform to the extent at which we are programmed to perform.
The programming of every human starts from the day he or she was born. We are programmed by what we heard, what we saw, how we were treated and how others were treated.
All that experiences became our reality or our model of what life is all about. They become our model of how to act. Such experiences peogrammed us and dictates how we react to events. Our programming dictates how we respond to issues ranging from criticism to commendation. From success to failure. It controls how we go about pursuing our dreams.
It controls the amount of effort we put in while trying to reach our dreams and maximize the wealth in us. It controls how we percieve others. It controls how we relate to others. It controls how we view other peoples' opinions about us. It controls our resistance to discomforting situation. It controls what we do in order to overcome challenging situation.
Everything we do is controlled by how we are progeammed to do things.
Like the computer, we possess other abilities or potentials to do more than we are doing currently, but we are limited by our programming codes.
Like we saw in the examples of people who were able to achieve beyond the so called "normal" by exerting extra effort, it is also possible for you to achieve extra by exerting extra effort because ability and the abilty to exert extra effort and achieve extra exist in you. The nitty-gritty here is that there are extra abilities in you. There is an unexplored area or a fallow ground in you. You are only limited by your programming. You can do more if you change your programming codes or syntax to give room for producing the extra wealth which exist in you.
