"I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer, 
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid."
I first came across this poem in Napoleon Hill’s classic ‘Think and grow Rich’ years ago, and it just about spoke volumes to me. I love it! Every time, I recognize that I am asking for peanuts, or pennies I am quickly reminded that ‘this world really is my oyster’!
How about you? What exactly do you want in your life? Think big, and know that ‘whatever you ask for, you will receive’.
