Start From Today and Go Forward

Remember, no more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty. A great poet has correctly stated this universal truth through these lines:

"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."

*
