Faith For Life

I was just having a conversation with someone about the strife one burdens through their 20's, dealing with plans for their future. Decisions having to do with ones career can be much more stressful than those found in your 40's. Simply for the fact that these propositions can lead to either warped and dilapidated or sturdy and self supporting foundations. And when you look at it like that one might produce a head of early grays. Ha, so I read this page recently, and thought I might share.

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."

-Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

And so In the beginning of the summer I asked and stated my purpose. And now doors are opening. Doors I do not think would have been revealed if I had not originally stated my purpose.
If you believe you will receive anything you ask for in prayer. The Bible doesn't lie.
