I wish I read this sooner and understood its veracity. Here it is:
“I bargained with Life for a penny,
and Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;
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”
― Jessie B. Rittenhouse
Belief in yourself is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you believe you don’t deserve good things or high values or tons of money, you’ll never have them. If you expect it and set it and accept your high value or high income or tremendous things, you can not only have them, they will flow to you: quickly and easily.
Believe in yourself and never feel like you don’t deserve anything. The only thing worse than setting a target too high is setting one too low.
The other tenet on this topic that is amazing to understand is that there is limitless wealth in the world. Wealth is not finite. If you make $10,000,000 a year, you are not taking $10,000,000 from someone else.
Internalize this. Expect Great things! Enjoy.
