How To Get More Out of Life

Yesterday, we spoke of the whiners, the gripers and the complainers - all those people who are not happy with what they get in life but are more than happy to tell you all about it. The funny thing is that they are getting exactly what they asked for!

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 paid.

~ Jessie Belle Rittenhouse

If you want to get more out of life, ask for it!

But most people don't ask for more. They usually just complain to those people who can do nothing about what they are complaining about. People who are unhappy with their wages or their working environment go home and complain to their spouses. People who are unhappy with their spouse go to work and complain to their co-workers. People who are unhappy with their financial situation complain to their families about how broke they are. Why don't they go to the source of their problem and ask for it to be better?

Fear! That's why! Whether it is fear of rejection, fear of being alone, fear of being laughed at, etc. But as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "He (or she) who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life." And the only way to conquer fear is to take a chance and do the thing you are afraid of doing.

So, if you are sick and tired of the wages you have been receiving in any area of your life, quit complaining about it and just ask for something better!
