I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening When I counted my scanty score; For Life is just an 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 B.

Today I'm testing out a new "text to speech" app. It provides a simple way to create an audio file or podcast. Let me know what you think? Here's the poem: “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 just an 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 B. Rittenhouse

Brian reads one of his favorite poems called, My Wage from Jessie B. Rittenhouse, which is brought up in one of his favorite books called, The One Thing by Jay Papasan and Gary Keller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvQmKD_UP00 Transcription Life will willingly pay. I am Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. I've got one of my favorite books here. I like talk about this one a lot. It's one that I love going back to and just flipping through and finding random quotes from, The One Thing. Jay Papasan and Gary Keller's book, really good book. It really helps you to focus. I mean, even some of the chapters, I won't it completely agree with whole cloth. But it causes you to think it asks the questions and send you in a direction. And it really is a great challenging book in the sense that it is going to challenge you no matter where you're at in life. And that's what I like about it. So it's one that I like going back to the one thing I wanted to pull out, The One Thing, for you today, though, was this poem, and you've probably heard it before. In fact, I'm pretty sure I heard it before reading this book, but I know it's in this book. So I could always come back to it. It's one of my favorites is by Jessie B. Rittenhouse. It's an older poem, I believe she died in 48, or something like that. So I don't remember where that when the poem is from, I didn't look it up. But previous to that, in 1948. And here it is, real quick. "I bargained with life for a penny, and life would pay no more. However, I begged at evening, when I counted my scanty score for life is just an employer, he gives you what you ask. But once you have set the wages, why you must bear the task. I worked for a menials hire, only to learn dismayed, that any wage I had asked of life, life would have willingly paid." It's a very simple concept. But it's the idea that you need to what? Well, initially, I would say that, it comes down to the thing, Larry Winget, it says, "life is your life is your own damn fault." Right? And so there's a certain amount of responsibility that falls on all of us, especially after we're adults. And we get, like I said, there's lots of fault to be placed all around. And you can say, a whole bunch of things is anybody else's fault. But in the end, it's your responsibility, your life is your responsibility. And really, it's up to you to kind of define where you go next and what you expect from it. The expectation is what makes the biggest difference. And if you expect great things, great things have a greater tendency to happen than if you don't expect great things. You kind of have to define a lot of these things. Things are always going to happen that are out of your control. And they're always going to come out of nowhere, and both good things and bad things. But if you expect great things to happen, oftentimes things will get better. It's a strange thing, and I think it's tied to faith in some way. But you have to expect great things and that that's what this is, this is basically any wage, that you ask why life will willingly pay, I believe that to be true. I believe if you it's not just about this isn't a money thing. This is about what you get out of life, the experiences you get out of life, the meaning you get out of life. If you ask for more, you'll get more, you know, the old knock on the door shall be opened all that, you know, simple concept, simple, ideal idea, and a very, what I think is a beautiful poem that just hits on the simplicity.

Mastermind Quote of the Day Let go of Controls…Michael Neill I love this quote because I can relate (maybe like you) to the idea that we try so hard to control things in our lives so that we feel secure and “in control” of our life. Ultimately, I have learned that what you truly must do for success is Take Action and Allow Space for Attraction…that is all you can do. Today I want to share with you a few things that might inspire you to think about your life and think about making some changes to Create Life You Deserve & You are Capable of Living… These are a couple of Poems I keep close and repeat to myself ofter This first poem called success is often quoted by Les Brown in his closing remarks when he speaks: Success If you want a thing bad enough To go out and fight for it, Work day and night for it, Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it If only desire of it Makes you quite mad enough Never to tire of it, Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it If life seems all empty and useless without it And all that you scheme and you dream is about it, If gladly you'll sweat for it, Fret for it, Plan for it, Lose all your terror of God or man for it, If you'll simply go after that thing that you want. With all your capacity, Strength and sagacity, Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity, If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt, Nor sickness nor pain Of body or brain Can turn you away from the thing that you want, If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it, You'll get it!” ― Berton Braley The next poem I want to share with you is one that conveys a very simple but power fun message. (discuss) “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 just an 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 B. Rittenhouse I want you to truly ask yourself a very important question today…this week: Are you asking and expecting from life what you truly deserve and desire? If not, why not… That is where I recommend you do some work. Thanks for listening today. I look forward to talking with you more this week. George Wright III
