"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 would have asked of life,
Life would have willingly paid."
Jessie B Rittenhouse
It is a shame that more people don't understand the meaning poem this and the control they have over their own life and destiny. It seems that most people are some how comfortable being miserable, in the life that they have chose and continue to choose for them self. There are so many people with completely able body and mine, that have paralyzed them selves by believing that the life that they are living is not in their own control. Meanwhile, there are physically and mentally handicapped people that are doing amazing things, simply because they have chose their own direction and strive everyday to achieve more.
The only difference between that have's and have not's is how they manage or fail to manage the six inches between their ears. If you are not where you want to be if life, YOU have the power to change your reality. There are a lot of tools, books, and people that can help you once you have made the decision to change your course.
The first step is to believe in your self and have a esire to manage the Little Voice in your head.

Who Do You Spend Most of Your Time With?
Are you putting your self in a winning environment?
The quickest way to change your life is to change your friends and associations. There is a lot of people that I talk to that are really trying to better their life and become more successful, but they continue to hang out with the same people that they always have, so that get the same results they they always have. I have heard that your success level is the average of the 6 people you send the most time with.
A funny thing about human nature is that most people, at least on a subconscious level, will try to hold the friends and family to their own level success and understanding rather than assisting them to rise up to another level. If a person hears about or has an idea that might propel him above the people he most associates with, and then goes to these people to advise him on what to do with this idea, those people will probably shoot down that idea as risky or unproven.
A funny thing that I learned is that you can put one crab in a pan or container with short sides on it and that crab will easily crawl away. But when you put two or more crabs it that same containment, none of them will ever escape because if one tries to leave the others will always hold them back. Humans are not that much different.
Look around you. If you are driven to be more successful and you are that most successful person in you group of friends and associates, you have a problem. I order to break free and continue your assent to your goals, you may first need to find new friends and associates that are at a higher level that you are, so that they can bring you up to their level. Change can be uncomfortable, but if you continue to live in the same environment with the same people and associations, you will probably keeping getting the same results, regardless of your desires. Find and associate with people that are moving up in the same direction as you desire and life will be much easier.
