Improve your lot

The world is just, on the whole its fair
And you get what you deserve
So when you wonder where the money is
You're at the bottom of a learning curve

When you realise success is in the penthouse
And there is no lift to that floor
You'll understand the simple rule,
That you toil if you want more

But you're at the start of a successful journey
From this awakening can commence your learning
With the right set of of tools in your locker
You can realise your potential for earning

Understand that your life is your doing
The results are all down to you
Not to your folks nor your teachers
Not the lost chances you rue

There are opportunities still sat all about you
The biggest of those are within
And there they will stay as potential
Unless you get up and begin

But beginning is exactly that
It's a start and not a solution
Don't be swayed by detractors
Protect your mind from their verbal pollution

Stay focussed on your goals every day
Leave nothing of your time to chance
The first step it the most important one
So take it and make things advance

you're a genius with untold potential
So show it in all that you
Study your field every day
Keep pushing if you want to break through

No one is better than you
You're an equal of all other greats
don't spend time with the simple
Make all of the masters your mates

Aim high but break it all down
into to stages and realistic steps
Divide symphonies into learn-able bars
And your six pack into small sets of reps

And so as I write this I am learning
And these verses are notes to myself
I'll improve my lot, and reach new heights
In work in family and in wealth
