Don’t ever catch yourself saying, “I deserve…”
Whenever I hear that phrase it immediately triggers me. You may want something, you may have worked hard for something, but you don’t “deserve” anything. That feeling – the feeling of entitlement – leads to dangerous mindset. Once you start feeling entitled, you begin to appreciate things less and take what you have for granted. Suddenly, what you have isn’t a blessing, but a right to have it. Instead of feeling grateful, you feel unsatisfied. A sense of entitlement can lead to a rotten life.
