I Deserve It — Fame, Riches, Sex

Daily Meditation 225— 11/12/2023

“I deserve this promotion and raise. Much more than anyone else!”
“I deserve to be paid this living wage and union protection.”
“I deserve this child support.”
“I deserve to take a sick day off.”
“I deserve to have a beautiful spouse, not some 5 out of 10!”
“I deserve to be rich, to be famous…”
“I deserve to be fit and attractive.”

Such entitlement abounds — in all of us.

While you (or I) may not feel “entitled” to any of these specifics, we certainly have many things in our lives we feel entitled to.

Maybe you’re unattractive. You’re overweight, have bad skin, bad eating habits, have no personality, and don’t make much money…
Yet you feel you (and maybe everyone!) “deserve” or are entitled to an attractive mate.

Maybe you’re poor. You’ve got common skills, no drive or ambition, overindulge in alcohol and drugs regularly, and don’t volunteer or give back…
Yet you feel you(and maybe everyone!) “deserve” or are entitled to riches and wealth (however one defines whatever that is…)
