Entitlement



Entitlement

Entitlement is the idea that someone owes you
something. My parents should support me, the
government should give me money, my
employer should give me a good raise every
year, my spouse should make me happy.
Notice all the “should”s?
The fact is, the world doesn’t owe you a living,
and you’ll feel better about yourself if you
make your own instead. There’s much more
satisfaction in that.
Rescue

Similar to entitlement, rescue waits for
someone else to save you from your current
situation. Rescue yourself instead—you have
much more control over making it happen, and
you won’t be obligated to anyone.
