Sometimes we don't have all we desire or the best that our lives has to offer because we won't put in the work or the effort. It's a strange concept to me when people feel deserving of things they haven't earned, a feeling of being entitled. While there are others doing what's needed to get the job done. Have you ever complimented someone on their appearance? That didn't just happen, it takes work and effort to look nice. Or be the best in your field, we are required to give of ourselves in some way. I can't build my understanding of a subject I'm unwilling to study or learn about. Yet, people often expect the results without doing much to earn them. I recall one job I had and being recognized for an award, a co-worker who had been there many years before me was visibly upset. When she commented to her superior his response was , "you haven't done what she's done." Her seniority didn't qualify her for a reward, she wasn't doing the work. Although she felt owed something from the company.
We often go through life with the same attitude and allow jealously to grow within our hearts towards those who are successful. Why not take those feelings and recognize that you can succeed as well? I'm to the point in my life where my focus is primarily on myself. I care about others now more so from a distance, each person is accountable to themselves for themselves. At times you have to recognize when people are satisfied with their lives and have no true desire for change. And that's their right and their business, with that being said they bear full responsibility for the consequences as well. The effort we often pour out upon those we love at times should be reserved for ourselves. I am certain I've written about this topic before and it's worth reading about it once more. Put in the work and reap the benefits, thank you for your time and for reading today's post. Please share with someone you love. And never forget, we are unstuck, and we are free!
