That feeling of entitlement

I just discovered that there's a reason why we can't deal with our misery. Why we bitch and complain and refuse to accept it when things are not going our way. Its all because of a false sense of entitlement.

Some of us are born thinking we're entitled to all the good things and none of the bad. Well maybe not born with it, but the feeling definitely develops over the years, especially for those of us who've got everything on a platter and not really had to work hard.

And then bam, there comes a time when we're on our own and responsible for our own lives. And thats when things can get messed up, because for most of us, its the first time we're ever really had to make an effort. And then we get angry with the world because oh my God, everything's not magically falling into place like it always has.

Get this...its not going to. Things are going to go wrong because they're meant. You can't always have things work out for you. You just have to suck it up and move on. Because you're not entitled to a good life always...there are bad times and good times. Though you think these are bad times, they're not. You're just being cranky and spoilt. Don't be. This is the time that will shape you and make you what you truly are. So enjoy it...you're not entitled. This is the first time you're having to question your life and thats a good thing. Because...its only when you start to question that you can receive answers that really matter.
