From Entitlement To Appreciation

I caught myself again. As I was complaining about my current financial situation, I noticed that I was coming from a place of “you owe me!” I’m not sure who the “you” is in that statement, but it was pretty apparent that belief is running the show.

Even more, I’ve noticed this claim to ownership show up in my relationship, time and time again. I get more caught up in the “you should know” and “I deserve/blame-game” than genuine appreciation for how my partner is available, expresses love and cares about me.

So, is this familiar, dear reader?

Have you ever found yourself claiming entitlement for what you want or what you have?

If you’re conscious of it or not, I would get curious. How have you been keeping yourself at arms length from genuine love or financial freedom? Have you fully claimed 100% responsibility for what you do have and your current life experiences? Have you considered appreciation as an option for getting more of the things you say you want?

Today, I commit to appreciating my life as it is, reaching for more from a place of gratitude.

Try it on, you’ve got nothing to lose but to have even more fun.
