We all want our fair share in life but the idea that you’re owed something just because of who you are or being a ‘’know it all’’ can harm your career and personal life.
Why We Feel The World Owes Us Something
Social media fuels mistaken beliefs about self-importance.
Overindulgent parenting prevents children from learning how to accept responsibility for their behavior.
The Problem With A Sense Of Entitlement
You’ll be less likely to work hard when you’re busy complaining that you’re not getting what you’re owed.
When you don’t get everything you want entitlement can lead to feelings of bitterness as you’ll think you were victimized.
How To Not Be Entitled
Develop Self-awareness Of Your Sense Of Entitlement

“I’m not following that law because it’s stupid.”
“I’m more valuable than others.”
“There’s always been something really special about me.”
