You! Yes you! You don't deserve anything.

Yes and I mean it. You reading this do not deserve anything, whether good or bad. The feeling or thought that we deserve anything either from others or the world. The mentality always lead to the cause of one the world's greatest causes of sorrow and heartbreak: disappointment. Thinking that we deserve to be treated good just because we treat other people good leads to expectations, expectations lead to disappointment and disappointment lead to heartbreak. It is an innate human nature to expect good things where they invest good things in, but do we always remain optimistic about that? what if that optimism leads to heartbreak? can you handle it?

Does that mean that we really do not deserve anything? yes we do, but from none other than ourselves. The fact that we deserve happiness does not mean that there will be someone who will come around someday and that is when we start believing that it is what we deserve. The problem with this is that when a person continually treats us well relentlessly, there is a time that will come that we start getting entitled to their treating us right, and when for a day they change towards us we et hurt or maybe even angry at them, because we already think that that is what we deserve from them. Rather than feeling entitled, why not feel grateful? Not everyone has even one person who shows them genuine love and care? Do you think you deserve it all? If you do it is from non other than yourself.

Same goes for those who have had their inner child wounded and have been exploited emotionally to the extent that they start thinking that anything bad a person does to them it is because they deserve it. They have lived with this thought for so long that they become the ones to even apologise when they get wronged. Does that mean they deserve to be treated that way? Of course not! But that is what they believe for a very long time. These people need guidance. They need to be guided and dead that mentality. In actuality, all you need is already inside of you. It takes courage to realise that nothing you are giving in this life is truly yours. You think that the air you breath, the food you eat or the good health you are giving by God is given to you because you deserve it? If that is the way you think, then you are the most Ungrateful person on earth! Yess!!

Living life as a wayfarer is a good approach to understanding this. Live life like the journey that it is. Appreciate good things, learn from the bad things and strive to be a better version of yourself.

Thanks for reading guys.
