Welcome!
I’m going to speak on a topic that for some might be tough to hear. If that’s the case, try listening with an open mind for this moment. There’s a huge disadvantage that I have acknowledged several individuals having, and it’s the entitlement mentality.
These individuals are not taking ownership and taking on the responsibility for the outcomes in their life. In return, comes self victimizing, disappointment and being let down based on their own expectations. The type of entitlement I’m referring to is not, not getting what we want but feeling we deserve something just because we showed up.
Like a participation trophy for adults. As if one is owed or indebted something just because we.. want… it. The actuality is that the things we are entitled to is what we actually earned, not just what we think we earn. If we do not work on personal development whether that be physical, cognitive, and/ or psychosocial.
We will again and again fail to accomplish ideal accolades. It’s not the world’s job to make us happy, strong, healthy, or anything else.
As the truth is.. The world does not actually owe us anything. Our fulfillment is based on our own doing.
We are empowered based on our ability to commit to accepting our reality and taking daily action for the rest of our lives.
The external locus of control: Is a focus on the idea that the world owes us because we’re willing to resort to shaming, badgering, begging. Trying to get what we want without working towards earning it.
This focus is seeing ourselves as if we do not have control of our daily lives, thus setting ourselves up for a lifetime commitment of disappointment and likely failure in our own life goals.
We are empowered based on our ability to commit to accepting our reality and taking daily action for the rest of our lives. Which in turn also leads to improving personal confidence as you build personal integrity by taking action and executing tasks leading you towards your ideal self. This is actions based on the internal locus on control mindset.
An actionable task that can be taken from this is learning to take ownership of our life and everything in it. If we do not get what we want, reflect on what we could have done differently to better control future outcomes.
We are not entitled to anything we do not earn. Even if we feel we have worked very hard for something and fallen short, there’s always something else we can do to change our situation.
“It’s amazing what you can accomplish.. In commitment you just might surprise yourself.”
Thanks for listening, take care and choose to have a great day.
