The interpersonal balance sheet: The issue of Entitlement
It is not the ‘why’ you should be concerned about. ‘Why’ is part of your journey and you will never learn from it, only from the ‘why not’. ‘Why’ is like the past tense: over, changeless; whereas ‘why not’ is endless and continuous: leads to new possibilities. You do not possess the power to act on ‘why’, but you do posses the power to act on ‘why not’. Reflect on the moments that have passed, but do not brood and stay lost amongst them. Continue to be inspired by your life’s choices. There is richness in what has happened, is happening, and must happen to you. Do not fight or resist the changes that naturally lead you from adventure to adventure.
What do you owe others?
What do you owe me?
What do I owe you?
The answer to all these questions is nothing! Humans are often under the impression in life that they must act in a specific way, when in actuality they decide to act that way in order to conform to the societal norm. You and I owe each other nothing, yet both of us get to decide how we act, and what it is that we want to create to give to each other. This is the same all over the world, for every individual. There may be rules, etiquette, cultural beliefs etc, yet these concepts are all created by humans. If humans are capable of creating concepts such as these, then they are capable of creating anything. Therefore, you, as a member of the human race, are more than capable of creating the gifts you want to give to others. Only you possess the ability to decide if you are open to learning or simply focused on yourself in situations when you’re being called to help your family, your friends, your team or your group. Your path will never lead you to people and situations that will simply let you pass without challenge or conflict. When you’re on your journey, which is every day, you must learn to make decisions without the weight of your pride, ego, wrath or jealousy. However, this is extremely hard in a culture constantly focusing on entitlement.
