I Deserve

It seems to me that we walk around thinking that we deserve many things. Now, this is a fine line, because if we believe that we deserve nothing because we are worthless, this is not appropriate either. There seems to be a balance where we can ask, “Do I deserve this? Have I put in the time, and focused effort to move toward that goal?” If the answer is yes and we still have not achieved, we can take a step back, with no blame, and examine where our shortcomings are. If we have not received the appropriate action, then the onus is on us to begin to formulate a plan and take small and consistent steps toward our desired ends.
