Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. – Mark Twain

When we have too high expectations of the world we can end up feeling dejected.

Why did he act like that how could he be so brazen?

Why am I working this job? I can do much better I deserve better.

At the heart of thinking the world owes us a living is entitlement.

How can we expect anything of the world if we won’t put in the work.

It’s much easier to complain and have a sense of entitlement than it is to do the work and eventually, through blood sweat and tears reap the fruits of life.

The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself

Never forget this. We can’t control what others do but we can become the very best versions of ourselves.

Do this

Instead of asking what can the world do for me ask “what can I do for the world?“

The sooner we take control of our own inner world the happier we become

If we expect lots from the world we relinquish all inner power.

We become reactive only responding to what happens as it happens.

But if we instead become proactive and take control of our lives the world is our oyster.

The Takeaway

Whenever we think the problem is out there, that thought is the problem.
