I tell myself that all the time, too. If I don't feel entitled to anybody or anything, then I don't expect anything I don't get disappointed. And almost everything - a call, a text, a gift, etc - becomes a pleasant surprise.
It makes life easier, really. If there's something, then nice. If there's nothing, no hard feelings.
But as much as being anti-entitlement is good for your mental and emotional health, at the end of the day you are only a human being. You're going to have expectations of certain people, your friends and family. It's why you are in a special relationship with them, and that's how they are different from strangers and acquaintances and mere colleagues.
This is awesome. I guess I just have to tell myself this to a huge promise I've been waiting on for an event “sponsorship” we had and the funds have been pending for 6 Months now 😂😂😂 I no dey entitled!
