No one OWES you a THING. So don’t EXPECT it. You’re on your OWN.

About This Quote

The world is a place of entitlement and we’re all expected to give and receive accordingly. This is a social phenomenon that has been growing rapidly in the past few decades and no one is immune from it. We’ve all been conditioned to think that we must be entitled to something because we’ve been told that it’s the right thing to do. And, even if we don’t like or agree with what’s at the bottom of the list, we still expect that someone else will oblige us.

For example: - We expect our parents to buy us gifts on our birthday and Christmas – even though we don’t particularly want anything – because it’s expected of us and we were taught that we must always be grateful for what we have and my parents worked hard to give us everything we have. - We expect people to extend discounts on their products or services because it’s expected of them as a business owner or employee. - We expect people to give compliments on our appearance because it’s expected of us as a person.
