It is important to not take life for granted and be gracious and show a proper gratitude for every small mercy or for anything thing others do for you.
Remember this one important fact, this earth has no contract or obligation to feed you or look after you, the way you negotiate terms of endearment are through your goodness, or you have to become a predator, which will destroy your soul.
A man came some years ago, he was crying, he was in a partnership with two crooked people who were milking the books, they wanted to toss him out so there would be no oversight to their fraud. They had threatened him. I talk to the lad for four hours and I laid out a plan of how to come up behind them emotionally and use their crookedness against them. Three weeks later he owned the entire business and he went on to make $10 million. Did he come with a kind word, or $5000 in an envelope and say, “Have a drink Stuie, or a bag of apples?” No, not one word.
Entitlement is a disease of importance. Be so careful you don’t fall into that ego-trap.
