Entitlement and complaining are two clear-cut indicators that we are experiencing Bread of Shame. We’re being the effect. We’re waiting for someone else to fulfill us. We’re expecting the world, our parents, our employers, our teachers, our spouses to do it for us. We make “the other” the source of our fulfillment (and when they don’t live up to our expectations, we destroy them.) What is the consequence of entitlement? Unhappiness. Frustration. In truth, only we can be the source of our own happiness. We must be aware when we are in this state of consciousness. And we all fall into it – especially when we’re not balanced. The way out is taking more initiative and doing more.
