Clarity on Fire

Blog: Why your insecurity actually makes you entitled


Listen Later

It doesn't matter where you're from or what generation you belong to, I know you know someone who's actually entitled.

I'm not talking about people who are called "entitled" but don't necessarily deserve it. (A lot of Millennials bear the brunt of this, and it's an unfair generalization to make about an entire generation of people, considering how hardworking and engaged most of the Millennials I know are.)

I'm talking about the person you know who thinks they legitimately should not have to work for anything, and who is sort of dumbfounded by the very idea of struggle.

I'm talking about the person who is so deeply deluded that they constantly talk about how spectacular they are, even though they've done little that's brag-worthy.

We know this person. We roll our eyes at this person. The vast majority of us are definitely not this person. But here's the kicker — most of us are still entitled, anyway.

How does that work? How can so few of us resemble "that person," and yet so many of us still be entitled? Well, because there are two forms of entitlement, and I only learned about one of them recently!

For my throwback blog of the month, I (Rachel) chose to revisit this one from March of 2017. It'll kick you in the pants, in a good way! After you've listened, come leave a comment if you're willing to admit how you may have been acting entitled without realizing it.

LET'S GET 2019 OFF TO THE RIGHT START

The new year is right around the corner. Cue wide eyes and mild panic!

…Or not. Because hey, not every year needs to be a repeat of the last! You'd be amazed by how much can shift in just a few months with a little consistency, accountability, and a willingness to make change.

So if you'd like 2019 to be vastly different than 2018 (or 2017, or 2016…), then we're happy to talk to about the prospect of 1-on-1 coaching.
