Entitlement Attitude Is
The New Kid On The Block

Having A Thankful Attitude Has Now Become Empty Gratitude

So many are expressing an entitlement attitude that having a thankful attitude seems to be a thing of the past. Can learning how to be thankful replace all the empty gratitude that surrounds us.

And you know what demonstrates entitlement attitude? The attitude of HAVE-DO-BE.

What does that mean? It means you believe that you must have a lot of money before you can do the things you want, which will then allow you to be the person you wish to be (that's just one example of many).

The very important concept I learned from my mentor Scott deMoulin is to BE-DO HAVE!

That is, you BE before you can DO, and you DO before you can HAVE.

You don't need to HAVE certain things to BE happy!

Person A: Reacts and curses at God saying, 'it's unfair! I earned that home! I DESERVE it! Why have you let me down God?!"

Person B: Responds with gratitude to God saying, "Thank you for this incredible challenge and opportunity God," and then gets creative, finds a way to build a new home, and continues leading an incredibly successful life.

How is that possible to have those two completely different reactions if we must HAVE something to BE happy?!

It touches upon many concepts, three of which are:

3. Have-Do-Be vs. Be-Do-Have.

100% Responsibility:

That question definitely touches on an area of gray for me as well, and I'm not sure how we could be responsible for that sort of thing (though I am open to the idea that we are). What if you began acting 'as if' though?

How would your life change if you began acting 'as if' you were responsible for everything that does or does not happen in your life? You'd be AMAZED at how liberating it is and the creativity that you could experience once you do that.

On the entitlement attitude issue, person A feels entitled to the materialistic items he owns. Person B on the other hand has released his sense of entitlement.

What happens when your possessions become who you are? The second you lose them your life is over!

Done!
Gone!
Zip!
Zilch!

You feel like you've lost everything you are. And you HAVE! How? Because you were living by the concept that you must HAVE something to BE something. You believe that you must HAVE riches to BE happy.

Be-Do-Have

Stop waiting to have riches to to make contributions (the do). Stop waiting to have riches to be happy!

BE HAPPY NOW! BE SUCCESSFUL NOW!

If you want to live a life of purpose, than begin living your life on purpose! What's a great way to shift your paradigm to be-do-have? Gratitude and Appreciation.

You see, what you appreciate appreciates! Appreciate what you have NOW. Be grateful for what you have NOW. Stop waiting until you have that perfect relationship or dream job. Take 100% responsibility now, release that sense of entitlement to the universe, and...

Be grateful. Be grateful. Be grateful

Remember, it's your choice to create an extraordinary life!
