Are Entitled to Nothing
Entitlement. It’s a tough subject. We’ve all heard the term flung about in regular conversation, in heated conversation, in conversations about the generations. What I have observed is…it’s everywhere, absolutely everywhere. Doesn’t matter what your astrology is, what your spiritual path is. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are, what you came from, we all experience it at some level.
So what? If everybody does it, what’s the big deal?
The big deal is that if a person is busy being entitled, it is hard to practice gratitude and appreciation.
Having stated above that it doesn’t matter what your astrology is, are some zodiac energies more prone to entitlement than others? You betcha! Does it guarantee they will behave in an entitled way? No. As with all astrological influences, the way we express ourselves is unique and personal to us.
I have been on many major journeys over the past couple of years. I have been on the one with all of humanity, covid. I have moved to a part of the country I’ve never lived in with no family around after 6 and one-half decades in the Deep South and surrounded by family. I am on a health journey to retrain my immune system on a cellular level. And have been, for 14 months now, building a house in the middle of this economy and supply chain situation on something other than flat land!
Some personal entitlement ahas!…
Health Journey…I am in the process of a deep cleanse. Like cellular level. Retraining my immune system. I was born with a wonky immune system and it’s time I be the boss of it rather than it be the boss of me. As some of you who have been on similar journeys, no matter how short or long, quick or deep, detox is not fun. And, one day I was feeling particularly puny. I was asking myself, ‘why does this have to be so hard?’ ‘why do I feel awful?’
Then it hit me. The real question was why did I feel like I had a right to feel good?’ Whoa. Wait a minute now. I realized in that moment that I was going along thinking that I was supposed to feel good, as long as I wasn’t sick-sick, every day. Now I know everyone has ‘good’ days and ‘bad’ days, physically and mentally. And it was a little unsettling to me to uncover this thought pattern…
Don’t get me wrong. Do I deserve to feel good every day? Yes. Do I desire to feel good every day? Yes. Am I entitled to feel good every day? No. Entitled generally cancels out all the deserving and desiring you can muster.
So, I owned it, the entitlement. And looked for other places in my life where I was practicing entitlement under the guise of what I thought ‘should’ be happening. And to my horror and amazement I found it EVERYWHERE!
It was in the thoughts I was having about being physically away from my family. It was in the thoughts about it taking so long for my house to be built. I know these decisions, to be away from family, to build a house in this craziness, are mine, all mine. And I still noticed I was having entitled thoughts about how often and how my family should communicate with me. And even in the craziness, 14 months is a long time and it shouldn’t take this long to build a house.
So, I owned it, the entitlement. And I appreciated my new connections in my new place that were helping me on my health quest and just got grateful for the air I breathe and that I get to breathe it. When I discovered and owned my entitlement, I got a wonderful surprise visit from my family. And when I took the time to remind myself and focus on all the blessings that have been involved with the move and the house construction, and that it’s all Divine Timing, not my timing, the stress and push about the house fell away.
I know there are people out there who needed to read these words. I humbly and sincerely wish that they brought you clarity and joy, even if it’s only that you are not alone in your journey.
So, my question for you is, ‘Where are you letting entitlement get in the way of your blessings?’
I would love to help you explore those areas of your life with a reading. Book a session here. I look forward to seeing you!
Humbly and Respectfully,
