We are not deserving of all that we want. In the place of a sense of entitlement, show gratitude.

Start with the mind-set that we will…

• serve others first, eat last
• share what we have earned and learned
• agree to realistic expectations with others
• navigate and negotiate for a shared value
• recognize the challenges that others face
• hold the self-confidence to plan and act for ourselves; others will do the same
• recognize others for their efforts, appreciation may be returned
• own your level of responsibility in a conflict
• appreciate each blessing as they come to us

“To cultivate gratitude, we must first uproot the weeds of pride, entitlement, and comparison that choke out our blessings.” — Toyin Omofoye —
