5. Release yourself from entitlement.
</p>
<p>
Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
</p>
<p>
When you are young your mom and dad may give a lot of things. As you grow older you may have a sort of entitlement. You may feel like the world should just give you what you want or that it owes you something.
</p>
<p>
This belief can cause a lot of anger and frustration in your life. Because the world may not give you what expect it to. On the other hand, this can be liberating too. You realize that it is up to you to shape your own life and for you to work towards what you want. You are not a kid anymore, waiting for your parents or the world to give you something.
</p>
<p>
You are in the driver’s seat now. And you can go pretty much wherever you want.
