Deserving and Getting

Most of us pine for good things and good people in our lives.  We wonder why we don't have them, and envy those who seem to be better placed than we are. Yet the problem is that although we want these things most of us don't believe we deserve them.

That's like pressing your nose up against the baker's window, salivating at the breads and pastries, and yet refusing to walk in and open our wallets, even though you have the money.

You can get what you want and need. But first you have to believe you deserve those things and then you have to invest in that course of action.

No one's going to do it for you.
