Last night I was upset over things related to work, feeling like I was being unfairly treated. Then I remembered two things. First, I am well paid. That’s enough. Many people go to work for many reasons, socializing, perceived status, a sense of meaning and accomplishment. The real reason we go to work is money. Ask yourself if you would be doing your job if you didn’t have to. The other thing to remind myself is that anytime I feel a sense of entitlement, that’s me getting in my own way, defining my value not on who I am, but on what I want. Rather than have expectations, show up, do a good job, and get paid. That’s all there is to it.
