Read this slowly and let it sink in

You are responsible for your life, your happiness, moral conduct, respect, friendship, health, what you eat, or intelligence, you are everything to yourself.

When people do things for you, it's because they want to-because you, in some ways you have given them something meaningful that makes them want to please you, not because anyone owes you anything. Life is good when you give while expecting nothing in return. When you bail someone out of trouble do so because it's the right thing to do, and not because you expect them to bail you out next time you are in problems.

When your friends come to your rescue at the hour of  need, thank them heartily because it is a privilege that they came and not a right or a duty call. Know that friends are God's way of reminding you that the world still has good people. Sometimes these friends won't be at your door all the time when depression strikes you down and you need someone to talk to before you jump over over the cliff, They too have needs and concerns.

Life has got only one simple truth that has taken me time to learn, and a great burden was lifted from my shoulders the day I realized that no one owes me anything in this world. You will achieve Nirvana and enrich your life in hundred of ways when you learn that no one owes you anything

Live a fulfilling life walking on your sense of entitlement knowing this world owes you nothing.

It was here first.
