Entitlement reduction mode
One of life’s most honourable quests is to embrace entitlement reduction mode through a relentless sense of curiosity, lifting the self-awareness veil of ignorance.
The less you think you’re owed, the more grateful you are for what turns up.
Curiosity is the best way in, because it’s hard to feel entitled when you’re busy realising how much you don’t know.
