Life Trap #11–Entitlement

From Reinventing Your Life by Young and Klosko

The Entitlement Lifetrap–“I can have whatever I want”
The final lifetrap, entitlement, is associated with the ability to accept realistic limits in life. People who have this lifetrap feel special. They insist that they be able to do, say, or have whatever they want immediately. They disregard what others consider reasonable, what is actually feasible, the time or patience usually required, and the cost to others. They have difficulty with self-discipline.

Many of the people with this lifetrap were spoiled as children. They were not required to show self-control or to accept the restrictions placed on other children. As adults, they still get very angry when they do not get what they want.

  1. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the
    book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that,
    this is great blog. An excellent read. I will certainly be back.
