I don’t know how the word “deserve” plays into our existence.
I don’t think any one person deserves anything more than another. How do you make sense of us living in a first world country while others don’t have access to clean water. That has nothing to do with deserving.
We get carried away in our relationships thinking we deserve better than what we are getting and this thought pattern makes us angry, like we are receiving less than a normal human experience.
But the human experience is different, and the same, for all of us.
It’s about our journey and the lessons we need to evolve. None of those lessons are deserved. They just are.
The lessons in the journey exist to stretch us, to overcome our limits, our fears, and our ego, and to help us move closer to understanding our own power.
The lessons are not punishment.
Life is not trying to take you down, it’s asking you to rise.
