We Get What We Deserve?

Really?  Does anyone buy that anymore?  I do.  More so, I think, we get what we ask for.  Is it what we deserve? No, not always, but I assure you it is what we ask for. 

Be careful what you wish for because you may just get it.  I know this first hand, with the exception of winning the lottery that is (rolling eyes).  What we ask/wish for is a direct result of a need we have or a want that requires filling.  Also, make sure what you are asking for is positive, of course we don't ask for crap to happen to us, but if we behave badly towards others, that is our reward, thus...you got what you deserved.

I know people, we all do, who spend their days whining about all the bad things that have or are still happening to them.  They are never happy with their lives they are never content to just be.  They hyper focus on the negative around them causing the negative to multiply exponentially and unnecessarily.  Imagine if they focused on the positive in their lives?  How different might it be?

We all go through periods of self pity, it's normal.  The trick is to NOT hyper focus on it but to take it as a learning experience and let it go.  If negative events continue to plague you then you are not sufficiently letting go, you are hanging on too tightly to your negative experiences and causing a snowball effect of negative activity in your life.

Count your blessings, ya, I know, sounds rehearsed.  How many times have we heard that one?  If you ever went to church probably about a million times.  So why don't you?  "Blessings" are nothing less than "positives"  I've never heard of a "bad blessing" they are generally pretty good, varying degrees of good but good none the less.

So, if you want to get what you deserve, and if you deserve all the best this life has to offer you have to focus on all the best that you already have.  Not sure what that is?  Do you wake up in the morning?  I would say that's pretty good, and a good place to start.  Do you have hot water for your shower? Do you have somewhere to have a shower?  All really good things.  There are literally millions of people in this world who don't have the luxury of a hot shower.  I would say that's something to be grateful for wouldn't you?

Make a list of all that is good in your life, not a list of all the bad that has happened to you.  If you give life to the negative it will take over your life.  Live positive...be happy, and get what you deserve!

That's, how I see it,
