Entitlement ~ it's in the water lately

It has been quite some time since I have written and I am sure my publisher will not be happy to hear that! I do write certain things down that happen along this windy road that life has taken me down over the past nine month's, for the most part it's been an eye opener ..

My word of late is Entitlement, and those in the world whom feel they may be owed or need to make themselves feel important in one way or another. It could be as simple as their face always being in a picture thus furthering their brand with no focus on the client. Another case maybe that the world has just not treated them fairly and they felt "entitled" to enjoy certain things that they would not be privy to in day to day life. Trust me I know what you are thinking right now, you are preaching to the choirs kids! Entitlement`~ do I feel entitled? No never have been nor ever will be. I have worked hard for everything I have gotten and those relationships we have built. I stand on integrity and solid footing as it has never been about me. Those whom we watch around us may feel differently and that is all well and good. My mantra has been "those whom you piss off on the way up will be waving on your way back down." Being on the top is not a goal I strive to get to. My trainer once told me "you need to train like you are in second place to get to first place." That has stuck with me throughtout my bodybuilding and business years. Sure it is great to bring home a trophy, I got em how many do you want? For me it is the accomplishment of standing on that stage, just knowing my work has paid off. I have the same work ethic when it comes to those we represent, I can count on my fingers how many pictures we have been in with clients -we work for them. It is about them not I.


Entitlement~~ big word and clearly there are those whom feel through their actions that indeed they are/were "entitled", have no shame to their game and feel no responsibilty. I even had to look this up as this word encompasses so much . So upon my findings indeed the meaning is mixed ~ 1) to entitle to give name to 2) a title given for nobility 3) to give oneself the right to do or to have something;allow;qualify . I do believe Don Pardo we have a winner on number ?????
