    ABSOLUTELY 💯‼️ Perfectly Said ‼️ Nobody owes you anything. Entitlement is a disease especially for close friends and family. The more you give to ungrateful people the more they want "Entitlement." People think because you got it you should freely give it away. It's a blessing if anyone does anything for you.

      Because GOD does not have grandchildren, but GRAND CHILDREN, we must spend time understanding the impactful points that PARENTS make... good, bad, or indifferent.

Two of my kids dropped out of college their 3rd year of college at a major university and wanted me to pay for a hotel for them indefinitely. I had just had some major repairs done to my home and car and told them know but they were welcome to come home. 1 of then didn't talk to me fur 2 years and the other is still not talking to me 3 years later.

    Ricky I needed to hear this today. I am have 4 kids that my husband and I raised and raised well that refuses to talk to us and parents and a huge family that disowned in me for whatever reason. It's funny that I didn't think I was a person that felt entitled but I was feeling like why are they this way shouldn't they call or care about me. It's just lately I am convinced God has a plan for everyone and his plan for me was to remove negative people out of my life and that is what he did. This video is just added convincing that my kids felt entitlement for everything and myself feeling the same entitlement for respect from family but they owe me nothing and I don't owe them either. Thank you for these videos sound truth, is what we ALL need. God bless and keep you .

    If you have to be persuaded, reminded, bullied, pressured, incentivized, lied to, guilt tripped, coerced, socially shamed, censored, threatened, paid, punished, and criminalized, if all of this is necessary to gain your compliance, you can be absolutely certain what is being promoted is not in your best interest.

    What I learned in my adult life is reciprocity won't always happen. I would feel entitled for people to support me and do for me how I do for them. But as I grew older I learned God may not use the same person you helped to "give back" to you, he may use someone else. When you do and give, you do just that. People are not obligated to reciprocate and as long as you not feeling used or abused, continue to do for people as long as you desire to.

    Thanks Rickey, I am learning too!! I have learned to mind all of my business. I have done a lot for people and my children not for accolades, but because I don't mind giving. However, I have learned that people have a different definition of help. I have become more selfish with ME, and I have people who dogged me out for gaining an opportunity that they secretly coveted. I have changed my attitude too because my expectation of people, is for me, and I cannot project that on others. Right Rickey...I understand thanks for this!

    Rickey I just want say Thank you! You never know what you say during these facebook Lives that might help someone move forward. I have been dealing with guilt about not being able to care for my mom, But what you said made me look at my situation in a different way and it confirmed somethings for me. THANK YOU 😊

    Some people have a strong sense of entitlement, I see it a lot in the younger generation. I’m consistently explaining this to my children and teaching my young granddaughter this was a wonderful message and needed to be heard. Also it is very annoying when someone is speaking from the heart and you have people trying to auto correct or politically correct them, it’s like STFU, you know what I they mean. Yes people will try to assert negativity any way possible.
