Be grateful, damn it!

How often today do we hear and see sentences which begin with "I deserve..."? Variations of this sentiment are a seemingly endless refrain in ad campaigns for everything from clothing and jewellery to perfume and cosmetics.
Here's a hard truth though; you don't deserve anything and nor does anyone else.

Your house is too small? Some people sleep on concrete.
You don't get to visit other countries? Some people have barely seen their own city.
Your car's old and worn out? Some people would jump at the chance to own a bicycle.

So the next time you catch yourself thinking, "I deserve..." stop and remember what you've already got.
