Gratitude over Deserving
The speaker emphasizes the importance of not feeling entitled or deserving of things, but instead, adopting a perspective of gratitude for everything received in life. Believing that one deserves something can lead to ungratefulness and expectation, which can take away the joy from experiences. By shifting the mindset to feeling grateful for everything without expectations, one can reduce feelings of anxiety, sadness, anger, and frustration arising from unreasonable expectations. The speaker relates this perspective to entrepreneurship, highlighting the challenging and often discouraging nature of the entrepreneurial journey, which requires a balance of managing expectations and maintaining gratitude.
