“It comes down to this: that which creates love, growth, and ownership vs. that which creates superiority or a demand for special treatment.”
― John Townsend, The Entitlement Cure: Finding Success at Work and in Relationships in a Shortcut World

“Just remember to be loving and be “for” the person you’re trying to help when you set limits, no matter how unloving they behave toward you. If you lose compassion, it’s harder for them to learn the lesson. You want them to learn to accept and adapt to reality. You don’t want their takeaway to be, “I have a mean boss/parent/ spouse.” Loving but firm is both the right way and the Hard Way.”

“You have to learn the difference between a need, which should be met, and an entitled desire, which should be starved.”
