"I Don't Deserve This"
Often, when endeavours fail, people engage in unhealthy reactions instead of taking accountability and analysing the event. One such reaction is to feel self pity, that what happened to you was unfair and you deserve more.
➙ Oh no! After everything I have done, this is what I get in return. I don't deserve this.
➙ Sure, you do.
➙ What do you mean?
➙ The situation you are in is a function of your actions. If you acted in free will, then you indeed are responsible for your actions and their consequences. In other words, whether good or bad, you deserve the situation you are in.
➙ That's so harsh.
➙ That's the truth. However harsh and unpleasant the truth is, denying it will only push to play the victim card with no substance at all. Victim card with no substance blinds you and prevents you from seeing the situation as it is — in its raw form. This will only push you further down the pit... the situation that you are in... the situation that you are supposed come out of. Choose your mindset wisely.
