What Do You Deserve

Everyone wants a wonderful partner, of course, who would pray to God to send them a selfish asshole or bitch.

The problem is, are you actually worthy of the partner you want?

I saw this article/poem about what she deserves in a man. https://www.elephantjournal.com/2017/09/the-lover-i-deserve-poetry/

Although it is sweet and nicely written, what struck me is the arrogance of the author.

What makes her think she deserves such a man? Is she so perfect and wonderful?

So here is a little reminder. You may not have the partner you dream of because you do not DESERVE what you want. So instead of thinking you deserve anything close to your dream, start working on making yourself worthy of a good partner, and next time you are lucky enough to meet such a person, you may have a better chance of keeping them.

Make that your goal of life, to become worthy of the one you want.
