“Service and gratitude will fuel your relationship; entitlement and expectation will poison it.”

“When we replace a sense of service and gratitude with a sense of entitlement and expectation, we quickly see the demise of our relationships, society, and economy.”

“Beware: It is a quick transition from a nourishing sense of gratitude to a poisonous sense of entitlement.”

“A sense of entitlement is a cancerous thought process that is void of gratitude and can be deadly to our relationships.”

“Because gratitude is the key to happiness, anything that undermines gratitude must undermine happiness. And nothing undermines gratitude as much as expectations. There is an inverse relationship between expectations and gratitude: The more expectations you have, the less gratitude you will have.”

“Be consistent in your dedication to showing your gratitude to others. Gratitude is a fuel, a medicine, and spiritual and emotional nourishment.”
