"The best morsels are never given to a beggar."

Are you finding that over and over again you don't feel like you get what you want? Do you feel kind of "needy" once in a while?  We all face times in our lives when we are feeling desperate for something.  It could be better relationships, a better job, more fulfillment in general...

There is truth to the idea that we teach people how to treat us.  How we orient ourselves in the world affects how others respond to us.  If you look at the quote above: "The best morsels are never given to a beggar."  it means that if you act like a beggar you most likely will be treated like one.  If you want to be treated like a prize...you have to act like a prize (even if you don't feel like one in the moment).

How do you behave around others?  Do you act like a beggar?...a prize?...something else in between?
