What you believe you deserve can influence what you ask for, accept, and pursue.
I do not believe every outcome in life is a reflection of what someone thinks they deserve. Life is far more complicated than that. But our beliefs about our own value can influence the standards we set and the possibilities we consider. Do you dismiss an opportunity before exploring it? Do you apologize for having a reasonable need? Those are patterns worth noticing. Your worth does not need to be earned by expecting less.
