There’s a great scene at the end of Unforgiven, when Gene Hackman is lying on the ground, bleeding, and Clint Eastwood is standing over him, about to kill him. Anyway, Hackman says, “I don’t deserve this. To die like this? I was building a house. I don’t deserve this.”

And Eastwood replies, “Deserve’s got nothing to do with it.”

If you can’t convince yourself you deserve the good things in life, that’s fine. But at least convince yourself to go for them anyway.

Because “deserve” has got nothing to do with it.

To repost one of my favorite Le Guin quotes 

For we each of us deserve everything, every luxury that was ever piled in the tombs of the dead kings, and we each of us deserve nothing, not a mouthful of bread in hunger. Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think

POLONIUS : My lord, I will use them according to their desert.

HAMLET : God's bodykins, man, much better. Use every man after his desert, and who should scape whipping? Use them after your own honour and dignity --the less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty. Take them in.

Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2, ll. 518-522
