For example, I keep telling myself my house is too extravagant, it's frivolous, and I can't afford it. I tell myself I should sell it, save my money for god-knows-what, and live in an old trailer. Why do I tell myself these lies? Because I can't believe I deserve to be happy. I can't believe I'm not the failure I was always told I'd be.

Wow Dixie...this hit's home with a lot of us I bet. The fact that you feel this way should prove that you do deserve happiness and rewards for your efforts. Entitled people rarely reflect on this.
Remember the old Saturday Night Live skit? " I'm good enough; I'm smart enough; and doggonit, people like me"
You deserve your happiness...you worked hard for it and people respect you for being you!!!
