This past weekend I saw a sign that said

You are allowed to feel happy.

This got me thinking on the concept of deserve verse allowed. I know logically that we all deserve a good life and to be happy so when people tell me I deserve to be happy, I just kind of nod, yes I deserve it.. doesn't mean I get what I deserve. Seeing the phrase with the word allowed seems to make a difference, like I don't have to feel guilt when I am happy.
Does it make a difference to you? If so how? Also, does putting it into one of your core beliefs change that belief for you?
