Self pity is really one of the worst thing we can do to ourselves. Self pitying means that we are transferring all our power to others and this make us powerless and unable to change for the better.

Off on somewhat of a tangent. I was in a zoo one time and I noticed all the animals names were in braille next to the cages. All well and good catering for blind people, but why would a blind person go to the zoo I was wondering?

I know a young lady with Down’s syndrome who signs for the deaf. She has signed in a arena filled with people, as professional singers preform next to her up on stage. Her name is Lisa Smith and she told her mom one day that she wanted to sign with Sandi Patty and her mom wouldn’t tell her she couldn’t. Lisa is the absolute best signer I have ever seen. She is full of expression and passion. You can google her if you’re interested.

I need the heart of Lisa who doesn’t think about limitations but dreams really big.

@ Lori – LOL, that’s MY kind of testimonial, thanks! Maybe you should tell yourself a story that if you looked in the mirror and sad “You’re great!” you would respond with “Damn right I’m great and thanks for pointing it out” ;-)

@ Jake – I like that that. Tough times never last but tough people do. Cool, thanks.

@ Dave – You’ve let me down mate. That’s not very selfish at all is it? Couldn’t you have just gone back to bed?

@ Haider – That’s a good point too which is why I also talked about chapters. I think the crucial turning point for people can be when they realize that what went yesterday doesn’t necessarily dictate what’ll happen tomorrow. Unless of course they ate a Chicken Vindaloo, in which case they can predict fairly accurately.

@ Cody – Yup!

I love the quote, “Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.”

Self pity is really one of the worst thing we can do to ourselves. Self pitying means that we are transferring all our power to others and this make us powerless and unable to change for the better.

Our story does indeed shape the life we lead.

But instead of trying to fashion a new story out of thin air, I think it’s important to see our existing struggles as “scenes” in our story. All successful people go through hardships. Their stories don’t end there. They move past them to achieve greater things.

For some reason that made me remember how my wife, during each of her four pregnancies, would sometimes feel. She had no choice but to carry on as I went off to work.

I’m going to steal a bit of her story and make something of the day instead.

Nice writing there Tim.
