IT'S OUR LIFE
You know there is something I have kind of noticed here on the blogs, it seems everyone has pretty much control of there life, they seem to be strong and know what they want in life. Yes we still have failures and hurts and wished we had done some things different but over all we seem to be in control. there is one area in our life we should always pay close attention to and it is...SELF PITY... I seen this in some ones life yesterday and to be honest it was a little scary.We should learn to silence the voice of self pity, life is not fair, and it's not unfair either it is just life. when we pity ourselves , all we see are our problems. we become blind to other people and their issues. We believe that the world revolves around us.
I said all of that to say this. If self pity ever sets into your life, be the blogger I see the one that is strong and is in control of their life and knows how to live a fulfilled and peaceful life. as you know...IT'S OUR LIFE...

I've never been into self pity parties and never sought out sympathy.
What is that saying that I've heard so much of.When life sends you lemons make lemonade.Or the other one "When the going gets rough the tuff the tuff get going song lyrics"
That's exactly what I've had to do a good share of my life.
thank you for your comment
We can't judge people by their appearance. They might appear to be strong behind their keyboard but it doesn't mean they are?
I don't do self pity and don't like those who do either.
I find public pity parties usually entail the pity partier needing/wanting attention from multiple sources, and, because many will be sympathetic, they continue the party because of the negative attention they've attained. And thus the cycle goes.
thank you for your comment
Thank you for your comment, very good.
Of others and ourselves.
No that I care, but I do not believe most I read ....particularly here
Nahh I can´t lie about myself Wen, I speak asleep
it depends on the way you handle it or so me thinks.
Given I'm stilling mopping over my hair and going through a little self pity at the moment...
what else to say but I'm sitting on my pity potty and I'm staying on it too
As far as your hair and sitting on your pity potty, remember I am always sitting with you.
Sitting and sharing bog roll
I think after a good dose of self pity comes strong solid determination...
The potatoes had gone soft
The egg was hard-boiled
The ground-up beans had changed into a rich-smelling hot drink
He said all 3 had faced adversity - 20 minutes of boiling water - and all 3 had reacted. How we react to difficult times is, however, our choice.
Go soft and get mashed
Get hard and firm
Change our nature altogether.
I quite liked the story so here you go. Sort of on-theme
Ooops God darn it but you've just knocked me off my pity pot
Yes, life can be tough and when there are tough times, moaning and "why me" simply does (and probably should) happen. Just not forever, at some time I would pull myself together and get going again.
There were times in my life that were tough (and I think that most people have these times) and it is something I had no control over. But once this was over, I moved on with my life.
When there is something in my life I don't like and it is in my power to change it, I'd rather change it than moan about it. Also, my mum would put me on the straight and narrow if I all I would be doing about something is moaning.
Hope everything is going well with you.
