Feeling sorry for myself, and a kind friend told me to stop wallowing. Other friends allow me to wallow. But it is the ‘Stop It’ comment that really help to put life into perspective and to change my attitude. You will change your attitude. I will! Indeed! Self-pity be gone.

It is a switch in one’s mind. And the right comment flipped the switch for me. I don’t know if it is always that easy.

I think self-pity is ok for a while. We need that too at times. But it is important to get to the point when we say “Stop, now it is time to take responsibility, stand up, look ahead, and move on!

Yes that is the main thing. We do need to get to that point at some time. Sooner rather than later.

Self-pity, why? No one can go so wrong. But again that’s my perspective. Nice post, Vonita.

Thank you Asha. I tried to negotiate on something and it all fell through at the last minute. Combination of factors.
