Self Pity

Tempting as it may be, we all need to remind ourselves constantly that we're not doing ourselves any favors by allowing self pity to consume us. Getting wrapped up in the vicious cycle of thinking "woe is me" will never fail to keep us from moving forward with our lives. Of course never feeling sorry for ourselves is easier said than done. From time to time we all get to low points and sometimes it can't be helped that we feel sorry for ourselves, but we need to do our very best to break the cycle as quickly as possible so that we can get back on the horse known as life. I've come to realize that there is a very fine line between simply being our biggest critic, and being our own biggest bully. You need to try your very hardest to forgive yourself for your mistakes, and tell yourself that whatever misfortune you are going through will pass. Getting down is normal, but staying down is not.
