Pity Party

[caressa]

Just found this on one of the sites that I visit:

BREAKING NEWS:
The Pity Train has just derailed at the intersection of Suck It Up & Move On, crashing into We All Have Problems, before coming to a complete stop at Get the Heck Over It. To deliver a complaint go to Helen Waite. Reporting LIVE from Quitchur B*tchin' .

So often I think I am in depression and feeling sad and then I get honest and realize that I am on a pity party. I don't need a pill or whatever to make it all go away, all I need to do is turn things over to my Higher Power and ask for help.

Pity Parties....

“If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting”?

It takes a lot of work to put on a full-blown pity party?
It takes a lot of work to be a victim! When we give away
our power to whatever or whomever that we’re waiting on
to come and save us we diminish our own light.

Pity parties don’t attract change, they simply fortify the
problems that we’re afraid of. When you focus on what
you don’t have you block the sun which leaves you no
light to see which direction we need to go. Why wait until
you’re drunk off the misery before leaving a party in which
you had no intention of going to? The earlier you decide
to leave the better....

When I'm considering a pity party I think it's because my
belief in myself is faltering or my faith that God will take
care of me is wavering.....

This is where I tell myself:
I Can't, God Can I Think I'll Let Him

Peace on the journey, SG

I agree, I also see it as a perception thing. Generally me trying to figure it out and not liking the answers or I am not willing to wait for the answer to come. It is often an accumulation of things which I have put on a shelf and have not been willing to face. While sitting in my party all alone, it is a good time to look at myself and get honest!
