What Good Comes From Feeling Sorry For Yourself?

What are you trying to accomplish by feeling sorry for yourself and the problems you encounter in life? Needless to say, you accomplish nothing, yet instead, you become more of a helpless victim. By proclaiming the title of a victim, you forfeit any possibilities of bettering yourself. Look at it this way, the world that we reside in symbolizes both the light and dark side of humanity. There will be the good and bad days that will equally be here no matter what we think.

Having crappy days suck, and I am quite aware of feeling negative about the things that seem way out of my control, but the fact still remains on how we can get off our wagon of somberness. There are a lot of reasons to hate ourselves, the world around us, the people in it, and our circumstances, yet there will always be love in the hearts of those who believe in making life possible.

You know life isn’t always fair when it seems like you can never hit a home run. You just want to make the people around you proud that you’ve made it big in life. However, when depression, failure, doubt, anxiety, stress, and fear come around the block to greet you, then suddenly you lose your way back home. You wonder what the hell happened to you. It’s like your soul has been sealed into the netherworld and everything you go through is in the state of limbo. The thoughts and feelings of helplessness are just too overpowering to cast away.

When you remain in the darkness for a period of time, then you somewhat become that entity. You believe that nothing good will ever come your way, but the question you should be asking yourself is, “what can I do to change this situation of mine? ” If you never question your current reality, then you will continue to play the same losing game with no benefits guarantee.

Other than that, I hate to break it to you, but you just might be a masterful self-saboteur. If you’re willing to blow away your chances of getting your life together, then that title directly fits you. I am not trying to say this to be mean-spirited because I have experienced the trappings of setting myself up for failure.

For years, I failed to realize that I could have applied myself to amazing opportunities that could have benefited my life, but I was afraid of putting in the work. I walked life as if I were a zombie with little to no passion. Nevertheless, the point that I am trying to make is that I felt royally sorry for myself. Walking in the shadow of regret is a paralyzing journey that should be abandoned for good. When you walk the same road that has always shown you a world filled with self-hatred, you lose a sense of the hidden beauty that actually exists. I am reminded by the good people who enjoy smiling, laughing, spending time with their loved ones because they genuinely care for them, lovers who love each other’s flaws, and the art that exists in everything that makes life worth believing in.

All in all, I just wanted to express the fact that no matter what you go through, life has meaning to it. There’s always a reason to keep on going because giving up entirely on yourself will definitely keep you chained up for life.
