"Having A Self Pity Party Is Not An Option"

Most of us strive on self pity parties, but when have these kind of partiesever helped us.If we're having these parties we are normally all alone, especially if we've been hurt or down trodden and feeling defeated and down and out. In life we all get hurt, in one way or another, how to come to terms with our hurt and over come it is important to our survival in this world. We cannot let our pain and frustrations destroy us and keep us from functioning in life. Self pity parties are debilitating and very destructive to ourselves. When we're hurt, frustrated and in pain, we become acquainted with the "Woe Is Me" syndrome. We ask ourselves over and over again, why did this happen to me or why me?: these are the questions, we're bombarded with. When going through our self pity party. when we're faced with any kind of lost in a relationship, or a lost of a loved one, we pity ourselves, and it seems to be a normal thing for us. We have to understand that self pity is very destructive and we cannot give in to it 0 and give it no room to grow in our lives.

The whole idea of the self pity party has to be destroyed before it destroys us. Some of us go to great lengths to project the self pity party, by using alcohol, drugs or even becoming promiscuous with our carnal desires. Our self pity cause us to do things, we wouldn't do under normal circumstances. Self pity is the number one thing that reduces our self esteem and makes us feel unworthy or useless. When we're bogged down like this, we have to keep our eyes on the prize, which is the eternal word of God. We cannot over come anything without the word of God, and that's including self pity. If you are down on yourself and can't say or feel anything good about yourself, than it's time for you to consult with the almighty power of God for your self preservation. So, we can love ourselves again, and hold ourselves in high self esteem; only if we ask God for help and guidance in our lives. If you're hurting and self pity has you down, all you have to do is just look up, and recieve help from God. If you can only remember that you are a part of God and he's a part of you. if you got a part of God in you......Then you can't be all bad. So, Love and respect yourself, because that's exactly what God would want all of us to do.
