How to don't Feeel Sorry For by The Brat Formerly Known As Padatha

"I realized that feeling sorry for something or someone or for myself, does nothing to solve things or help in any way"

How I did it: I realized that I spend too much time and thought and emotion in feeling sorry, not just for something I may have done or not done, said or not said, but just a general feeling sorry for all the bad or sad things everyone and everything must go through.

This is not only not helpful, but it is destructive. So instead, I resolve to DO something if that is within my power, or to let it go. Let it be. ALLOW.
Some things can't be changed or avoided and just must simple be accepted, and we are all in the same boat, we all suffer. I can wish and hope the best for us all, help when I can, but now wallow in a sense of just feeling sorry for.

It's a

funny coincidence, but as this entry caught my attention and I clicked into “How I did it,” I noticed how long it took you to complete. I am struggling with the same thoughts, and I am 52 years young. It’s a mighty cruel thing to do to ourselves. The other day, through some quiet inner voice, I heard myself say “Hey it’s yesterday. There’s nothing you can do about it except to accept today. Move on!” Thank you for sharing your positive ideas on the matter.

Sorry for rambling. I like your goal list, by the way. Nice.

I Find It Hard to Believe That You Were

...ever a brat. But the past is exactly that, right? I, too, am struggling with this and it’s gotten in my way so much that I haven’t really accomplished anything worthwhile…...yet!
Thanks to you two—you and (IWABMY) for lifting my spirits today!
