Last night, for the first time, I hosted a segment to put an electric JOLT into the listeners. Normally, I interview guests and provide the most powerful, uplifting, motivating messages I can. This segment though, I wanted to talk about the POWER in the Pity Party. Too often, I meet people that are empowered through self pity. The problem is when you throw a pity party, you are the only guest. Then you have a choice: Wallow in the mess or get out.
What is it about self-pity that we seem to gain strength from? Frustration? Lack? Worry? Fear? What is it? I took 30 minutes to talk about why we really don't need much of what we enjoy today in society. Why do we have color television sets? Cordless telephones? Life Coaches? Microwaves? YMCA's? Why in the world do single parents need Single Parent Assistance, Resources & Knowledge, Inc. What is the point?
You do have a right to be upset, frustrated, hurt and angry. Don't stay in the "I feel sorry for myself state" too long though. Please, if you are feeling alone, frustrated, sad or confused, download the podcast below and concentrate on taking back control of YOUR life. You matter, you're special, you're amazing.
Pay attention in life to others and re-evaluate your life and the choices you have made.
1. Identify your problems
2. Seek out a solution
3. Change your environment
Ask yourself this: If what you're doing is not solving the problem that you are in, what else can you do to solve your problem? What can you change? What can you do differently? There are 55 days left in this year. Make the changes necessary in 2009 to take control of 2010. You really can live your BEST life now. Believe it!
