Feeling sorry for ourselves is a waste of valuable time
and a nauseating nuisance. We might have had no control over what people did to
us or the adversities we’ve suffered in life, but we do have total control over
our responses to them. We’re miserable because we’re discontent with what we
have or who we are. We’re resentful because we’ve chosen to be held hostage by
negative emotions and bad attitudes. We crave attention because we really think
the world owes us something. We feel helpless because we don’t believe in God’s
promises and power. This plain truth can set us free (cf. John 8:32). It’s time
to wake up from the stupor of self-pity and start taking ownership of our
actions and destiny.—Samuel Koranteng Pipim
