My thought for today is self-pity. A subtle state of being that sneaks in upon us and can become dangerous if left unchecked. Self-pity can be the doorway to old isolating thoughts which, in turn, lead to old bad behaviours. Self-pity is pride turned inward. Pride keeps us from asking for help, self-pity convinces us that getting help wouldn't matter anyway. Gratitude, being of service to others, staying connected with others and remaining active can help us to defeat self-pity before it defeats us.
