Whoa is Me

In my humble and honest opinion,
and partly why I write here,
I am convinced that we have very little control
beyond our own selves.

For those that are constantly attending pity parties;
for those that are all about the 'me';
for those that are trying to steal the shoes of Debbie Downer;
for those that think every deck is stacked against them . . .
your 'Woe is Me' attitude is really
a 'Whoa is Me' sentence.
You stand in your own way.
You create your own drama.
You deny access to supporters.
You give weight to what others think.

Get comfortable in your own skin.
Love that mirror and what you see in it.
Embrace the talents and gifts that you have.
You need not look any further than
the tips of your fingers and the end of your nose
to find an extraordinary person
who needs no applause;
who needs no grandeur;
who needs no back-patting;
who simply needs to love him/her self.
