Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything good in the world.
~~ Helen Keller (1880-1968) ~~

It’s so true. Self-pity, by its very nature, is negative; it has no positive to it and we must never yield to it.

Sometimes we may find ourselves in trying circumstances when everything around us seems to be falling apart and we may be inclined to indulge in self-pity but such indulgence will not help us rectify the situation. Only determined, positive efforts can do that.

So always treat self-pity for what it is: An enemy. And don’t allow it to control your life.
