Question: Why do we feel sorry for ourselves!?
I hear alot of ppl say "Oh my son broke his arm" or "my daughter was in a car wreck and is in the hospital ALIVE!."
There is this guy i know and he is blind and he is with this thing called Team National and he has made millions of $$$$ and he is blind!. He is upbeat and kind!. I have never once heard him complain about his blindness and i have known him since i was 2 months old!!!

I just wanna know why we always feel sorry for oursleves when we can be happy when things aren't going the way we planned!. When we just sit around and complain than nothing good will happen but when we look at the positive side of things our world will turn (right) back around!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The power of positive thinking!
You're right,but a lot of people have been conditioned to think a certain way since early childhood!. It can be hard to change those thought patterns even with consistent effort!. While intellectually I know it's much better to be an optimist than a pessimist,it's a continual struggle to do it!. But as the saying goes,while there's life there's hope!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
