Sometimes a pity-party feels justified. It seems like no one else gets it, that life is so hard and unfair. But when we indulge in self-pity, we’re not doing ourselves any favors. We’re casting ourselves as the victim, as someone who’s helpless and at the mercy of everything and everyone else. Is that who you want to be? If not, it’s time to believe something different. It’s time to be the hero of your story.
