11 Quotes by Alex Uwajeh

Self-pity is a negative emotion that focuses only on the things you perceives to be bad about your life or your situation. When you’re wallowing in self-pity about how nothing is going your way, you’re completely overlooking the good things in your life that you could be grateful for instead. When.

No matter how little you have, there are things to be thankful for. Being grateful is an attack on self-pity. Every evening for the rest of your life write down at least one thing you are grateful for that day. Just do it. Once you have a list of items that make you happy, throw self-pity out of the window.

What you may not realize is that the words you say, and the words you hear from others have the power to change your entire life.

You have it worse than everyone else and no one understands what you are going through. You feel sorry for yourself because it feels good to have a pity party. Self-pity and feeling sorry for yourself is comforting. No matter what happens, you are in control of how you act and what you do. You are the only key to how you react when someone dies, you lose your job or when someone cheats on you.

Your attitude doesn’t emerge from the things that happen to you. Instead your attitude comes from how you handle events and situations.

No matter the situation, it’s possible to find a positive point of view to replace any negative thoughts. Work on finding positive affirmations that work for the situation you’re facing and you’ll find it’s much easier to work through any challenge before you.

The words you say may have a huge effect on other people, but they also affect you too. The words that come out of your mouth go into your ears as well as anyone else listening. Those words sink into your personality and play a part on your mood.

By comparison, you can change a person’s life for the better with words. Your choice of words can build confidence and self-esteem. Your words have the power to make someone laugh or brighten their day. Your words can educate someone in such a way that brightens their understanding of a subject. Your words can let someone know you’re grateful for their efforts or thankful for their love and support.

The way you use and choose words defines who you are. How you use words touches you as well as those around you. Without really thinking about it, you can change another’s thoughts, beliefs and actions by using the power of words.
