"Self Pity is the most miserable party..." - Quote by Joyce Meyer

“When we fill our thoughts with right things, the wrong ones have no room to enter”

“You have to press against the pressure that’s pressing against you!”

“Breaking old habits and forming new ones always takes time, but it is worth it in the end.”

“Feeling sorry for ourselves is the most useless waste of energy on the planet. It does absolutely no good. We can't let our circumstances or what others do or don't do control us. We can decide to be happy regardless.”

“Self-pity in its early stage is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.”

“You can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift...You get to choose”

“Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yours ... never doubt the excellence and permanence of what is yet to be. Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness.”

“There will be little rubs and disappointments everywhere, and we are all apt to expect too much; but then, if one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to another; if the first calculation is wrong, we make a second better: we find comfort somewhere.”

“I grew convinced that truth, sincerity and integrity in dealings between man and man were of the utmost importance to the felicity of life, and I formed written resolutions . . . to practice them ever while I lived.”
