"There is always someone who has it worse than you, and better than you, someone uglier than you, someone prettier than you, someone you envy and someone you pity."
This is my motto. Helps me pull myself together, helps me become much more productive.
Think on it, then get out there and, as the Eagles sing, "Do something."
This has been a post for the IWSG, the Insecure Writer's Support Group, which can be found at IWSG and on Facebook at IWSG-FB. Please visit and leave comments on the other blogs participating (of which many will get hundreds of comments, while others will only get a few...)

So true! We just have to do the best we can.
ReplyDeleteAnd sometimes we have to look back and see what we've accomplished and celebrate it. We are far more epic than we give ourselves credit.

Very important to remember! We just have to be the best we can be ourselves. :)
ReplyDeleteYour saying is, of course, exactly right. I only have to read the news to find out how wonderful my life is. And I'm so far into this life that comparing my physical attributes to others is useless. It is what it is. I am what I am.
ReplyDeleteVery wise words, mon cherie! :) BTW, where exactly are you moving? I've been sooo out of the loop. Missed you like crazy. Eva
ReplyDeleteThat's good to remember, especially when you're throwing a pity party for yourself. The world is very complex and intricate, and just because something isn't working today doesn't mean it won't later.
ReplyDeleteLook back and count your blessings! There are so many. Let them inspire you to move forward:)
ReplyDeleteGreat motto and definitely true. I am going to remember it for myself.
ReplyDeleteLove the quote Lisa, sometimes I tend to enjoy the pity parties I throw for myself.
ReplyDeleteLike you I am trying to get more productive this month.

Hi Lisa - we sometimes need to change direction, make a decision and get on with things ... no pity party allowed ... needs must .. and always look on the bright side - life is easier!
ReplyDeleteSo right ... see you anon - cheers Hilary
Something I learned in studying Tarot is that life is not unique. Your story has been told before. Many of the circumstances are different, but of the trillions of people that has ever existed, your story is not a new one.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't mean you aren't a great person, but it allows you to understand that you are not so alone in this world, and your problems are not so drastic and may have a solution as well. It's important to keep people in your life.
Love your motto, Lisa, and it's so true.
ReplyDeleteI'm back doing the A to Z Challenge again this year- whew!!
Good to see your blog post in my mailbox this morning. 💕💕
Beautifully said, Lisa :) Have a great rest of the week! ~Lori~

Great motto! One of my favorites is the Nike slogan: "Just do it."
