Self-Pity Woman

As I child I always wished I could fly. I had dreams of flying…always flapping my arms like a bird. It was pretty fun, though I must admit I had some practicing to do!
 
As an adult, I am afraid to confess that I cannot fly. I cannot even run. Some days, I’m luck to walk. But I do have a superpower that sets me apart from others. This superpower puts me in a class of my own. In fact, that’s what this superpower does best. What is it?

One-Minute Life Hack

​You may not believe me, but underneath my Eddie Bauer T-shirt is a great big “S”. It stands for “Self-Pity Woman”, and let me tell you, I’m the BEST at self-pity you’re ever likely to meet.  I don’t mean to brag, but I can feel sorry for myself faster than a speeding bullet. My limiting beliefs can be more powerful than a locomotive. And I am able to leap to conclusions in a single bound!
 
As I said, this power of self-pity sets me apart…literally.  It is the power that can set me apart from potential friends, opportunities, and can drive wedges between my most rewarding relationships. I know. I’ve been there.
 
Why would you want a superpower like that?!...you may be wondering? Well, it is the perfect superpower if you want to blame someone else for your lack of progress in your life, or if you’re scared to move forward in your big, crazy goals.
 
On the other hand, if you’re aching to do, have, or be more than you’ve been before…if you don’t want to be “in a class of your own”, perhaps you’ll discover, like I did, that it just might be time to keep the Eddie Bauer shirt on.
