I feel like at least 90% of my life has consisted of me beating myself up over my flaws and shortcomings.  And, it’s really sad and plain ridiculous when you think about it because I’m always going to be flawed.  It’s a mental battle that I will never win.  The only viable solution for overcoming the trap of self pity is to surrender.  And, I hate admitting defeat.

I’m hoping and praying right now that God will allow me to stop thinking about myself.  God is perfect, He knows everything, and He has it all together.  If I can spend even just 1% more of my life dedicated to thinking about Him, I’m sure I will be in a better place.
