About this Quote

This quote by Helen Keller speaks with the power of self-pity and how it can be our worst enemy. Self-pity can be an effective force that can avoid us from accomplishing our objectives and living our finest life. It can be a trap that keeps us stuck in a cycle of negative attitude and sensation sorry for ourselves. By giving into self-pity, we can end up being overwhelmed by our own feelings and be not able to do something about it. We can end up being so focused on our own issues that we forget to look at the bigger photo and take advantage of the chances that life needs to offer. Helen Keller's quote advises us that if we yield to self-pity, we will never ever be able to do anything sensible in this world. Instead, we should focus on the favorable and do something about it to make our dreams a reality. By doing so, we can overcome our worst opponent and maximize our lives.
