Obstacles

When things don’t go as I expect them to, I find it very challenging to not become overly disappointed.  My capacity for feeling sorry for myself is HUGE.  It is so easy for me to slip into a self-defeating, self-depricating, seemingly endless mental barrage of crap aimed squarely at my own head.  How can one overcome these types of obstacles?  Distance oneself from others?  That’s what I have been doing for a few years now.  I became miserable over that and ventured out towards my friends more than I have in a very long time.  Then some really, pretty minor events happened and BAM, here I am in a pit of self-pity.  I want to work through this.  I want to choose to be happy.  I want to just ‘quack like a duck and let it all roll off my back’.  So with that, I say QUACK!
