As I go through my daily routine, I am trying to learn how to improve myself. Only recently I have noticed that I have a tendency to feel sorry for myself, especially now that I have multiple sclerosis. And this self pity is changing into a state wherein I feel more sorry about myself than sorry for myself.
Almost all of what I have gotten out of life so far, I tried to earn. But it occurs to me that most of what I have is due to luck. I have been fortunate to have known good people who have shared their lives and even their wealth with me. It is shocking when I realize how little I have learned from their example.
Yes, it is luck that I have. I wish I had learned to listen more. If I have learned anything, it is that my luck is something I have come to expect, but now I realize how much was given to me by others, not gained through my own work.
I have to amend this. I feel ashamed of my ignorance and arrogance. I have my work cut out for me.
