Weekly Thoughts

Do you feel sorry for yourself? Beware of indulging in self-pity. Perhaps coveted honors have not come your way, or your pet plans have been thwarted, or you are disappointed in life or in love. Don't go around with a "chip on your shoulder," feeling you are not appreciated. After all, disappointments, problems, handicaps and other obstacles are part of life and rightly handled can actually become stepping-stones to better things.

Thoughts by the late Rev. Paul Osumi are selected weekly by his family.
