When you think you have it bad, someone always has had it worse than you... *Tissue Alert*

Tissue Alert!

 

This came up on my feed on FB and it made me think about how we can all sit an wallow in our pity parties when life throws us a curve ball that shakes us to our core. Whether it's the death of a loved one, the loss of trust by someone you love, or a crappy medical diagnosis like herpes (or worse). We can convince ourselves our world is "over", that we have been "wronged" by life, or that we are unlovable.

 

OR, we can overcome it all, find something really beautiful about ourselves, and share it with the world. Emmanual Kelly is one of those people who you could say has every right to feel that the world has wronged him...that his handicaps would make him "unlovable", yet he has continued to move forward even when he gets knocked down...

And BTW, in the next Audition, he choked and forgot the words to the song and was eliminated.... but instead of wallowing in self pity and giving up, he has since recorded 2 more songs and a video and was invited back to one of the final X-factor recordings to sing again.

 

Enjoy :)

I couldn't watch the whole thing, as I am at work, but it does put things in perspective! Thank you for sharing and reminding us that this isn't life ending, bigger things will happen in our lives!
