I am ... rooted in yesterday,
When I should be... embracing the here and now.
I am ... holding onto hurt, anger and disappointment,
When I should be... practicing forgiveness and offering love.
I am ... yearning for what I don't have,
When I should be... rejoicing in the treasure that surrounds me.
I am... searching for faults, both his and my own,
When I should be... admiring strengths, encouraging accomplishments, and
praising achievements.
I am... clinging to regret and mourning unrealized dreams,
When I should be... looking towards the future with hope and excitement.
I am... indulging in self-pity,
When I should be... LIVING!

Wow. That's some powerful stuff. I'd imagine it describes a lot of people.
Definately... I don't think there's anyone who doesn't harbor some regrets and roll in some self pity. I know I do.
Wow. I think a lot of us feel this way. You've hit a nerve with me. I should be living too.
