Luke 23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
Sometimes, people respond to you based on what they feel about a particular situation you're in or their opinion of an 'unfavorable' situation they perceive you to be in. While it's good to have people concerned about you, it's another to have people look at you with needless empathy. Needless empathy can often times lead to a depressed state of the recipient. No matter how tough the challenge(s) you face is/are, you must stay secure in your confidence and optimism. The last thing you ever need is needless or excessive empathy. Do not accept to be an object of pity. The scripture above shows the travails of Jesus before His crucifixion, seeing so much pain and agony He faced, the women around Him wept, and also with some form of concern and empathy for him, then Jesus spoke out and told them not to weep for Him. This is figurative, one of the ways you lose strength easily is to accept needless and endless empathy, you should surround yourself with people who gear you up, people who sometimes even have constructive criticisms. Do not accept being an object of pity. You're on a journey of success, you're a success! Do have a restful weekend ahead.
