Tired of Being a Victim? Then STOP!

If you're tired of being a victim, then STOP!! The only way you can stop being a victim is by not talking and acting like a victim.  For some reason our society LOVES the "victim" mentality. 

It seems more and more each day people are "victims" of something:

-Victims of the bad economy
-Victims of violence
-Victims of circumstance
-Victims of their upbringing

I think I'll start a new one:  Victims of being victims.

Please...Stop with all the "victim" talk and thinking.  Thanks to the Law of Attraction we know that our thoughts create our reality; our world.  So, if you constantly talk about being a victim (of what ever) I GUARANTEE that you will draw MORE of those situations into your life.

At the risk of sounding cold, harsh and uncaring I have the following statements to make:

So, you lost your job?  GET OVER IT!! Whining and complaining is NOT going to change the situation, and if you took a good look at the situation it's probably a blessing.  I would be willing to bet that you more than likely were in a job you hated and only went to each day "for the money."  I'm sure there's something you've always wanted to do, but didn't because you were too busy working at that job you HATED.  So, look at your job loss as a gift..Go and do whatever it is you've been dying to do!

To all you victims of violence:
I am sure whatever you experienced was tragic and painful for you, but does living in fear (or anger) really help you in your life NOW?  Try to look at that experience and learn something from it (besides anger, fear and/or hatred).  I know...I can just feel your fingers reaching for the keyboard to send me hate mail...but if you look at whatever happened,  can you see the part you played in the situation?
Perhaps you were hanging with the "wrong" crowd?  Maybe you constantly thought about a situation over and over and your fear of whatever it was happening to you.  Instead of keeping that "thing" at bay all your thoughts did was bring that fear to fruition.

To the people who say "I'm a victim of circumstance.": 
Unless you're under 7 years old (the age of reasoning) I don't buy into you being a "victim of circumstance."  Even children can change their circumstances by going to a trusted adult.  If you are an adult you have many options available to help you get out of whatever your so-called perceived circumstance might be. 

If you have a job you hate...take a class...even if only once per semester, and work towards improving yourself so you can find a better job.  Send out resumes (yes even in this economy) at worst you'll get some interview experience and at best you'll get a job offer. Better yet, start your own business.

If you're in a relationship and you're not happy.  Do some soul searching.  Usually we are not happy with ourselves, so before you kick  your significant other to the curb...explore what exactly is making you unhappy.  Because wouldn't it be a shame to kick your partner to the curb only to find out the "trouble maker" is stilling living with you because it is YOU?

Lastly, to you "victims of your upbringing or childhood." 

Please just STOP IT ALREADY!!!  I know..I sound cold, cruel, heartless and bunch of other unprintable adjectives...but really? How long are you going to blame your parents for the way you are?  You could be 25, 35, 70 years old now and you are STILL blaming hour parents.  When the heck do YOU become responsible for YOUR life???

Unless you are chained up in a dungeon in the basement of your parent's home, please stop with the mantra "my parents did........" You are an adult.  Remember?  This is what most people looked forward to for the first 18 years of life.  They wanted to be an adult to MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS AND CHOICES. 

It's all YOU...You can either choose to live a fulfilling life and go after what you desire in life or you can sit in your pity pool and wallow in what was, what could have been and what will never be.

Bottom line:  Either way it's ALL ON YOU and no one else. So, you can either be a victim or a victor...take your choice.
