Victim Mentality…
We are all victims of some crime but choosing to sit in victim space is a choice.. I heard over and over to learn to stand up thru the fight.. I did not understand what it meant but now I do… To learn to stand UP through the fight, wow that is truly powerful. We learn to stand tall and strong when the storm comes knocking on our door.. We learn to stay standing in the hard times. We learn to roll with the punches. We learn to accept it for what it is. Most important we learn to hold onto our INTEGRITY and SELF-RESPECT! That, no one can take away! They can bruise our ego, they can hurt our feelings, and they can physical hurt us. But we have the power to heal ourselves and it is our job to do exactly that. Most important we get to decide how long do we want to sit in victim space? So to do that we have to ask ourselves… What is this lesson? Instead of why me? Ask ourselves what part do I play in this and what part of it is within my control? Take our ownership in it and decide what we can do about it within our own control. We do have power of choice. Life will show up and not always rainbows and butterflies as we wish. So when the hard times come… Feel into it, confront it, take all the time you need to in it because yes, we will be the victims at times. Sometimes at times we know in our heart we do not deserve it. But it is up to you to ask yourself the why and the what questions. I do believe everything happens for a reason. Often times we learn that there was a lesson in it as there always is. So stop choosing to stay in victim mentality because you are not alone we all hit that place. You have the power within to CHANGE any situation you are in. Bad things happen but if you survived it and are still here to fight thru then you are already winning. At times it feels safe in victim space because we now have someone else to blame. Other times we are the victim of someone else’s rage. We get knocked down and we can get back up. But learning to stand up through it to me means to hold onto our integrity and self respect.
