EP 142: THE "VICTIM" CARD
What’s the difference between real and self-imposed victimization?
Our thoughts!
In the movie Room, as little Jack reads the line
“For you see, out-of-the-way things had happened
lately, that Alice begun to think that very few things
indeed were really impossible.”
From the book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, this
girl’s thoughts changed in one instant, although she had been, and most importantly had believed she was a victim.
Compare this to times in your life when you felt like a
victim, and how you acted… it was something someone said or did, or something happened.
What’s the difference between a victim and a victor? The way we think.
We see this in movies all the time, but we know that art
imitates life.
How can we retell our story in a way that we are victors,
not victims? Even when (and especially when) we are also the villain.
Things to consider if you’ve felt like a victim, a prisoner, when in fact the door was wide open:
1. Own your part in having co-created your current state (bad choices, over eating, wrong guy, over spending) … feeling powerless!
2. Decide to own your future journey from here on out
3. Own when you don’t take action… don’t blame external circumstances
4. Adapt (start) an attitude of “I got myself into this, I’ll get myself out it”
5. Use your influence, your VISION (The Power of Vision Ep 97), your VOICE… take action and SPEAK your future into being.
6. It’s ok to experience pain, but don’t allow it to become part of you, don’t carry it!
Travel LIGHT!!
IMPORTANT:
If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t
feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!
