You are Not a Victim of Circumstance, You are a Warrior

 by Lauren Short

Feeling a little down on life lately? Let's change that mindset! Often times when things seem to go south and fall apart, the internal dialogue is very "poor me." "How can this be happening to me? What did I do to deserve this? Why are all these bad things in my life?" Stop asking these questions, and remove yourself from being reliant on the actions of others.

When you accept a victim circumstance, you are handing away all of your power. You are subconsciously asking someone (or something) to take control of your life. It's this idea of being saved, and that someone will love you more than you love yourself to the point of being willing to fix your life. However the true reality is that most people are only looking out for themselves. They may care for you but will prioritize their own well being over another, which is honestly fine to do. So when you hand over the keys to your life to someone else and lose your power, you should not be surprised if you lose more resources and end up being hurt again. This happened because you allowed it!

In order to stop being a victim, you have to take accountability for your actions. Whether you realize it or not, you have doing something to land in situation you are in today. This doesn't always mean that you've acted poorly or terribly, but maybe you have asked for growth and change to come into your life. In order for new things to happen, you must create space for it. You have to go through uncomfortable switch ups and drastic moves in order to bring in the exciting, fulfilling desires you've always wanted. Accept the challenge that has been presented to you and rise to the occasion.

Begin to look at the hard things as necessary obstacles for you. YOU are the only one strong enough to handle this, YOU are the only one capable enough of finishing this task, YOU are the only one powerful enough to overcome it! You are a warrior in this lifetime who is tackling battles and succeeding. These things are not happening to you, you are controlling the unknown and creating prosperity. 

YOU CAN DO THIS!
