Are you playing a victim in the story that is your life?
Do you blame others for your current situation?
Are you taking action to change that story or allowing others to dictate it for you?
Take a minute and answer those questions honestly with no judgment. If you said yes to any or all of those then this is the perfect opportunity to make a conscious shift toward changing your life.
This quote by Stephen Covey sheds light on the fact that it doesn’t matter what your current situation is, you decisions are what leads to your outcome. However, there are many people still blaming external circumstances for their current situation. They would rather sit idly continuing to play the victim than to step up and take action to make a positive change.
This is not to diminish anyone’s struggles or challenges. We all have our own stuff to face and work through. No matter what those issues are or what others think, our issues are mountain size to us. It’s our life, our experience, and we know all of the behind-the-scenes drama.
That said whatever it might be for you, whatever is keeping you stuck, are you doing anything about it. If the answer is no, stop and ask yourself, what can you do to start rewriting the script of your life?
People often trap themselves by thinking this is how it is. This is their life. These are the cards they were dealt and there is nothing they can do about it.
If that resonates with you, I’m here to tell you right now that it is complete B.S.
Bad childhood? Devastating breakup? Financial trouble? Join the club. You are not alone.
The real question is, “What are you doing about it?”
You can easily do a Google search and see all of the famous and successful people that have experienced some type of childhood, financial, or relationship trauma and have pushed through it to get to where they are today.
So can you! If you are still breathing then your story is not over. You still have many chapters left to write.
If you are not happy with your current condition what is one thing you can do in the next 24 hours to make a positive shift? Because the bottom line is, it’s up to you to make a change, no one else.
Everything you’ve done up until now has led you here and everything you decide to do moving forward will determine where you end up.
Throw away the victim card and start creating the life you want.
Now it’s your turn.
