I have learned that, if we set our mind to it, we have an incredible, almost awesome ability to find misery in any situation, even the most wonderful of circumstances.
Shoulders bent, head down, we shuffle through life taking our blows.
Be done with it. Take off the gray cloak of despair, negativity, and victimization. Hurl it; let it blow away in the wind.
We are not victims. We may have been victimized. We may have allowed ourselves to be victimized. We may have sought out, created, or re created situations that victimized us. But we are not victims.
We can stand in our power. We do not have to allow ourselves to be victimized. We do not have to let others victimize us. We do not have to seek out misery in either the most miserable or the best situations.
We are free to stand in the glow of self-responsibility.
Set a boundary! Deal with the anger! Tell someone no, or stop that! Walk away from a relationship! Ask for what you need! Make choices and take responsibility for them. Explore options. Give yourself what you need! Stand up straight, head up, and claim your power. Claim responsibility for yourself!
And learn to enjoy what's good.

Oh I'll go along with that!
Lovely.
And the sun's shining : )
I work with a lady who considers herself everyone's victim and everything is negative. Not only does it make her miserable but it sets an atmosphere that gets everyone else down.
I love the cloak-flinging analogy, just imagining it makes you feel good! :-)

I've been struggling with this one recently, as regards my delightful eldest child
it's a good mind-set to have
(if you can choose your mind-set)
