Have you ever met someone who is often the victim in life? "Why has this happened to me mentality". This person often believes that emotions just come to them without having any control themselves over how they can feel. They may let outside influences affect their life so if it is raining outside for instance, they make it mean that they are going to have a bad day. In return they may get attention from others & have the added bonus of not having to take responsibility in their life. This may work for a while, until they dig a deeper hole and the feeling of disempowerment overcomes them.
We have a choice, we can be the victim or the warrior.
By choosing to take responsibility for your life & how you will respond to whatever challenge life brings you, it allows you to step up, learn & grow. An empowering way to operate in this world designed with challenges built in.
So important to have this mindset in life.
ReplyDeleteThe difference in being proactive in life or just reactive.
ReplyDeleteLove the Jim Rohn quote, you can't change the circumstances but you can change yourself.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteSo much more empowering and effective to be above the line. A great tool to utilise in business.
ReplyDeleteI'll be a warrior any day.
ReplyDeleteGreat reminder to oneself that if things aren't working or going the way we want, then we need to take some level of accountability. If there is a pattern evolving in our life then it must involve some level of contribution on our part to keep reaching status quo. Very often we do not even realise that we are the catalyst in the equation. Im sure we have all been there, done that, but a little self awareness goes a long mile, I usually use reflection as a tool to meditate on the past and see if I could have done anything differently to produce a more positive result.
