| People complain of hardship. I see it every day. The victim mentality is adopted by society. 0 accountability. They play the blame game. It’s always someone else’s fault. It’s never their own. Whining and whining feeling like they will keep moving forward because it wasn’t their own problem. You need to take every problem or issue that comes at you and adopt it as your own. Even if it isn’t. I’m not saying if you adopt the problem as your own, you caused it. But if every problem or issue that arises in your life, caused by yourself or others, is taken on as your own; you will grow far quicker in your own mind and body. Think about it. Someone crashes into your car. No serious injuries or damage. But what could have done to possibly avoid the situation. Perhaps nothing. But now you’ve got insurance to ring, you don’t have a dash cam. It’s your word against theirs. It was dark, there were no cameras. You could have an annoying three-month legal battle. You could whine about it, or you can own it, and get to work. Someone could cancel last minute causing a complete f*ck up of the week’s events. Someone could get your order wrong. Someone could simply scroll in front of you while trying to have a meaningful conversation. It could be the smallest of things. Or it could be extreme. Either way, think about what you can learn from this situation. Don’t wallow into a bubble of self-pity thinking “Why does this always happen to me?” It’s an opportunity for growth. Use it to explore how you can deal with these situations instead of running. Face them. Accept them. Deal with them. You will become stronger for it. Life isn’t easy. It’s never going to be. But adopting a victim mindset or running from problems by playing the blame game is going to get you nowhere. Except for a life full of misery. |
