VICTIM

You are a victim when the explanation for your action is outside yourself and so beyond your control. What is always in your control is how you generate explanations and take action on choices you have made from the inside-out. If you go out in the rain and get wet you can blame the rain or recognise that you forgot to take a coat or an umbrella and learn from the experience.

If you look outside yourself for explanations you will always live in a mood of resignation and angst – because you feel you cannot do anything about anything. If you respect yourself and take responsibility for your choices then you will live in a mood of possibility and so find acceptance and inner peace.
