So easy to be a victim…
In the business I’m in I get to speak to many individuals in a day, many different individuals on a day to day basis and over the years I have to come to realise that some people have the same excuses every day but just for different situations in their lives..
I have always thought that ‘it is easy to be a victim’but it takes hard work, perseverence and consistency to stand out, to reach your goals, to make any sort of difference in your life and to be a survivor and to be a leader.
Blame is one of the biggest excuses I have come across - ‘I cant eat right because my partner refuses to’or ‘I cant workout because I have no time’or ‘my family treated me badly when I was growing up so now I’m scarred for life’or ‘I have bad genetics’or ’someone really hurt me and changed my life forever.’ - I am not being judgemental at all - but I am telling you from personal experience that ‘the choice to live your life the way you want is yours and only yours’ - for me personally I have been working on this for as long as I can remember having my life and the truth is that I am still working on it. I know that every choice I make along the way has consequences not just for that moment also for all my tomorrows.
To be a victim to circumstances is to surrender all your power over the one life that you have been blessed with. There is amazing miracles that reside within the human spirit - you can accomplish anything if you believe it first, if you constantly need other people to encourage you to believe then I’m afraid you have the wrong map of life - you need to be your biggest fan - you need to wake up every morning and say ‘thank you for giving me yet another day on this Earth, so that I can make the choice to be happy, to live without regrets, to take one step closer to my aspirations and to know that matter where I am in my life I can go wherever I choose’.
This wont happen overnight - it takes practice and consistency, reminding yourself constantly to stay in a state of gratitude…the world has too many whiners - we need more survivors.
I leave you with this today…
When you allow athought of doubt to enter your mind, the law of attraction will soon line up one doubtful thought after another. The moment a thought of doubt comes, release it immediately and send it on its way. Replace it with "I know I am receiving now."and feel it.

Another fantastic blog!! Great depth and truth!! Some people WANT to be a victim though. They have chosen that role and are way too frightened to give it up. But that is ok…that is their karma to walk! Their chose to make!! Thank god for the survivors and the warrior spirits!! And those who are truly living ‘The Secret’!!

Great blog Melinda! That is the unfortunate truth. So many people give way too much power to a situation or another person to the point where they just flat out give up on realizing any of their hopes or dreams and deside they cant make anything better and won’t even try. They fail to impower themselves instead and take control of their own destiny and not let it be controled by another individual or a particular circumstance. Keep up the great writing! Oh, and training too!
