People tell us it’s okay to be victims or to be sad all the time. They want to influence the way you think and control the way you live your life. It is okay to be sad over something that occurred but it’s not okay to stay there. You must pull yourself up out of that negative life, make it better, learn the lessons you need to learn from that event, and move on.

Too many, mostly young people, see their peers on social media complain about how they were abused by their parents or siblings got more than they did, neither of which is real most of the time. Those who have been abused often find a way to get stronger and do their best to find the way to a better life, but they are not the ones I am addressing here.

As they watch this victim’s way of thinking expand, either on social media, they feel like they should be part of it and invent issues that are not real to fit in. They want to have the approval of others, to live in that bubble. Put the brakes on that and call BS. Get to where you want to be for a better life. Don’t try to fit in. Think about that – why would you do that? Break away from that toxic way of thinking and those who refuse to move on because they get attention from it, it’s no way to live life, let them wallow in their toxicity, don’t be a part of it, and don’t stay there, walk away from all that, hell… run away from it.

We also look at others we perceive to be better off than us, because of the mansions they live in or the expensive cars they drive, and feel that we should have a great life as they do. Many of us believe we are entitled to live a similar life. Well, I don’t know about you, but that guarantee I was born with (weren’t we all) saying I would have a wonderful, carefree life of luxury was somehow lost; I can’t seem to find it. OH YEAH, there is no guarantee, your lives are up to us to make changes when necessary and overcome hardships where we can. Unless we live in their skin, we have no idea what their life is really like. Grasp this: money only makes life easier, not better; a better life is a mindset.

No matter what the situation you are in, learn to get over it and find a way to improve your life if that is what is necessary, make no excuses, and don’t blame others for your life. I get that message all the time from the souls I talk to. Once you set your mind to change and fix your life, and no longer be a victim, you will walk away from that victim you created. See it as a challenge, stand up to that challenge, and face it with confidence; you will and can work through it. Look forward to defeating it. That is up to you; you are responsible for your life. Never say, I can’t or listen to those who tell you, you can’t because you can when you set your mind to it.

Never give others power over you, who may want you to be a victim like them, walk away from the toxic people who are doing their best to influence and control you to live that awful life they live. Let them stay where they are you don’t need to be there. Never be a follower, because someone is living a sad tough life & wants you to stay there with them leave them behind start your own path to a better life. You can do it and you should.
