Shoot the Victim

[Max Power]

The moment you play victim.........you're screwed.

You can't be a victim.......ever. Why?...........because it means you give up control and when you give up control you're denying you were ever in control.

So when things go screwy in your life, you have to say "well, I've created this mess, so now I've got to fix it" as soon as you accept you've created it, some of the burden is lifted, because now your thoughts can focus on how you want the situation to be, instead of how the situation seems to be.

We get ourselves into all sorts of interesting and challenging situations and some of them seem so overwhelming it's easy to look somewhere else to place the blame, but it never works, because all the time we waste feeling like a victim and blaming something or someone else we could be using that time to focus on solutions.

Don't play victim, it usually makes things worse and it sucks up valuable creation time.


Enjoy!

But the government doesn't want me to succeed.
But taxes are so high!
But my parents didn't teach me everything I need to know.
But I'm not as strong as some other people.
But I'm not as pretty as some other people.
But I'm too young.
But I'm too old.
But I haven't been given the same opporunities as other people.
But It's not my fault, it's my parents.
But it's not my fault, it's my doctor.
But it's not my fault, it's my genes.
But it's not my fault, it's my boss.
But it's not my fault, its ...
But...
But...
But...

But it's so much fun playing victim.

I don't know about fun but it is something most people see outside themselves in their world so that makes it more acceptable. The real trick is to consider that out there is actually created in here

Yup. There is no "out there".

It's a cunning illusion, universe, planet, country, city, house, room and you in it, but therein lies the problem.......it seems so big and everything, so it's often overwhelming and easy to play victim.

But if we see that it's our present moment awareness and nothing else outside that exists, then that's all we have focus on. The problem for most will always be sensing something outside of present moment awareness that mostly is feared based and then bring that into the present moment and undermine everything inside the moment.

Victim status and fear are based on what may be outside that may come inside and may hurt us. When we focus on the outside thing that doesn't actually exist yet.........we actually create it inside and then it's real.

YES! Truer words were never spoken.

I was always very good at that ... maybe too good. Lately, I've really been working at getting out of the victim mentality. I still lapse occasionally, but I notice it right away and immediately send out a better thought. That helps a lot.

Marmite for me too.
My mum used to say life’s a stage and we are all born in our own show. The people and things on the stage are our props. When we’re young, adults write the script. As adults we get to play the lead and script our own show. If we don’t like role that’s been handed to us, we get to change it. The meaning we give to the people and props is the illusion we create. If we can’t change the props straight away, we can change the meaning we give to them.
Mum used to say, ‘It’s your show. Make it a show worth watching.’
