Not a Victim

I will not be a victim. I choose to step away from the path of disempowerment.

God has given me choice.

  • Choice what to think.
  • Choice whom to be around.
  • Choice to take back a mistake.
  • Choice to move away from bad situations.
  • Choice to make new and better friends.
  • Choice to ask myself hard questions.
  • Choice to do the hard but better thing.
  • Choice whose voices I’ll listen to.
  • Choice to think if what I’m hearing is really true.
  • Choice to choose what I think is best for me.

I take full responsibility for my life and the results of my choices.

  • I choose to read and learn and study and grow.
  • I choose to take better care of me.
  • I choose to start with one small step.
  • I choose to start today.
  • I choose not to be a victim.

Who Says I Can’t?

Can’t do something fulfilling and meaningful?

Can’t work on a job I enjoy?

Can’t be my best self at work?

Can’t speak out my creative ideas?

Can’t find people who like what I like?

Can’t find what I like to do?

Can’t live where I want to live?

Can’t make a change in my life?

Who said these things? Is it really true? Do I have to believe it?

…or could there be something better…some other way?

Am I powerless over my own life, to cherish and challenge it, to develop it and succeed?

Is it pride to think or desire to do these things, or is it my fears trying to hold me back…keep me safe…and from what?

Because if I hold back, not only will I be held back, but by my example I hold others back.

I believe we need to think forward and move forward, constantly getting better, making better and doing better.

They said the Golden Gate bridge could not be built, but there she stands…decades later, the result of one man’s turning others ‘can’ts’ into ‘I can’!

Where do we need to take away the ‘t’ in our lives?
