You Can’t Enjoy Personal Satisfaction If You’ve Adopted the Label of Victim
Many people today are practically addicted to being a victim. Everyone seems to have their own little story about why they’re unsuccessful, whether it be that the “system” is against them or that other people are “holding them back,” but they never do anything but use that excuse.
If they can’t find a job or fail at Internet marketing, they’ll blame it on something else, like the mean course creators leaving out information or too much competition in the marketplace.
They’re always the victim, and never the culprit, so others feel inclined to take pity on them. In reality, they’re usually the causes of all of their own problems – especially by being stuck in this mindset.
If you’re one of these people who always blames their problems on people or things around them, you’ll never truly live a happy life until you get out of this mindset. If you think like this, you’ll have no drive to ever change anything in your life for the better, because you’ll automatically assume it’s out of your control.
You can’t make your dreams a reality if you think you’re being held back by all of these imaginary forces, and even worse, giving in to them. By always assuming the role of a victim, you’ll just let everything happen around you while you make no progress.
To stop living in this mindset, you have to realize that there are people who are in much worse conditions who don’t think they’re the helpless victim. There are people out there who live in a first world country with plenty of access to food, water, shelter, and jobs, who think the whole world is against them.
At the same time, there are people who were born and raised in war zones, have no access to clean water, and have no shelter who have hope that they can still be somewhat successful and happy in life.
Realize your potential, count your blessings, and stop acting like you can’t accomplish anything. Once you finally come to the realization that there really aren’t cards stacked against you, you can finally begin working towards your dreams and find happiness.
You won’t be hampered by the thought that people are working against you, so there’s no point in trying. Instead, you’ll see that you and you alone can carve whatever path you want, as long as you’re willing to put in the time and effort. If you believe that you can accomplish your goals, and that there’s nobody holding you back, you can.
