We all have been the victim of something in our lives.\u00a0 Whether it be of a bad family situation, bad breakup, health issues, negative work environment.\u00a0 Woe is me, we say.\u00a0 I have it so rough, we say.\u00a0 We might even be guilty of exaggerating our circumstance a little bit to get more emotions and sympathy out of people.\u00a0 It is human nature.\u00a0 BUT it is also a good way to drive people away from you… and not to mention drive away your own personal happiness and success.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Often times when you hear people tell a story such as “my work environment is terrible” OR “that relationship was awful, he\/she did this and that”…there is always more to the story.\u00a0 Not saying people are not at fault sometimes, but we are ALL at fault for something<\/strong>.\u00a0 Nobody is perfect and every side has a story.<\/p>\n

\"victim-quote\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This has been a struggle for me lately, my stress levels at work are at an all time high and I have been struggling to stay positive.\u00a0 I will be the first to admit, I need to vent about things every once in a while. \u00a0 But I also know constantly venting about others will NOT change any situation.\u00a0 I have to take control. \u00a0 I have more power than I think to change any given situation.<\/p>\n

\"VICTIM2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We are selfish.\u00a0 We always want to know what others can do for US, that we rarely think about what WE can do.\u00a0 Especially in relationships.\u00a0 When is the last time, that instead of complaining about a situation..you took ownership and CHANGED it?\u00a0 It is easy to play the victim.\u00a0 People feel bad for you.\u00a0 You get attention.\u00a0 But it is HARD to own up to our weaknesses and make changes.\u00a0 Successful people do not put fault on others, they power through regardless of the challenges.\u00a0 They find a way.\u00a0 They take ownership of what they need to work on and fix it.<\/p>\n

What do YOU do to better your relationships, your health, your work, your family?\u00a0 What do YOU bring to the table?<\/p>\n

Stay blessed in the mess \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
