Today is a new day. Don't let your history interfere with your destiny!
Let today be the day you stop being a victim of your circumstances and
start taking action towards the life you want. You have the power and the
time to shape your life. Break free from the poisonous victim mentality
and embrace the truth of your greatness. You were not meant for a mundane or
mediocre life!

The problem that we have with a victim mentality is that we forget to see
the blessings of the day. Because of this, our spirit is poisoned instead of
nourished.

There are times in my life when I have been medicine for some while
poison for others. I used to think I was a victim of my story until I
realized the truth; that I am the creator of my story. I choose what type of
person I will be and what type of impact I will leave on others. I will
never choose the destructive path of self and outward victimization again.

Life is not compassionate towards victims. The trick is not to see

yourself as one. It's never too late! I know I've felt like the victim in
various situations in my life, but, it's never too late for me to realize that
it's my responsibility to stand on victorious ground and know that
whatever it is I'm experiencing or going through, those are just the clouds rolling
by while I stand here on the top of this mountain! This mountain called Victory!
The clouds will come and the clouds will go, but the truth is that I'm high up here
on this mountaintop that reaches into the sky! I am a victor. I didn't climb up the
mountain, I was born on top of it!
C. JoyBell C.

There are two different kinds of people in the world. There are people
who instinctively look for every chance to be a victim and those who
look for every chance to rise aboveregardless of where they are in life
and whats happening around them. There are people who realize their
ability to create (greatly influence) reality toward a positive direction for
themselves and those around them, and unfortunately those who use this power we
all have for destructive purposes for themselves and othersmany times without
even knowing what theyre doing or the power they have inside themselves. We are
all powerful individuals. Lets use that power to create something beautiful!

At first you might wonder what you did to deserve such treatment.
Nothing, probably, so that doesn't matter. What matters is that,
eventually, the abuse becomes the status quo. It's no longer about the
whats and whys (what did I do? why are they doing this?) but the
whens and hows (when are they going to do it? how are they going to get me?).
Persecution becomes inevitable, inescapable. And once you get into the victim
mindset, you're fucked. The bullies don't even need to hurt you now; your poor,
warped, pathetic brain is doing half the work for them.

When you can truly understand how others experience your behavior, without
defending or judging, you then have the ability to produce a breakthrough in your
leadership and team. Everything starts with your self-awareness. You cannot take
charge without taking accountability, and you cannot take accountability without
understanding how you avoid it.

Because that happened to me when I was little, this is how I will now
treat other people"; "Because so and so beat me up and hurt me a long
time ago, that gives me the right to treat people the way I treat them,
today"; "Because life was hard on me, life should be hard on everyone
else around me" does this sound/ look familiar? It's called victim mentality.
When people choose to be the direct product of everything that happened to them,
the direct product of every single pair of hands that hurt them. And the world, to
these people, must bend over backwards in order to accommodate their wounds.
Some people don't want to be loved; they just want to make the world pay.

the moral high ground someone else is causing the misery, right? Victims can
easily justify why they are right. Victims allow themselves to be stuck in the status
quo and they excel at seeing the faults in others, ignoring their own re-sponsibility.
They love to take others inventory of faults and are excellent at blaming. Victims
become hypersensitive to real and perceived injustice, where any slight becomes a
reason to reject. Victimization is the toxic wind blowing through families, fanning
the fires of dysfunction.

Where I had felt a victim, I had become a determiner by recognizing I

had choices. When considering a purchase, I stopped saying, "I can't
afford it," and started saying, "That's not where I want to spend that

If what you are able to give to others, in this life, is only proportionate to
what you received from people in your past it only means one thing.
You are a victim of life's circumstances, a direct and utter equivalent of
what has been done to you. Rise above and become more! Be better than
what happened to you.

[on the Victim Mentality] It takes a great level of intelligence to

Victim mentality only creates helplessness, the most maddening, miserable and
upsetting of mental states. In fact, it is commonly reported that nothing triggers
madness like a sense of helplessness. It is a cousin of paranoia, a sense that the
world is out to get you, that there is some opposition, some rivalry between you
and the world. This is a warped, twisted mentality that offers no benefits, and,
more importantly, is manifestly false.

Victimhood gives us great moral superiority and entitles us to unquestioning

sympathy while exempting us from examining any single one of our actions. A
victim is utterly devoid of responsibility or blame. This of course leaves us
vulnerable as we will carry on engaging in precisely the behaviour which provoked
an unacceptable response.

I do not subscribe to the abuse "victim" or "survivor" labelling mentality.

I have experienced every kind of abuse imaginable and I am and always
have been the most happy-go-lucky, positive and life affirming person
around. Your labels do not serve you, so don't use them as an excuse to
be miserable. You have a beautiful life to live, so accept the beauty and start living.
