From VICTIMHOOD To SELF-AWARENESS: 5 Steps To Help You Take Control

Oct 19, 2021

Do you ever feel like everything that happens in your life is happening TO YOU? Like no matter what you do, you can’t catch a break or whenever things finally start to go your way something happens and you’re faced with another problem or obstacle?

If you feel this way, you may be playing the victim.

Let me esplain…

Sh*t happens in life. We can pray for a problem-free life over and over again, the reality is as long as we’re living problems are going to erupt. They are what help us grow and push us into different seasons of our life and mold us into the people we’re meant to be.

Some of us take those problems as opportunities to learn and grow. While others see problems as the world coming down on us and preventing us from accomplishing the things we want.

The thing is, just because you’re in a tough season and are being tested with different obstacles, doesn’t mean that you aren’t meant for success or aren’t capable of receiving the desires you wish and pray for.

Life doesn’t happen TO YOU, it happens FOR YOU. By blaming the world for the lack you’re experiencing in your life shows that you’re adopting a victim mentality. Surprisingly, you may not even realize that you’re suffering from this.

That’s why in this episode, we’re sharing the signs to look out for and give you five steps to help you gain greater self-awareness and take control of your perspective.
