You Are Not A Victim

So you have suffered. So what? Who has not suffered? Some more than others, that is true.

In America, despite minor residual classism, sexism, racism, GLBTism and huge, problematic group discrimination against individuating individualists, this is still a land of fabulous opportunity for those with a dream, working hard and smart to apply themselves to make the dream become a reality.

Even if you have been a victim in some major or minor way, you are not a loser--despite what the rest of the world says about you--unless you accept, believe and repeat repeatedly that you have are a victim, and that alleged condition is the alibi that will serve quite nicely to prevent you from doing anything with your life, or amounting to anything in the future.

The world cannot make you a victim by whatever has happened to you up to now. You make yourself a victim by your self-defeating, self-hating embracing of victimhood status as wholly defining your personhood, moribidly proclaiming, believing and remaining a victim. Being a victim has become your delimiting destiny.

Bullfeathers! You are beautiful in your own way. Your talents and creativity are boundless. You can do just about anything Get to it. Cast aside your alibis and crippling victimhood mantle.

Neither victim or victimizer be, but self-actualize as long as you have breath in your body. That is returning the gift of life back to God, and your stellar life is your living prayer, you offering back to the Almighty for all the blessings bestowed upon you.
