You are your own worst victim

The victim mindset wreaks the most destruction and creates the worst of oppressors.

The victim mindset is established when we find ourselves nursing wounds of experiences and betrayals that have long since passed.

The victim mindset is nurtured when we are emotionally impacted by the behaviour of those who play no meaningful role in our life.

The victim mindset becomes more deeply entrenched when we expect others to make up for our experiences from long before we ever knew them.

The victim mindset is the most debilitating, demoralising, and destructive mindset of them all because it takes offence from being challenged, insult from observation, or feels attacked when advised.

The victim mindset is set firmly on the belief that we are defined by how others treat us, or treated us.

The victim mindset denies us the mindfulness and accountability needed to own our life because we’re waiting for our perceived injustices to be remedied before we allow ourselves to move on.

The victim mindset confuses meaningful action with blind rage.

The victim mindset destroys, but never creates anything of benefit.

The victim mindset wastes away life while lamenting the past.

The victim mindset is a corruption of the soul that fails to separate the moment of being a victim with what we hold onto from the experience long after the experience has passed.

While we’re caught up in that victim mindset, we lose sight of how many around us become victims of our rage, our neglect, our self-consumed approach to life, and our abdication of responsibility in how we’re supposed to show up for them.

The victim mindset therefore spawns more victims, and the only way to rise above it is to own it and want to be more than that.

When you claim your rights before you honour your responsibilities, you’re in a victim state of mind, and you cause oppression while using your feeling of oppression to justify your behaviour.

It always starts with you.
