Living Life When You’re Not A Victim

Within our world there are victims everywhere. Victims every second of every day. We hear them all the time sharing their stories and problems as if the world was about to end. Do you have a victim mentality that’s holding you back?

Things take place every second of every day, it is how we look at those certain events that help us form opinions and influence our way of thinking and habits.

It’s amazing when you start the day off badly, things just continue to go wrong. You spill your coffee, then you miss the bus or the train, you drop all the papers you were carrying all over the ground and you can’t imagine what will happen next.

Funnily enough, if you had reacted differently to the spilt coffee the continuing bad events wouldn't of occured. The majority of people would be blaming someone or something else for that coffee being spilt. The reason for this is we naturally prefer to be the victim rather than the "Cause", and accepting it for what it is.

One of the great powers of the universe, that changes people’s lives forever, is when you start to understand the law of "Cause and Effect".

There is a "Cause and Effect"for everything that happens. Those with a victim mentality will always be the "Effect" and blame others, never take . They therefore live a life of unhappiness as they are always the victim, happily giving reasons and justifications on why things work out badly, couldn't work out at all or don't happen.

Those of us that realise they are the "Cause" of events have a completely different outlook on life. When events take place and you take responsibility for them you come from a completely different position of power and therefore you limit their effect. Taking responsibility for everything that goes on allows you to change what you don’t like, because you’re in charge.

How do you limit the "Effect"?

Well let’s get back to an earlier topic:
You Attract What You Think About Most Into Your Life

If you come from the "Effect" mentality then you are continuing to attract bad events or happenings because you haven’t moved on from the initial bad happening. I guarantee more bad luck will come your way.

If however you come from the "Cause" mentality, accept what has happened and move on, you can get back to attracting better things into your life for that day.

It’s amazing how such a little difference in a persons habit will make such a big change in a persons happiness. Try becoming a "Cause" person and take responsibility for everything that goes on, both good and bad, then realise the power you have just given yourself to change what you don’t like, as you are the boss of your own destiny!

Why Do Some Make It, But Most Fail?

It is no surprise that so many people within the world struggle to achieve their goals, dreams or the life that they set out to have, when you sit back and look at what we have become.

As a society we are so quick to make decisions. Everything today is fast paced; we want information at our finger tips, we want faster computers, phones and the ability to reach across the world instantly. We also want our goals and dreams to occur quickly, in days and months rather than years and decades. As a society we have become impatient and spoilt, we expect bigger and better and we want it NOW....

This leads us to our problem and the reason why so many people fail and end up living the life they are given rather than the life they want to create.

There is a whole process to goal setting and re-programming your way of thinking that we will touch on another time, but to keep it simple lets follow these rules.
1. Goals are required to reach any level of fulfilment
2. What you think about most often is what you attract into your life
3. What you tell yourself daily is what your mind believes to be true
4. Taking action daily results in moving forward

Most people are able to set goals; they write it down on a piece of paper and put it away for a rainy day never to be seen again. This is the problem and why so many people then don’t achieve what they set out to do.

To change a humans way of thinking and habits takes 30 – 90 days of CONSTANT work.

That constant work involves reading goals over and over again, dreaming and seeing those goals in your life, telling yourself what those goals would mean for you and your family and then finally being ready to take ACTION when an opportunity arises.

The second biggest problem people have is taking ACTION when an opportunity comes their way.

It’s common practice in society and something that is drilled into us at an early age to check everything twice, make sure you know what you’re getting into, research it all first and then procrastinate until it’s too late.

If you have a goal, a dream and you start believing you can live the life you want and deserve, rather than the life you have been given then please act and give yourself a chance.

I’m excited about being able to hear about your success and would love to know if our advice has helped you in some way.
