Chapters

There's nothing worse than people playing victim. People who are constantly at the whims of what everyone else is doing and then just blames and complains about everything that happens. You're not a victim. And if you see yourself as a victim, you need to get yourself out of that hole because nobody cares. And if you do have people that care that are enabling you to be lazy or keeping you down and out, it's probably because, you know, misery loves company. And I think you have to be really careful who you're leaning on and who you have supporting and guiding you, especially if you're going through a tough time. And, uh, if you see yourself as a victim, it's a problem. It's a label. It's, um, something that you have to get really clear on why it is that you feel the way you feel, the, the cause, the root cause, and then work on that. And you've got to change your mindset. I think victimhood stems from, uh, just, uh, misguided mindset, and you may not have 100% clarity that you're in that mode. This is again why we need truth tellers and builders in our lives that can call us out and help us see things that we can't see.
