”I have learned that, if we set our mind to it, we have an incredible ability to find misery in any situation. Shoulders bent, head down, we shuffle through life taking our blows.
Be done with that. Take off the gray cloak of despair, negativity, and victimization. We are not victims. We may have been victimized. We may have allowed ourselves to be victimized. We may have sought out, created, or re-created situations that victimized us. But we are not victims.
We are free to stand in the glow of self responsibility.
Set a boundary! Deal with the anger! Tell someone no, or stop that! Walk away from a relationship!
Give yourself what you need.
Stand up straight, head up, and claim your power. Claim responsibility for yourself! And learn to enjoy what’s good.”
-Melody Beattie
