Alone-With-My-Thoughts

Have you ever thought the world was against you? If life seems to be continually kicking you while you’re down, is it always someone else’s fault? Do you know people who always have an excuse for misfortunes in their life? I find that to be exhausting and I can only imagine what is going on within themselves.

Sometimes bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. Nevertheless, I question as to why do we try to make excuses for those bad things? Why not try to see those times as learning experiences?

Now I was never a scholar in school. I got mediocre grades and sometimes struggled getting those. I have learned a lot over the years and some of it comes from the struggles in my own life. Some of those struggles I must say are because of the poor choices that I’ve made. I don’t consider myself a bad person, I just could have made better choices in certain areas of life. I’ll save discussing those for my own therapy sessions.

How do you deal with others who always seem to have excuses? I find distance is often the most peaceful way. It is the most comforting and safe place for me at times.

When I have gone through a difficult time, I choose to look at myself as the victor not the victim. I mean I AM still standing. I AM still moving forward to my goal of inner peace. I choose to not let those difficult times hold me captive in a place that I no longer live. I choose to accept the decisions that I made were ones that I made with limited knowledge. With limited knowledge, you really are relying on faith and allowing that faith to guide the trajectory of your life.

In my opinion, there are few certainties in life. Prayers, hard work, perseverance, trust and faith will always bring new adventures and opportunities.

Choose to see yourself as the victor. Because you are. You worked through the challenges of possibly an unhappy and possibly an abusive childhood. You worked through that first love breakup or a divorce. You worked though that degree that you didn’t get or the all time dream job. You worked through one or more addictions. Look at you still standing. Don’t think that those aren’t great feats. Don’t allow your mind or ANYONE to make you feel less. You are a victor. You are a warrior/warrior princess. Speak those positive things into your life and into someone else who is maybe going through a difficult time. Encourage someone who is down, don’t kick them and discard them as you try to rise to the next level in this thing called life. Again, we are all in this race, just on different paths. Be a victor. Blessings.
