Don’t blame others for the road you’re on, that’s your won Asphalt.
Do you ever find yourself playing the blame game? Looking at a situation and looking for who’s fault it could be, completely exonerating yourself or your own actions? Lately I’ve noticed we have almost become a society of the “who is a bigger victim” contest. But why? We’ve all been victims either of circumstances, a bad childhood, a traumatic event. Sometimes racism, sexism or some other ‘ism. So if we all have had good times and bad, why do some people raise their hands and say, “I’m a victim” while other people who have had it just as bad or sometimes worse say, “I’m a hero.”
The victim mentality; it's like carrying around a backpack full of excuses and blaming the universe for everything. It's a bit like wearing tinted glasses that only see the world in shades of "poor me." Sometimes folks get stuck in that mindset because it feels safer to blame external factors rather than to take responsibility for their own actions or circumstances. Plus, it's kinda cozy in that victim bubble, you know? But breaking out of it takes some serious mental gymnastics and a whole lot of self-awareness.
Breaking free from the victim mentality is like doing a daring escape act from your own mind but here are some steps:
Flip the script. Instead of focusing on what you can't control, shift your gaze to what you can.
Take charge of your choices and actions.
Ditch the blame game. It's like playing hot potato with your problems—no one wins.
Own up to your part in things, learn from your experiences, and grow like a boss.
Be disciplined in your thoughts, don't let those bad ones creep in.
Be grateful, look at the amazing time we get to live in. (With electricity and shit)
Surround yourself with cheerleaders, not naysayers. Positive vibes only.
Remember, you're the director of your life's movie. Rewrite the script, recast the characters, only you can do this
Start taking responsibility for your life, remember, you are here because of YOU. You are not a child anymore, you can’t blame anyone else. You have control over your life and in this country you have the freedom to be whatever you want to be so if you are somewhere you don’t want to be, guess what? IT’S YOUR FAULT. Own it!!
Do you know that 80% of things that happen in our life are outside of our control? Circumstance, we all have circumstances. We are all dealing with things that happen to us, but it’s not the things that happen to us that matter. It’s how we react to the things that happen to us. Very difficult circumstances we face give us the ability to grow, to strive, to become better people.
John F Kennedy once said, "Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men."
So instead of looking for a scapegoat for your circumstances, take responsibility for what you can control and your reaction to them.
Taking responsibility is like ripping off a tight pair of shoes after a long day—it's a breath of fresh air for your soul! When you own up to your actions and choices, you're basically saying, "Hey world, I've got this!" It's like grabbing the steering wheel of your life and shouting, "I'm in control, baby!" Plus, it's super empowering. You become the hero of your own story instead of playing the damsel in distress. And let's not forget the sweet, sweet freedom that comes with it. No more finger-pointing or playing the blame game. You're the captain of your ship, charting your own course through the choppy waters of life. So buckle up and enjoy the ride!
