Stuck is NOT My Story ,
I Overcame ( Playing the Victim )
As I ’ m thankful for the book and the many opportunities that it has allotted it has helped me to think of the many thoughts I have had since then .
Playing the victim has many turns and cliff hangers in your life as well as others . The ripple effect that this subject has reaches many people in your circle and their circle as well . Everyone has played the victim at some point in their lives .
We learn from our experiences and hindsight is awesome when we are at the point of acknowledgment . We must acknowledge what we have done and take responsibility for our actions whether bad or good . I think hindsight is a blessing , as it allows us to see “ us ” not always in a bad light but in truth .
Playing the victim for me was a crutch , in my brokenness it was used quite often ; broken bones at some point heal . Note that every break is not a clean break , it has complications . Complications can be letting go of relationships , or friendships that you have had for many years that need to be severed . It may be a longer healing process but eventually it will heal .
Healing is a process and a lifestyle that we must work on daily for ourselves so that we can be an asset to our legacy . As I look back and see how I evolved into several different aspects of myself it truly is amazing . I don ’ t recognize who I was but am happy to be in the becoming phase of my life now . When I say I don ’ t recognize it , it simply means , for me that I don ’ t connect with that phase of my life anymore , it is a strong disconnect for me . I don ’ t hold space for that time in my life and it feels like it was a lifetime ago .
I ’ m learning to let go of a noun ( people , places , or things ) that no longer serve me , as hard as that can be . I am in the process of becoming who I want to be and who I am meant to be ……. My authentic SELF .
