Shallow People believe in luck. Wise and Strong people believe in cause and effect — Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Victim mentality asks in the morning “I wonder what is in store for me today.” instead of “What do I want to cause to happen today?”
Today, determine yourself as a Cause, and not an Effect.
We slip into the mentality of the victim so easily because the logic makes sense to us — the job lays us off, the boy friend cheats, the girl friend leaves, the taxes are raised, the house catches fire — and we respond to these events with the belief that something has happened to us, rather than something has happened. Every event is an opportunity – and one of those opportunities is to be the victim of the event, rather than simply a witness of the event.
When the boy friend cheated, we can internalize this as us being the cause if we wish, but it will be a painful internalization for several reasons, the first and most painful being that we are trying to internalize something which doesn’t belong inside of us.
When the house caught fire, we can say that this happened to us, or to the house. Some people prefer to burn — sounds silly but it is true.
Be aware of what you decide to be. The opportunities available for every event are many — always more than three. Before you decide, make sure you are aware of at least three of those opportunities before you decide which you will grasp.
