You Aren’t a Victim…

You create your identity.

The story or stories you attach your worth to in your mind become the limits of your life in reality.

The older I get, the more clear this becomes the truth.

Most people are where they are and end up so much less than they could have been because they thought low of themselves in their mind.

I’ve noticed these people almost always have created part of their identity rooted in having the “hardest upbringing"/saddest story inadvertently trapping themselves into a self-fulfilling prophecy of perpetual struggle in actual reality.

They never overcome it because they can’t shift their identity mentally to someone who has overcome from someone who was perpetually struggling.

Translation: Stop talking about/focusing on how hard you had it and start talking about/focusing on the progress you are making toward overcoming...

And stop looking for attention/sympathy through your sad story.

You aren’t a victim…

You just haven't chosen a different identity yet.
