You are your choices, not your situation
It is often very difficult when in a crisis not to feel like a victim
Whether it is ill health, death, loss of a job or whatever, it is easy to feel hopeless and without a choice.
But the truth is we always have a lot more power in any given situation than is immediately obvious.
First you get to choose whether or not to feel like a victim.
If you make the choice that you have a modicum of control here you will start to see that you have many more choices here.
Although mindsets can make it easy to think one way, if that is a dis-empowering path then we can stop and choose other thoughts.
Also accepting that our past choices have contributed at least in part to our current situation. We may not have had any control over losing our job but we did play a part in whether we have savings so we have time to find a new job or if we have a tonne of credit card debt that is making the whole situation so much worse.
This is not a time for guilt but for learning and growing, for recognizing that certain choices were less than ideal and deciding to make different decisions in the future.
So what choices do you have ahead of you right now?
What choices are the most empowering and effective?
I love this post thank you. You know it sounds so easy to be able to have control over your life and your situations but sometimes it is really difficult to change the way we think so that our circumstances will change.
Adopting new mindsets is hard. It takes daily attention until the new mindset is firmly entrenched. But the power and the freedom that comes with realizing how much in control we really are makes it worth it.
Let me know if you need any help.
