Overcoming victim thinking - Simple but not easy

I have so much I want to share with you and I am so happy to be able to share through this blog.

My main focus most of my life has been about how to feel better and be able to live life freely and fully. I have not "arrived" but I think I am getting there.

My current passion is to help people overcome victim thinking. I think that if most of us could focus on our own strengths instead of our weakness, this world would be a better place. So I want to share what I can with you and see if we can grow together and create a better life and a better world.

I am curious to know, what are some of the challenges you face, your internal challenges. What are some of the things that annoy you? Let's start with those. One of mine is being stuck in traffic and being late for an event. I found myself just whining in the car about how I was going way out of my way to this event and I'm going to miss it. What a waste of my time. And I was sitting there thinking about my attitude and how irritated and angry I was about it ... and yes, I did say a prayer for the people who were in the accident ahead of me, but even realizing that someone got hurt didn't help me fully change my attititude. I was being inconvienced, and I was still so angry that I was late. And I was thinking, what an example I am of how to overcome victim thinking.

So how do you overcome victim thinking? ... The key to it all is to be willing to let it go. It is a simple thing to do but it is not always easy, I know because I work on this stuff every day. I know my life is better because of the work I've done and I know yours can be too. So what are some examples of the things you are experience and maybe we can work through some things together.
