Many people think they are entitled to good treatment. The truth is that they are neither entitled nor not entitled to it. It is their situation and how they deal with them that matters. However, playing the victim only increases the problems at hand. Instead of using the time to cry and feel sorry for yourself, take a deep breath and get out of it. If someone is robbing you, you do not sit around thinking, "This shouldn't be happening to me. It isn't right." Instead, you react. You may defend yourself, call the police, or try to run away. Constructive action is the opposite of victimized brooding. A victim is, defined in a powerless situation, such as children. They do not have the power to overcome an assailant or change their environments. Now, as an adult to sit back and harbor old feelings, you are playing the classic child victim. Things will happen, sometimes as an adult that are beyond your control and understanding. It is not your place to sit and not change them. Suppose you are in a bad relationship, analyze what is bad, and change it. If you cannot change it, crying will not make it better. If you do not like your job, find something in it you do. Remember you are paying your bills. If you did not have that job, you would cry because you cannot afford your living. See every action has a reaction. If you do not like this thing, releasing it will manifest another thing. You must accept change without victimizing yourself. Another example of playing the victim is in blaming others. To look at everyone’s actions or words without looking at oneself is playing the victim. You cannot have a situation without somehow you thinking it. See our fears from the past, present, manifest our tomorrows. What you could have said, or done to someone in the past, might have caused your reality today. The cause and effect of life does not know victims. It only knows the universal law of karma. See one bad move can cause you hundreds, and it is always different then your moves. Therefore, when you are going through something, past thoughts and actions, is what you should look into. You cannot change them because they are done. However, you can change the now. Live in the now, stop worrying and playing the victim. The universe cannot help you, if you do not help yourself first. Understand your issue; change it by first thinking positive. Once you change your thinking, attack the situation with no thought of failure. This is how you overcome the victimized life style.
