During our lifetimes, we all have things happen to us that evoke a sense of victimhood:

• Someone takes advantage of your good nature and takes something of value from you.
• Or maybe your house gets ransacked by a thief.
• Or maybe you walk down the street one evening and you get mugged.
• Or maybe someone you love gets hurt or killed by a drunk driver.

It can be anything, really, ranging from a relatively minor incident to a major catastrophe. And no doubt, some of these experiences can actually victimize us—at least temporarily, and usually only as far as external appearances go. But the truth is, we are only victims as long as we choose to be.

Remember, friend, the moment you put the blame for something onto some external source, you give your power away and assume the role of a victim. Don’t fall into this trap, because it always leads to misery and turmoil. Instead, stay connected to the truth of who you really are—a divine, magnificent, unlimited spiritual being of light and love—and reclaim your power and your sovereignty by taking responsibility for every aspect of your life. In the long run, you’ll be glad you did.
