Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I am responsible for my own choices.

A stance that keeps us stuck in the past is playing the victim. The traits that we embrace when we choose to play victim are not only rigid, they are disempowering.

After all, a victim is one who has handed over or relinquished the power over their lives to someone else. A victim remains stuck in past events and current powerlessness. Whether it is done consciously or not, choosing to be a victim is choosing to be weak and to relinquish any control over our lives.

The path to flexibility and freedom lies in self-empowerment, and one cannot be a victim and empowered at the same time. Victims are powerless, or at least they think they are. But our power resides in our deciding to no longer be a victim of others, or of circumstances, or even of our own thoughts and beliefs. Choosing to claim our power and acknowledge that we are responsible for our own choices and our life is the way out of victimhood and into being our true empowered self. 

Today's Focus was excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article:
