Victimhood affects 99.9% of the population.
Almost everyone is a victim of something at some time.
Only a chosen few, a few that have chosen, have taken the steps to overcome victimhood in our society today.
We live in a society where victimhood is seen as an ongoing social problem that society is hopelessly trying to solve.
We live in a compensation culture that rewards victims and seeks revenge over those who are to blame, in the name of justice.
The current solution to the problem is to turn the villains into victims by prosecuting and persecuting them.
Victimhood is part of the duality of victims and villains.
It is defined as a control drama that is played out between victims and villains, between an intimidator and a poor me in an extrovert and active way, or between an interrogator and an aloof in a passive and introvert way.
To stop being the victim, we also have to stop being the villain.
The villain is always our own belief system.

The Cause of Victimhood

The cause of victimhood is always our personal thinking. It is either a fear or a limiting belief.
Whatever I fear, I become a victim of.
Whatever I need emotionally, I become a victim of.
I am a victim of my programmed sub-conscious beliefs about life.
When my personal beliefs create a reality that I do not want, I am a victim of the reality that my beliefs have created.
My victimhood is created by the belief that I can be a victim of life.
It is created by the belief that life has problems.
It is created by the belief that what occurs is beyond my control.
It is created by the belief that bad luck and misfortune exist.
It is created by my personal judgment that life is good or bad, right or wrong, light or dark, black or white, positive or negative.
The polarity of my energy that creates the existence of duality, polar opposites, and opposing genders, and gives me individual choice, also creates the possibility of my victimhood existing.
A victim is not created by a villain; it is the sub-conscious choice of the individual victim themselves.

Overcoming Victimhood

The same freedom of choice that allows me to choose to be a victim also allows me to overcome victimhood.
To overcome victimhood in our modern society requires us individually to make a conscious choice to do so.
Overcoming victimhood requires me to overcome the polarity of the relative dual reality energy that allows it to exist.
That energy is my belief system that drives my thinking.
Overcoming victimhood allows me to be:
• Problem free
• Fearless
• Emotionally Powerful
• Authorised to choose
• Able to live happily and wellr
It allows me to no longer be a victim of my problems, my fears, my emotions, my choices, or my lack of ability.
The ability to live life happily, well, and free from victimhood, requires my personal connection to my own power and authority. It requires me to own my power and authority.
My dependency on the power or authority of another will render myself a victim of that power or authority.
The ability to connect to my own power and authority requires a fundamental understanding of what drives the universe and the world in which I live.
Overcoming victimhood requires a unique understanding of the inherent beliefs within our society and within our self that are creating the victimhood.
Overcoming victimhood requires an understanding of the ‘Law of Attraction’ and how the fact that “Like energy is drawn unto itself” is creating everyone’s reality in a personal, individual and unique way.
It requires an understanding of the ‘Golden Rule’ that:
• “What I do unto others, I will experience in return”
• “What goes around comes around”
• “What I do unto others, I do unto myself”
What I think creates my reality and what you think creates yours. We only share the same reality when we share the same thoughts, limiting beliefs and fears about our life.
I am a victim of life only as long as I believe myself to be one.
Once I take responsibility for creating my own reality, I am no longer a victim of my reality but the creator of my reality.
“Why on earth would I choose to be the victim of my own creation”?
