Refuse to be a Victim

Refuse to be a victim. Refuse to complain. Refuse to blame others or any authority. Refuse to complain about the nation or the government, because if you are going to be a high-agency person, you cannot be a complainer. Complaining and blaming show a lack of power; they signal that you have no control over the situation and that you cannot do anything about it.

Consider this: if someone attacks you and tries to bully you, and you can actually beat them in a fight, you don’t complain—you put them in their place. It is only when you perceive that the other person is stronger than you that you begin to complain and blame. That is dangerous because you are making yourself weak. Complaining is an act of victimhood, and victims in this world, sadly, become prey. Predators always hunt the prey.

Refuse to be a victim. Did Life hit you? Smile, Cry or Laugh, that's ok. But refuse to complain. You are your own man, the captain of your ship. If Life hits you, view it as a challenge, it's time for an adventure. Rise to the occasion like a champion that you are. Refuse to let circumstances or anyone else take control over you. Watch your vocabulary. You've got this.
