We are Responsible for our life, our behavior, our reactions and our attitude.
Realize excuses are failures to take responsibility.
My father was an abusive, violent narcissist.
In spite of my father, I am responsible for how I live my life, treat other people and treat myself.
If you want to heal this bridge needs to be crossed.
We need not forgive but we must take total responsibility for our life.
Next, Wellbeing will be harder for me to achieve, it is the challenge I was born into.
My responsibility let me accept the challenge of changing it.
The buck stops with us, we are the captain of the ship, the quarterback of the offense, the one who is responsible for our actions.
Hard to avoid giving all out effort, if you take responsibility.
If you do not take responsibility, victim will be the label you earn.
Conclusion: Do not compare your challenges with another, think of your challenges as a heavy sled, we are tasked with pushing a certain distance everyday.
Focus intently on moving the sled, distractions will find it harder to break through.
Responsibility brings the gift of purpose.
My father wins if I fail.
That’s all the incentive I have ever needed in the dark times of doubt and helplessness.
What is your incentive.

Great advice. It’s easy to have a victim mentality, but it’s not helpful…

Victims do not heal
