Born to be Victimized?!

Do you believe that? There are people who are born in the world and think that their purpose in life is to be victimized. Strange, isn't it? But come on, let's do some reality check here ... I believe at any point of your life, you must have had such thought too. You are just not aware of it.

What is victimization?
Easy ... when you think the whole world but yourself is owing you something somehow. That this world is unfair. Your boss owe you money. Your colleague owe you some respect. Your parents owe you explanation. Your parents owe you attention. Whatever it is ... you think the whole universe is revolving around you and you don't get enough of everything from the universe.

Sound familiar?
We've all been there done that.
But isn't it strange that "The Creator" has sort of given us a blank canvas to paint our own lives and yet we choose to be a victim? Aren't you scratching your head and why there are such stupid idiots still doing such things?

Because, when they are using a binocular-mentality in looking at their lives, they see nothing good. There are scarcity everywhere. Problems every time. Bad people somehow manage to step on their tails. Hence ... they lose perspective on what life is actually.

If you can just step back ... remove that binocular ... just see life as it is. See life with your own naked eyes. See it from all four corners of the world ... notice who are much worse than you ... notice who are much better than you and choose where do you want to go? Do you still want to be a victim? If yes, slap yourself on the face and say ARE YOU NUTS?

There are 2 polarities in this world, no doubt about it. The Rich and the Poor. The Good and Bad. The Beng and Me. :p .... You have choices to be made. Will you go right or left? Or you can even stay put in the center. You are not a victim, but you choose to be. Can you see it now? No?

Let me try again ....

The victimized one:
Why is it every time I do something, it always fails?

The awakened one:
What is it that I need to do to succeed?

The victimized one focuses on that 90% of the problem where as the awakened one focus on that 10% possibility of having a solution. It's just same eyes but with different perspectives, same brain but with different mindset and most importantly same situation but with different attitude.

If a man like Christopher Gardner, whose life was portrayed by Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness, was homeless, penniless and jobless. Managed to sleep in the toilet and buses ... and yet he was still able to see only solutions rather than the problems. Why can't you? Are you homeless or penniless? The chance is if you are able to read this blog you are none of those. Then why are you portraying your life as if it's much more miserable than those homeless people? Or do you need to be homeless and penniless to be able to understand how simple and happy life can be?

Are you a victim?
Or are you merely the creator of the victim role you've been playing?
