Bad things will happen in life. We live in a broken world and you will get hurt, you will be victimized at some point – maybe it has already happened to you. Bad things happen but you don’t have to remain a victim. Humans have the ability to grow and change and overcome.
Henry Cloud, c0-author of the award winning book Boundaries say this about a winner mindset and a victim mindset:
There is a big difference between a victim and a winner. Victims see things the way they are and think they will always be that way, because uncontrollable forces are acting upon them. But winners have a different attitude, especially about failure and trying something new to see if it works better. They know one of the most important things we can ever know: they know that they can learn.
