"We focus on the negatives, losing ourselves in the ‘problem.’ We point to our unhappy circumstances to rationalize our negative feelings. This is the easy way out. It takes, after all, very little effort to feel victimized."---- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

From Higher Awareness: Nothing and no one can make us a victim. We do it to ourselves when we allow external circumstances to hold power over us. Although we have no control over what happens to us, we ALWAYS have a choice in how we respond. We hold our power when we accept complete responsibility for our thoughts, feelings and actions.
