 I generally like this mental stance. What has been hard for me is if you are an actual victim. Sure there is a lesson and maybe it is just to feel the powerlessness and realize you can still wake up everyday. Idk. But when something is forcefully taken from you and it rocks the foundation of your entire life, in that moment, it seems one has no choice but to feel victimized. Maybe that is the difference: I have been victimized vs I am a victim. Anyways, I just had an a-ha moment. Thank you, Brisket.
