Choosing Between Victim or Survivor

Choosing Between Victim or Survivor

Every day you have a chance to decide what you want to do with your life. You wake up and have to decide how you want to move through your world.
You can easily choose to be a victim, choose to follow the negative emotions you have always known and stay stagnant. You can choose to make small changes that will eventually lead you to a life that will leave you into a life of the unknown.

You should always consider the consequences of your decisions one way or the other.

If the choice you make causes you pain, and you can deal with the discomfort for however long because it is going to help another person. Even if the other person is probably lying to you about why they want something from you.. You can probably go ahead with it.
If giving them whatever it is will cost you more than you can afford to lose, then do not give them a thing.

You have to be willing, not only to work your ass off for what you deserve, but also to take care of the people around you when they are not doing as well as you are.

Sure there are going to be a lot of people in this world who are only out there for themselves. Maybe they are only out there for their kids? Maybe they are just so generous or protective, they think the wrong thing about an amazing person who has been through far more than anyone realizes.

No matter what happened to whoever it was you come across in your life.

You have to decide how that person gets to impact your life in the now.

Do you want to let the person be a positive impact, or a negative one?

I may be harsh when I cut people out of my life so directly.
I am always kind, helpful, loyal, and trusting to begin with.

The first time you betray me though?

Unless you have a valid reason, one you can back up with behavior that is malicious on my part.
I will not give you a second chance unless and until you earn it in a way that is equivalent to the pain you caused me.

This is why I stop talking to people so quickly when they hurt me.
It saves me from pain I do not want to live with.

I choose to live a life of Love.

If you can not be in a life of love with me,
you do not get to be a part of my life either.
