One of the things I've been doing since I arrived in Taiwan is finding a quote or affirmation I like and writing it down. Really reading and absorbing the words and trying to find a way that I can apply it to my own life, working towards true happiness. Today's affirmation was this. I found it interesting and easy to apply to my life.
I release myself from victim roles.
I am free, and always have been.
Experiences that made me feel like a victim
were only experiences that
appeared and disappeared
in the arena of consciousness that I am.
I think everyone has moments of feeling like a victim and it's easy to slip into that role. I've lived in that role many times before but it's important to know that the role of the victim is one of constant suffering and turmoil. Who wants to live a life like that? A wise man I know tells me often that happiness is a choice. So is becoming a victim to the mishaps of life. You can choose to let it defeat you or you can make the choice to learn from that experience and see how you can find something positive from it. At first it may be a little difficult because habits are hard to break but little by little, when you are conscious of your behavior and thought patterns, you can break free from the negative roles you have taken on in your life.
