RE: The Harsh Truth: No One is Going to Fix You!

in #psychology7 years ago

Another terrific blog Keciah.

I have often thought that there are - broadly speaking - two types of people: those that make things happen, and those that sit back and let things happen. I think that we all spend time in both camps, depending on where are at in life, but some of us spend too much time in the second one.

If you want to change your life, then that change must come from within.

Sort:  

Unfortunately, I know too many people that have set up permanent camp in that second area. Some like to play the victim, I think, and others just don't believe in themselves enough. But yes, if you want your life to change you have to do something about it!

Exactly that. The problem with playing the victim is that it is habit forming. We are all at the mercy of life's outrageous fortune, so there are times when I think it's okay to feel a little sorry for ourselves. The trick though is to learn from these experiences, and not to let them define you.
