“You can be a victim or you can create history but you can't do both.” - Jared Yellin
What if every major decision in life was your last?
Like it could not be undone…
It was final...
Whatever you decided was it for the remainder of your time on earth…
For example…
Your career choices…
Your health choices…
Your love choices…
Your spirituality choices…
Your parenting choices…
Your self-esteem choices…
Whether you were a victim or a victor choice...
I have always believed that nearly everyone lives life as if they can redo everything…
They can redo the fact that they are a mediocre parent…
They can redo the fact that they took the easy path in their career…
They can redo the fact that they have filled their bodies with junk…
And guess what…
Most decisions in life can NEVER be undone…
Of course you can course correct, but what’s been done has been done and there will always be some form of a residual that resides.
Which is why I ask this question….
What if you took the initial decision more seriously?
Because here’s what I’ve seen…
I have seen people make decisions that become their norm…
Lack of health…
Absent parenting…
Unemotional partner…
Deadend career…
And the list goes on and on and it all started because this person believed that they could undo a decision that should have been done right from the start...
And like I said, you can course correct your health, you can repair your relationship to some degree, you can make right by your kiddos, but there’s one decision that I believe will linger unless you make the choice from the start...
It’s time to make a decision…
Once and for all…
VICTIM or VICTOR?
Which is it for you?
I get it…
Being a victim is what we call the EASY to HARD path for your life.
It’s really challenging to confront victimhood because it’s riddled with pain, discomfort, regret, frustration, fear, and a host of additional negative emotions.
But if you don’t confront it - you will be owned by it.
EASY to HARD means that it’s easy to NOT deal with the RIGHT NOW but it becomes exponentially more difficult to deal with the WHAT WILL NOT BE in the future as you fall short of what you ultimately want to achieve since you did not address the RIGHT NOW...NOW!
On the other extreme is the HARD to EASY path for your life.
Dealing with the HARD today will FREE you for the future.
Yes, this means confronting the pain!
Yes, this means accepting what took place in the past happened FOR YOU and not TO YOU!
Yes, this means redefining the story that is holding you back!
Yes, this means facing your fear and overwhelm head on and boldly declaring...
YOU WILL NOT OWN ME ANYMORE!
The VICTIM versus VICTOR dynamic is one I am rather vocal about because either path is a decision backed by action…
Please read this again…
VICTIM versus VICTOR is a DECISION…
That YOU MAKE…
That YOU CONTROL…
That YOU CAN CHANGE!
Most people who fall into victimhood feel like there is a power outside of themselves that is preventing them from becoming the VICTOR.
That power is your mind playing games with you and holding you back from why you are even here in the first place.
I am not sharing this to rah rah rah you up…
I am not sharing this so that you like my post and comment that you are inspired…
And I am most certainly not sharing this for you to gloss over it and say “I don’t have time to make a change”…
But here’s why I am sharing it…
1 - Someone is watching you BE a victim and it’s making VICTIMHOOD seem normal.
MOST LIKELY YOUR KIDS!
2 - You are destined to do something bigger than your story is currently permitting.
PEOPLE DIE WITH THEIR POTENTIAL INSIDE BECAUSE OF THE DECISION TO BE A VICTIM.
3 - We are in the most trying time in our history right now and there is ZERO space to be a VICTIM.
EVERYONE IS MEANT TO BE A SOLUTION MAKER NOT A VICTIM.
4 - The time is here and the time is now - STEP INTO YOUR VICTOR!
YOU WILL REALIZE THAT THE PATH OF VICTOR IS FAR EASIER AND MORE FUN
And the fifth and final reason is the following…
5 - You can be a victim or you can create history, but you can't do both.
READ THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN^^^
We NEED history-makers…
We NEED world changers…
We NEED YOU to rise up, step in, and become the hero that we know you are and know you must become…
Ready…
Set…
FREAKIN GO!
Live with Intention,
