No more the victim



via my We heart It

 Lately I have been finding out more and more that I usually tend to play the victim. I find the worst in people instead of dwelling on the good, and I would go through my days feeling like somehow people were so terrible, and that I was getting the smaller portion of the pie.
I can't tell you how far from the truth that really is....  this movie (below) changed my perspective on life: completely, and radically.
The worst thing about playing the victim is that, (in my opinion; I might have this wrong) you cannot see the blessings you have been given anymore; it's as if your eyes get blinded, and the sunsets, chirping of the birds, stunning blue skies, and just small, day to day beauties, don't affect you as deeply anymore.
I don't know about you, but I don't want to miss the beauty that God has placed in this earth. I want to feel every sunset... feel the beauty of every flower... cherish the feel of the wind blowing against my face... I don't want to miss it, and I don't need to.
Because I am not the victim. I am blessed. Overwhelmingly... abundantly... full to the brim... blessed.

Hannah: "Right now I just feel stuck; like there's no way out. I'm stuck in this place that I hate."

Jason: "Wow. Hannah, I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say, um... I imagine things are pretty terrible right now, but... they will get better."

Hannah: "That's really optimistic."

Jason: "Things are going to work out, okay? I promise. You'll know what to do."

Hannah: "What makes you so sure?"

Jason: "I know you."
