Today I take total responsibility for my life. With the responsibility I also take control. I accept that I have long subscribed to a victim mentality. I have blamed other people and other factors for my issues. And today, actually, yesterday, I stopped.
The next step is to forgive myself for the years of this. Right now I'm rehashing past indulgences to that mentality. Times when I was dishonest, so very dishonest, all in order to manipulate people. Times when I was selfish and discompassionate. Times when I was not the man I want to be, or saw myself as.
I can accept that there were times when I really was a victim of a negative environment. But I haven't been there for a long time. And yet I have stayed within this pattern. It was my form of protection. I don't need it any more. It's time to thank it and to let it go.
This is the most powerful thing I have ever done. As with all habits, it's going to take some time to kick. But today, I start.
