I believe it fair to say that most people desire to have prosperity and success. If this is true, why do so few people achieve it and continue to live well below their true potential? It occurs because they refuse to do what is required to change the results they are manifesting in their lives.
If you want to go from living a mediocre existence to living a thriving and prosperous life, there are many things you have to do. Big things like releasing the limiting beliefs and negative programming in your subconscious mind. Little things like making a decision to change, setting side time for self-development, doing affirmations, visualizing, and following through with inspired action.
However, let me tell you what I believe is the single most important thing you must do to change -
Release your attachment to your victim story!
If you are not currently living a prosperous life, you probably have a victim (”poor me“) story that keeps you trapped in your reality. A victim story is any excuse you might use to explain why you don’t already have everything you desire from life whether it is to be financial free, enjoying good health, experiencing a blissful relationship with your primary partner, experiencing joy and peace in your life, or a strong connection with the Source (God).
Our victim stories usually are based on circumstances and events we experience in the past, and we continue to use them to limit what we experience in our life now. For example:
Do you ever reminisce about any painful childhood experiences that you endured such as love or affection being withheld from you, being called negative names, being physically abused, or being abandoned, etc. If you are talking about these experiences with anyone other than a professional therapist / Life Coach or explaining how you used them to change your life, then you are playing the victim card.
When you start a new romantic relationship, do you tell war stories about your former lovers? If so, you’re trying to elicit sympathy; thus you are being a victim.
When someone asks how you are doing, do you start listing your body afflictions such as a headache, back pain, or other aches and pains? This is total victim-hood.
Do you believe that your financial results (i.e. the house you live in, you annual income, the balance in your bank account, etc.) are due to state of the economy, government programs, bad partners, your job, or any other outside factors? If so, you are seeking to be victimized because you are giving your power to external forces.
Do you still talk about money you lost in a business deal or investments in the past? What about how the value your house has declined over the few past years? Of course the only reason you are doing this is because you feel victimized.
All of these are examples of victim stories, and they can keep you trap in a lifestyle where you are just surviving instead of being prosperous and thriving.
If you don’t use any of the victim stories I discussed, and you are still not having all the prosperity and success you desire, take a moment and allow yourself to review all your reasons why you don’t have it. If you do this objectively, you’ll be amazed at how many stories you have once you begin paying attention.
Don’t criticize yourself or beat yourself up for having a story about it because we all have victim stories no matter how well we are doing in life. What’s important here, is that you finally come to see that your “poor me” story is nothing more than an incredible illusion maintained by your ego that keeps your trapped in your box you created for your life (your reality that limits what you experience in life). But please understand this, your ego is a survival mechanism, and it tries its best to keep you from changing. However, you have the power to take back control and live the life you truly desire.
The choice is yours to make.
As a co-creator of your reality, you have the power to make a new choice that would create a brand new reality in which your problem of lack no longer existed. The Law of Attraction is working 24/7 and is ready, willing and waiting to bring into your life everything belonging in the reality of your new choice.
So, what’s stopping you from committing to a new reality where lack does not exist and you embrace abundance and prosperity? I think you already know the answer; you are too attached to your victim’s role, and letting go of it can be difficult for most people.
Why are you attached?
You are attached because that victim is who you are for now. It is your identity and your role. In order to choose out of your victim’s role and into a powerful new YOU, your ego would have to relinquish control of your life. However, your ego will resist losing control because it thinks it is protecting you from danger.
But you are not your ego!
However, there is a solution to escaping this trap of your victim’s role, and it begins with the realization that you are not your ego. You are an individualization of God. Can you allow yourself to accept this principle? Once you’ve allowed yourself to be objective about the problem, you can begin the journey to take back control of from your ego and put your True Self back in charge of your life.
When your True Self is in charge of your life, prosperity and success will surely follow.
Namaste,
RC
