The Law of Victimhood
Though laws in various countries may be different, there are certain laws that apply to us all, known as Universal Laws.
Universal and cosmic laws apply to everyone without exception, regardless of “belief” in the law. Like the law of gravity, you don’t have to understand it, agree with it, like it or want it…but each time you drop a ball, it falls to the ground due to the law of gravity. The Law of Victimhood is no different. Though it may be a lesser known “law,” the same rules apply.
The law of victimhood states that through no fault of your own, bad things just happen to you, and no matter how hard you try, you cannot change it. Because of the actions of your parents, spouse, teachers, bosses, partners, friends, lovers and enemies, your life is the way it is. If someone were to point out that you might have played a role in your life being the way it is, your anger and wounded-ness will not allow you to see it, leading you to repeat again and again,“It’s because of them my life is the way it is!”
People engaging in the law of victimhood can spend a lifetime playing the blame game. They tell the same story for years and even decades and believe their unfortunate circumstances are mostly someone else’s fault. They believe they are just unlucky that history keeps repeating itself and ask, “Why Is This Happening To Me Again?!!” As Dr. Michael Ryce, author of the book with this same title writes, “If the same unhappy events happen to you 82 times with 42 different people, who was the common denominator?” Who was the one there EVERY TIME? You were.
Whatever the subconscious mind is feeling, good or bad, is out-pictured in the world. Situations you are experiencing in your life reveals what the mind is picturing. The more one talks about being cheated, the more cheaters appear. The more one talks about aches, pains and illness, more sickness appears. The more one talks of loneliness, friends fall by the wayside. Complaining you’ll never get out of your financial rut keeps you stuck in it. Whatever you believe and talk about is what materializes.
As hard as it is to accept, each one of us are where we are today, due to the sum total of decisions we have made. We got here one thought, one action at a time. Blame is a useless waste of energy, leaving you powerless to change anything. As James Allan, Author of “As a Man Thinketh” writes, “Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought in some direction. It is an indication that the individual is out of harmony with himself, with the law of his being.” Though it isn’t easy admitting that life is the way it is out of our own creation, as soon as we do, we take the keys back that will unlock a new reality.
If you are unhappy with what is occurring in your life, following these steps will set into motion the changes that you desire…but they must be applied DAILY.
Let go of your “who done me wrong” story. Continuously talking about it or thinking about it, keeps the story thriving so cease to tell that story ever again. Choose situations you want to experience instead and begin thinking and talking about them as much as possible.
Take your power back!! Understand that by blaming others for the circumstances in your life leaves you powerless to change it. Powerlessness and blame go hand in hand. Only when you call your power back and begin taking responsibility for what you are thinking, can you choose thoughts that will support you and your desires.
Pay attention to what you are thinking. ‘Right thinking’ sends out harmonious thoughts to everyone and everything, even your perceived enemies, for in doing so you stop being affected and influenced by the negative thoughts of others.
Shift the tide of what you are focusing on. When you start to talk about your blessings more than you talk about your problems, by the law of resonance you bring more blessings into your life.
Let today be the day you are a victim no more. Choose only loving, kind thoughts towards your self and others and you will be amazed at just how quickly your life will change!
Wishing you ‘Right Thinking,’
