Are you a victim? It is not a good place to be, being a victim of an injustice or a crime is a terrible thing, it reminds us of the worst of humanity and makes us stop trying. It is for this reason that you have to stop being a victim other wise you let the victimizers beat you. And they are schmucks, right? Why would you let them win? If you truly are a victim in perfect victim style and victimization scenarios then you have already played that game, now that you have won victim status you can now turn the tables and really beat those who screwed you over. How so you ask?

Well, it is simple really, as they say; “Success is the best revenge!” One way to defeat this internal victim attitude of yours and beat your opponent at the same time; is to take a three by five index card and on it write all the things that the bad guys or victimizers did to you. Then after each item write why that doesn’t matter. Then take another card and write all the faults of your perpetrators and all the good things about you. Then fold these up and put them into your purse or wallet for safekeeping.

Next take a hard look at your situation, take a legal note pad and put a giant “T” on it and write on top “Winning” and on this piece of paper write on the right hand column all the things that you wish you had or could be. Below the line at the top on the right hand side right “Things I will be” below the left line; “Where I am now.” You are probably asking yourself what will you be doing with the three by five index cards. The answer is nothing, soon you will forget they are there at all and that my friend is the day that; “You Win!”

Now back to the “T” on the legal pad, as you can see everything you have written down is achievable, so you need a net-centric battleplan to win this war and be the very best “You” can be, you see? Forget the rest of the victim thing, yes I know that is easy for me to say, as I am not the “victim” you are right? Well, adversity builds character and I have enough to sell you, but you already have that, as you are a full-fledged victim. So after this is all over you will have more personal strength of character as any of your friends, me included. Now go out and beat this thing. Think on this.
