No one is coming to save you. This life is 100% your responsibility.

The idea of “owning” everything that happens to us, or “the victim mentality” was quite the paradigm shift when I first heard it. As I understand it, we may have been victims in our lives, and surely this was not our fault, but once we become adults, it’s all on us, gulp. There really is no one coming. Our parents have done their jobs, as best they could, we’ve graduated high school, and now we are left to deal. We’re allowed to be upset and angry about the bag we’re left holding, but anger is not going to solve our issues or make our lives better. I resorted to therapy, life coaching and relationship skills courses for assistance because I wasn’t remotely equipped for stellar relationships coming from my family of origin. Just sayin’ :) Hugs.
