Goodbye Victim, Hello Victory

In life you have to know how to choose your battles. You must always know when it’s time to let go of certain things, situations, or people. Everybody has gone through something in life at some point that wasn’t favorable and we must learn how to move pass the past and live joyfully for now as well as our future. Past traumas or disappointments may try to visit your thoughts every now and then but you have to know when to tell those pestering thoughts that visitation is over. Your past hurts/disappointments may have you operating from a victim mindset but you must know how to overcome that mentality to move on to a victory mindset. The mere fact that you’re still here after all you’ve been through, should be clear evidence that you were made to be victorious. It’s easy to point fingers at other parties who you believe are responsible for your past hurts but to be honest, that’ll only keep you in a victim mindset. You must learn to forgive for your own sanity and freedom. You must learn to take responsibility for your own life and move on. The people that once hurt you may never apologize so be willing to make the mature decision to forgive them anyway. Also, be willing to look at yourself to see what you need to change to be a better you. You must realize that the life you have, only you can live. You can’t allow what happened in your past to keep you in bondage forever. Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. So do yourself a favor and choose to let go of past hurts and disappointments. It’s time to be free. There‘s so much more to life then what you‘ve already been through. Look in the mirror and remind yourself of the things God says about you. Never forget, Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Keep telling yourself, “My future looks bright,” in Jesus Name. So regardless of what you’ve encountered or will encounter, keep your eyes on God and you’ll always end in victory. Stay encouraged Victor and keep God 1st.
