Five Essentials to Escape the Victim Mindset

All of us are victims of someone. The problem with a victim mindset is that it deepens the pain while covering it with case hardening that captures your thoughts in a presuppositional cycle. Your presupposition is the lens through how you view life, and if your lens is that of a victim, you will interpret the actions of others as always against you. You will perpetuate the oppressiveness rather than live out a more than conquerer mindset.

Five Essentials

If you want to change and you plan to start today, here are five things I want you to do.

1 – Be Honest – Don't play the victim card. Tell the absolute truth about yourself. Don't add any if, and, or but to the drama in your life. Make it all about you, not others. Tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth about you.

2 – Tell a Friend – Let someone know how you need to change and why you need to change. Hold them accountable for holding you accountable. Don't let them off the hook. Make them speak into your life.

3 – Guard Your Heart – Watch yourself from yielding to the temptation to fall back into old patterns. You want specific things to happen in your life and relationships. That makes you normal. Personal change does not mean you'll get the life you want.

4 – Express Gratitude – Thank God daily because He gave you the desire and power to change. For God to care so much about you to motivate you to change is a profound reason for daily gratitude.

5 – Export the Gospel – Changing is not just for you. God regenerates and begins the process of sanctifying us to spread His fame to the lives of others. As you are changing, be sure to ask the Lord to bring people across your path so you can share the good news with them. Go and make disciples.
