Playing the part of victim will be...

When you're actually sitting in the thicket of that particular feeling, it's hard to imagine that you'll not feel that way and actually be able to get moving to move forward and handle business.  But yesterday, I was thrown a little curve ball and was launched full into self-pity "God hates me" "it isn't fair" Victim mode.

Unfortunately, this feeling has a chain reaction affect on everything else you feel/do/act upon afterwards and, for me at least, I was pretty much paralyzed into being totally unmotivated, completely helpless, and "accepting" the then-apparent reality that I just must be alive only to suffer.

But thanks to some of the things I picked up over the last year, including being able to objectively look at whatever role my actions have played into the way things develop and also recognizing what it takes as far as action and foot-work goes if I want something to change, I was able to get out of that funk and today I am happy to report that playing the role of victim is GROSSLY unattractive, not productive, and most of the time, inaccurate in that it is a skewed sense of reality.

I was not and am not the "victim of circumstance" in this situation and this is a firm reminder that everything you do, don't do, say, don't say, act on, or don't act on -- all have consequences.  Sometimes those consequences might be immediate in coming to fruition, but sometimes they may not come around until later, making them all the harder to identify as far as being able to look at them objectively and tied to who did what.  I always have a role or part to play in my day, and by looking at what that role has been and can be, it will help to come into acceptance of whatever situation I find myself in and then help me to act in the best way.
