Victim or Victor? The Choice is Ours

That's right, nothing comes into your life randomly, or by chance. At some level, either consciously or sub-consciously, you draw it into your experience for some greater soul purpose. That is a hard pill to swallow for most people, because no one wants to believe that they are the cause of their own plight. On the other hand, those same people will be the first ones to claim responsibility for anything good that comes their way. Interesting dichotomy, isn't it? Victim or victor—the choice is always up to us because our thoughts create the very nature of our reality, and no, this is not some New Age hooey. Some of the most brilliant minds in science, philosophy and religion know this to be a basic Law of the Universe. Even Jesus taught...you reap what you sow... Understanding that we have the power to change even the most unbearable circumstances in our lives simply by changing the way we think should send us shouting from the rooftops, don't you think? Don't get me wrong, it's not easy! It takes focus, consistency, discipline, awareness, and above all belief. Perhaps the greatest travesty is that we don't believe. The problem is we get stuck in and addicted to predictable patterns of behavior—the, who we are, that defines us. Each and every one of us holds within us the key to unlimited potential and the power to make our wildest dreams a reality.

The Burn

Wasted years, I've lost myself 

And now can't find my way. 

Burning in a silent hell 

Each and every day. 

A woman stares through lifeless eyes, 

Surely, that's not me. 

My reflection mocks a life 

And memories of what used to be. 

How can I move forward 

When I'm stuck in yesterday? 

Courted by nostalgia 

It's hard to look away. 

I am haunted by a time and place 

To which I can't return. 

So here I am, my daily hell 

And silently I burn.
