Nobody but you has ruined your life.

Nobody but you has ruined your life.

I know, it's hard to hear. Get over it. Do you want to be a victim all your life or take control?

People may have wronged you, hurt you, and maybe even caused physical damage to you in the past. You still have the option to choose how to respond.

Epictetus was a famous Stoic philosopher who was born into slavery and had his leg broken when he was young by the guy that "owned" him. That left him with a limp all his life. Yet he chose to control his own mind regardless of his outer reality.

We all have something from our past that wasn't optimal. We have things in our present that we wouldn't have chosen. The future holds many things we don't want to face. Will you be the victim? Or will you be the victor?
