Inner Journey

Refuse to be a victim

"We focus on the negatives, losing ourselves in the ‘problem.�?We point to our unhappy circumstances to rationalize our negative feelings. This is the easy way out. It takes, after all, very little effort to feel victimized." -- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Nothing and no one can make us a victim. We do it to ourselves when we allow external circumstances to hold power over us.

Although we have no control over what happens to us, we ALWAYS have a choice in how we respond. We hold our power when we accept complete responsibility for our thoughts, feelings and actions.

"A man may fall many times but he won't be a failure until he says someone pushed him." -- Elmer G. Letterman

"The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed." -- Steven Biko

Know Yourself - The degree that you know yourself defines the degree to which you grow yourself. Know yourself in depth. Answer in detail ‘Who am I?�?Your starting place for spiritual and personal growth.

Become clear through self discovery.
