We live in a society that loves to make excuses and one of our favorite phrases is. It is not my fault.
I am a negative person because I was raised in an unhealthy family environment, one man told me.
My husband walked out on me. I have been rejected. That is why I am so angry.
No, the truth is, if we are bitter bad resentful, it is because we are allowing ourselves to remain that way. We have all had negative things happen to us. If you look hard enough, you can easily find reasons to have a chip on your shoulder. Anyone can make excuse and blame the past for his or her bad attitudes, poor choices or hot temper.
You may have valid reasons for feeling the way you do. You may have gone through things that nobody deserves to experience in life. Perhaps you were physically, verbally, sexually or emotionally abused. Maybe you have struggled to deal with a chronic illness or some other irreparable physical problem. Perhaps somebody took advantage of you in nosiness and you lost your shirt as well as your self-esteem. I do not mean to minimize those sad experiences, but if you want to live in victory, you cannot use past emotional wounds as an excuse of making poor choices today. You dare not use your past as an excuse for making poor choices today. You are not use your past as an excuse for your current bad attitude or as a rationalization for your unwillingness to force somebody.
It is time to allow emotional wounds to heal, to let go of your excuses and stop feeling sorry of yourself. It is time to get rid of your victim mentality.
Nobody, not even God, even promised that life would be fair. Quit comparing your life to somebody else’s and quit dwelling on what could have been, should have been or might have been.
