It's Time to Give It Up

It seems to me that it's time to give it up. It's time to give up the age-old idea that we are helpless victims inhabiting a planet called Earth. If you look around you, you'll see it on people's faces, and you'll hear it in people's voices and words.

"I had no choice."
"There wasn't anything I could do about it."
"That's just the way it is."
"You can't teach old dogs new tricks."
"Why me?"

And so on.

We are not victims. We have choice. And just as we can choose to be upset with life, we can choose to celebrate it. We are co-creators, and we create with energy, guided by our thoughts and our choices.

"I have a choice."
"There is something I can do about it."
"It can be another way."
"I can learn new things."
"Why not create?"

If someone were to ask me what is the most dangerous thought pattern on our planet, it is that of victimhood. If someone were to ask me what is the answer to our challenges on earth it would be "teach people how to create."

It's time to give it up, this thing we call victimhood. Instead, let's step forward today and create something wonderful with our energy, guided by our thoughts and our choices. What greater thing could there be to do?
