we all know that person - that poor person who has everything done wrong to them, the one that is always the victim, the one who never does anything wrong and yet all these bad things keep happening to them. We have all put on martyr hats before - when life isn't going right, when the world is falling down all around you sometimes it feels like it is just you that is suffering - always suffering.
It kind of goes hand in hand with the past - if you can't leave your past behind you and move on and stop playing the victim game you will never be happy and will never be able to move forward with your life.
I know I have had times where I feel it is about me and what I am going through and why am I the one going through the wringer - when in reality - I am not going through anything that I can not get through. Think about those in poverty who do not know where their next meal is coming from, or the child that is cold in the morning because he has no coat or heat -
When you find yourself in the "martyr" mood - just look around at the world, other people have it worse off than you do - so be thankful and blessed that you are where you are - that you have a house, food, clothing, friends and family - the past is the past leave it behind, can't change it, but do not allow yourself to be a victim of it either - a martyr can be a selfish person who thinks it is always about them, that if someone says or writes or does something it is about them - when someone is sick in their family it is about them and their feelings, not the sick person.
We all have been that person one time or another, we all have dealt with people who are constantly that person - the best thing is to be positive and always look at the bright side of life - things could always be worse!
Miss and love you dad,
Much love to all
