There are really only two dimensions to the concept of attitude --
you either behave as though you are a victim of circumstance,
or you take full responsibility for your situation.

When we find ourselves in challenging situations or in situations where the outcome is not or was not what was anticipated or expected we tend to assign blame.  When you assign blame you make yourself a victim. You are saying that someone or some outside force caused you to make a mistake or to fail.
 
Starting out as a child learning to walk, we all fell down. Over and over again, we fell down…. you can say that not walking was failing but it was a lesson in not giving up in order to succeed.  As a baby we were not aware of the dynamics around why we kept getting up when we fell …we only knew that we wanted to walk. Child Innocence prevented us from knowing that blaming some outside force was an option.
 
When you take responsibility when things go wrong when you know that you did not give it your best, it will inspire you to do better the next time. To find a way to get it right..to succeed…to be a winner.

Blaming others for what could have been a success, or blaming others for your being in a situation that is uncomfortable.. takes away your hope. It stops you from trying because your mind in now programmed to think that someone else controls your destiny and they are never going to let you succeed. This puts the chains of slavery on your mind and off of your ankles.

Choose not to be a victim of satan….but a determined child of the Father  who knows that success sometimes requires not succeeding until you learn all you need to know.
