Lailah Gifty AkitaDon’t be a victim of circumstances. Choose victory by gracious endurance.
About This Quote
There is no such thing as a victim. If you think you are a victim, it is because you have become one by inaction or inaction of thought. This quote is very important to me, because I believe that we all deserve an equal opportunity to experience life. We can’t all be winners (or losers), and we shouldn’t all get the same amount of fame, fortune and fame.
If we do this we will become victims of circumstances and we will be so focused on what we don’t have that we won’t even be able to enjoy what we do have. A lot of people who think they are victims are actually victims of their own lack of action and bad thinking.
