Victory Over Victim: Giving Up the “I Give Up” Mindset

“I give up” is an insid­i­ous mind set that robs us of life on every front. Instead of claim­ing vic­tory for our lives, this mind set estab­lishes us as losers who set­tle for scarcity, poor health and unhappy cir­cum­stances. I’ve worked with clients who started giv­ing up on life as chil­dren, inch by inch, so that by the time they were young adults they barely func­tioned at all!

Of course, there is an appro­pri­ate time for ‘giv­ing up.’ There are lots of things that, after much delib­er­a­tion and clear­ing, we need to give up such things as, atti­tudes, beliefs, jobs, addic­tions, rela­tion­ships: things that are not fur­ther­ing us need to be surrendered.

But these sorts of let-go’s are not the kind of ‘giv­ing up’ I am talk­ing about here. I’m talk­ing about the kind of giv­ing up that is never healthy:

The things we must never give up on are: Our­selves, Our lives, love, and Source.

Instead of giv­ing up we rein­force our will to live every­day. And we found our lives on gratitude!

Focus your atten­tion on Source and pro­claim Vic­tory over Vic­tim by pro­claim­ing such affir­ma­tions as these:

No mat­ter how many mis­takes I make I keep on going.

I never give up on me.

I rise above my cir­cum­stances by under­stand­ing that my life chal­lenges are prepar­ing me for bet­ter things. I am con­fi­dent that my life is pur­pose­ful and that I am guided.

I never give up on my life.

I grow through what­ever dif­fi­cul­ties I face, espe­cially through my chal­lenges with loved ones; I me into a more con­scious and for­giv­ing per­son. I seek under­stand­ing rather than resort to blaming.

I never give up on love.

No mat­ter what dis­ease I may be deal­ing with, I know that heal­ing is possible.

I will never be too old to feel my one­ness with the One True Source/Reality.

I never give up on Source.

Wish­ing you a life­time of never giv­ing up!
Bless­ings, Lynne
