Thanks for post Hikerjust sent this to someone who is currently having
difficulty dealing with present life challenges, and
thought you may like this positive spin on
difficulty:
book title:
Better than Money Can Buy
author - Joseph Kilpatrick and Sanford Danziger, MD
these two authors are founders of the Human Service
Alliance in NC which was founded to provide free
in-residence hospice and free medical care for
terminally ill patients without financial
resources...and as a result of what the volunteer
nurses and docs learned from the patients, they
developed a program to teach the public at large that
we each have the power to choose to live and act as a
"totally responsible person" or as a victim person.
page 79 excerpt -
"They developed the following statement to serve as a
reminder of what it would take to maintain awareness
of victim mentality:
I completely and wholly accept that everything that
has ever happened to me, that is presently happening
to me, and that will happen to me in the future,
provides me with opportunities for learning and
growth, and that no one else can be rightly blamed for
any negativity, hurts, or abuses which my emotional
nature experiences. I shall seek no exceptions to
this belief, even when the apparent cause is not of my
making."
I like the first part of the sentence but the part about not rightly blaming others for negativity sounds more like denial of feelings. Not a healthy thing imho...
