A victim says, "They took my time; they took my money; they took my idea."
A giver says, "I gave my time; I gave my money; I gave my idea."
Real victims do exist and their situation renders them powerless or imprisoned and unable to change their circumstances. The tragedy is that some embrace a victim mindset when they are neither powerless nor imprisoned.
Imagine what the world would look like if more people began to take on the mindset of a giver.
I am a follower of Jesus and that distinction happens to be one of the most profound parts of the biblical narrative. Nowhere does it indicate that Jesus lost his life, but that he gave it, willingly, to free people from the powerlessness and imprisonment associated with sin.
No more victim mentality!
