Is There a Difference Between a Survivor of Narcissistic Abuse and a Victim? How Do You Decide Which One You Are?

Your mind is a very powerful thing…extremely powerful. If you tell yourself that you are a victim, you will be just that…a victim.

You will walk around feeling like a victim and you let it define you. And eventually, that is all that you can see when you think about who you are.

When you change your perspective, you (in a way) have mind control…you most definitely have control over your own mind and it is so simple once you realize this fact…

When you start to see yourself as a survivor, you become a survivor. You actually have so much more power than you know…

I felt like a victim for a time. I hated feeling this way. One day I woke up and literally started counting my blessings. I started reminding myself of all of the good things in my life rather than this one very unfortunate incident that I lived inside for a time. I decided I didn’t want to walk around feeling like a victim anymore. I had so much to be grateful for. Why on earth would I give a person of such little importance that kind of power over me? Why would I define myself this way when it was over. I survived. I moved on. I made peace with it and it was time to let it go.

So that’s what I did and in the blink of an eye I was no longer a victim…I was the very definition of a survivor not only because I literally survived it…but because I changed the way I looked at things and once you start to do this, amazing things happen.

Letting go of an unimportant, Insignificant blip is just the tip of the iceberg. That’s how little I think of him now…

You can do anything if you change your perspective…you have the power to choose how you define yourself…do not ever let anyone else hold that position.

This is your life…and it can be wonderful if you simply tell yourself it will be. Once you realize you actually held all the power all along, everything starts to change…in a very wonderful way.
