It is easy to be a victim.  When 'someone else' is responsible for your situation, you don't have to take ownership for your part in the predicament.  It feels a lot better to be able to say someone else or something else is responsible.  However, when you do that, you become the victim and your give your power away.  It robs you of the opportunity to learn from the lesson of the valley and come out stronger, wiser and more creative.  You have the freedom to choose your response.  Do I move forward or do I move back.  Move forward and boldly declare your freedom.
