A newborn baby or a toddler are perfect demonstrations of prosperity consciousness. If we all kept that innocence and developed from there, it would be an elegant, clearcut journey to manifesting a prosperous joyful life. Unfortunately, from birth, we’re almost immediately assaulted with programming of lack and limitation.
How many times do you think you were told, “stop,” “don’t touch that,” and “no” in your first three or four years? The modern environment attacks you with a multitude of factors such as fear, self-doubt, worthiness issues, and entitlement thinking to contaminate our thought processes from a very early age. Recent developments like the pandemic, isolation, and social media have accelerated the process. As a result, for most of us, our prosperity journey began in the same neighborhood:
Victimhood.
You don’t choose to move in there consciously; you just wake up one day realizing you’ve been paying rent in resentment, blame, and excuses. It’s the emotional ghetto where people worship limitation and confuse suffering with virtue.
I can conduct an all-day seminar on prosperity and have 1,000 people nodding along in sage agreement with everything I’m teaching. The second it wraps up, 913 of them will then line up to explain to me why in their unique case, they’re simply a random, innocent bystander victim.
Scroll through a social media platform today and it seems like a moral competition to prove you are the most wronged gender, race, religion, political party, occupation, or all the above. If you were an alien from another planet and happened to drop by Earth to study the species known as human, you’d probably assume there was a worldwide Victimhood Olympics.
Victimhood is emotional poverty. It’s the belief that life happens to you instead of through you. That you’re a pawn on someone else’s chessboard.
People in this state are easily recognized by the clues they give up. They’re not happy unless they’re miserable. It’s almost as if they delight in being oppressed, used, or taken advantage of. They wear being victimized almost as a badge of honor.
Because they have low self-esteem, they unknowingly use their negative circumstances to justify their worthiness. Eventually they end up manifesting and attracting worse treatment – to justify this perverted vision they have of themselves.
You can’t create prosperity from that vibration because victimhood kills agency. Prosperity requires power — and power only flows through self-responsibility. The good news is that the moment you recognize victimhood as a choice, you’ve already outgrown it.
When you stop asking, why is this happening to me? and start asking, what am I doing to attract or contribute to this? — the locks on your cell door click open.
Because the day you release victimhood, is the day you invite prosperity in.
Peace,

Great explanation of victimhood. As a child I was victimized and in my adult years I’ve had to navigate moving my mindset from being a victim to choosing responsibility to how I move through life as an adult. Victimhood so ingrained due to horrible parenting but reparenting myself is a key to freedom for me.
