It is time to release the thought of past negative experiences as ‘wasted time’.  Each one of those experiences showed and taught you many, many things; what you really want, what you do not want, how you choose to be treated, what your expectations are and how fast you choose to grow.  Becoming ensnared in the past will keep you there.  Being grateful releases the energy so you may continue your Earth plane existence in more peace, love and happiness. ~ Creator

God said:

Every emotion you feel is your choice. Love is your choice. Frustration is also your choice. No one makes you lay yourself low.

You always have options. When you feel defeated, you can feel something else.

When you feel overloaded with difficulties, you can choose to feel another way. When you feel like a victim, this is a choice you made. Take a walk around the block and get a little distance. You can come back having dropped off the self-imposed verdict you made that you have been a victim. Dear Ones, if you feel like a victim, you can also feel like letting go of that idea. You are not bound to being a victim except as you tell yourself.

It is not a worthwhile idea to convince yourself that you have been victimized. Even if you literally have been victimized, let go of that Identity, for you are a Child of God who has choices to make, so make them, these choices that are yours to make.

Choose to be something else besides a victim. Absolutely, do not put your name under such a victim list. No more “Woe is me” thoughts.

Faith and trust seem to be the two most challenging words for you to understand. Faith is trusting what you cannot see, trust is having faith in what can. ~ Creator
