5. Take Responsibility for Your Life

Earlier I said that you need to recognize that your circumstances don’t define you. They are outside of you and need not negatively impact your values and standards. At the same time, you must take responsibility for your life and the choices you make. Psychiatrist Frederic Flach, in his book Resilience, and psychologist Julius Segal, in Winning Life’s Toughest Battles, indicate that people who overcome bad experiences avoid the label of “victim” and take responsibility for moving forward. They don’t say, “What happened to me is the worst thing in the world, and I’ll never be free of it.” They say, “What happened to me was pretty bad, but other people are worse off, and I won’t give up.” They do not wallow in self-pity or ask, “Why me?” And that’s a good thing, because it’s one short step from “why me” to “woe is me.”
