Are you a victim? Or a victor?
There's a story of a lion that got a thorn in his paw. He cried and roared about the thorn. "Ahhhh, poor me, this thorn in my paw is so painful!!!!" He got a lot of attention from his cries.
Until one day one month later, a small mouse came to the lion. The mouse was risking it's life by confronting the lion about his cries. The mouse asks the lion, "What is all this crying about?"
The lion responds, "Well, don't you see? I have a thorn in my paw! Ouchhhh! I am in so much pain, poor me!"
The mouse replies back to the lion, "Why don't you just take the thorn out and heal from it? Why would you allow the pain for one month now?"
The lion looked surprised and says "I never realized I could make a decision to remove it, I thought I had to be in pain for the rest of my life!"
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Maybe it's time for you to take action, remove a thorn, set a boundary, make a decision that may impact your life for the good.
Will you be a victim today or a victor?
