For starters, STOP focusing on those who you believe to be in control. You give them power by focusing on them. STOP focusing on doomsday scenarios. You make them more likely by focusing on them. STOP following anyone and START thinking for yourself. Focus on the future you want, a future that we can all be proud of, that is for the best and highest good of all. START making it happen, in whatever ways present themselves to you. Make it your personal responsibility.

You can only be controlled if you continue to forget what you are - an amazingly powerful sovereign being.

Selfishness is also an important part of the victim mentality. Becoming unselfish, focusing more on the needs of others and doing something about it, is a good way to start.

We have to clean up our own mess, even if we were tricked or misled into the actions which got us here.

A victim is someone who is waiting for someone, something, or some event to rescue them.

A lot to work on but the sooner the better.
