We live in a world that seems to glorify victim mentality. It’s become accepted to think that we are simply a victim of our upbringing, our skin color, our gender or whatever else we may choose to decide makes us at a disadvantage.

In some cases, we are even rewarded for being socially disadvantaged.

And it feels good at first. It feels good to throw yourself a pity party and make excuses for why you are the way you are and why you aren’t as successful as you could have been.
