Brilliant post, so true. You know when I see a little of myself at one stage reflected here it makes me shudder. I too have had to accept that ultimately it comes down to me and I have to be proactive, and change my way of thinking. I can't sit there and wait for someone else to do it all for me, but I do have to be prepared to listen and heed. If I want to stay stuck in the past instead of resolving it I will just continue to be the 'victim'.
