To believe that you are a victim of circumstances and events shows a negative attitude toward yourself and toward life. It also means that you lack self-confidence and self-esteem. If you believe that you are a victim and act like one, you allow other people to pull your strings and affect your life.

Positive people donโ€™t allow other people to pull their strings.

They know that blaming others for their problems and situation leads nowhere. They know that they should pull their own strings. They rely on themselves, are happy and confident, and expect productive results.
