RULE 5. Don't Play The Victim Card

Taken from my NEW book YOUR LIFE, YOUR RULES...

5. DON’T PLAY THE VICTIM CARD

“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of yourself, but define yourself.” ~ Harvey S. Firestone

I wish to recall a conversation I had with an old friend several years ago. It was a particularly difficult period in my life. I was in a deep depression, struggling to cope with an impending bankruptcy, my divorce, and past issues I had failed to address, which were now having a very adverse effect on my well-being.

John, my friend, whom I had not seen for some time, asked me how life was treating me — it was a conversation which I will never forget. It went something like this…

John: “Hi, mate. Long time no see. How’s life treating you?”

Me: “Awful, to be honest, John. Life is crap. Everything is going wrong. I wish I had someone else’s life.”

John: “Swap you!”

Me: “Don’t be daft. You have a great life. You’re loaded — plenty of cash, great house, you’ve even got that villa in Florida. Why on earth would you want to swap me for all my problems?”

John: “I’ve got cancer, mate. I’ve been having treatment for ages.”

What could I say? I was speechless — I felt physically sick. I had made a total fool of myself, wallowed in self-pity, played the victim card.

I never saw my friend again, I can only hope that he made a full recovery, returned to his former glory. I remember the conversation though, as if it were only yesterday. It was a defining moment which helped change my perspective, helped me throw away my victim card. I faced my problems, my issues, and my illness — and beat them, eventually.

I made a full recovery because I refused to let my self-loathing destroy my life. I sought the help of my close friends, a good counsellor, and more importantly, my closest ally…ME!

“I had no shoes and complained, until I met a man with no feet.” ~ Indian Proverb

* Stop feeling sorry for yourself

* There is ALWAYS someone willing to swap

* Face your problems

A short story from my forthcoming book NEVER GIVE UP

Here is a short story from the new edition of NEVER GIVE UP which is due June 2015.

I hope you like it...


The Buddha was teaching a group of people one day when he found himself on the receiving end of a fierce outburst of abuse from a bystander, who was for some reason very angry and frustrated.

The Buddha listened patiently while the stranger vented his rage before addressing his audience. “If someone offers a gift to another person, who then chooses to decline it, tell me, who would then own the gift? The person who offered the gift or the person who refused to accept the gift?”

“The giver,” said the group after a little thought. 

“Any fool can see that,” added the angry stranger.

“Then it follows, does it not?” said the Buddha. “Whenever a person tries to abuse us, or to unload their anger on us, we can each choose to decline or to accept the abuse; whether to make it ours or not. By our personal response to the abuse from another, we can choose who owns and keeps the bad feelings.”

NEVER GIVE UP (book excerpt)

Here is an excerpt from my forthcoming book NEVER GIVE UP (Coming soon!)...

Believe In Yourself

“If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.” ~ Jesse Jackson

As I mentioned previously, we are usually conditioned from an early age by those around us. These limiting and disempowering beliefs can often stay with us as we journey through life.

Flea trainers used to place the fleas in small jars and then put the lid on. The fleas continued to jump up and down continually hitting the lid on the jar. They do this many times, jumping and hitting the lid, jumping and hitting the lid. Eventually the fleas learn that they cannot escape, so they continue to jump, but they no longer hit the lid. Interestingly, when the lid is removed, the fleas do not jump out of the jar, they simply jump as high as they have been conditioned to do. They have been restricted in their beliefs, for they no longer believe they can jump high enough to escape.

Similarly, baby elephants are conditioned by their trainers by tying a large rope around the leg of the elephant and attaching the other end to a large stake which is driven deep into the ground. When the baby elephant pulls on the rope to try and escape, it quickly learns that it is not strong enough to break the rope, so it gives up trying. Once the elephant is fully grown, it doesn’t even try to pull the stake from the ground any more because it learned from an early age that it wasn’t strong enough to do so. Of course, the elephant could easily break the rope if it really tried to do so, but the conditioning it received as a young elephant has severely limited its potential.

Are you a flea or an elephant, unable to do the things you wish to do because of negative childhood programming? Are you living a life preordained by others?

Some of the Amazon reviews for YOUR LIFE, YOUR RULES!

✭✭✭✭✭ Frankie W.

Insightful and written in his no nonsense fashion. You don't have to read this in any particular order because the table of comments has subjects listed. Start with what you need.


✭✭✭✭✭ J. Jacques

It certainly makes you see through the trees to the wood beneath. A lot of good advice. Action now required!


✭✭✭✭✭ Rachel Armstrong

This book is brilliant. It is information most of us know already but there is something about reading it all in one place that cements resolve, motivates for change and reminds you to refocus your life. It is all too easy to get caught in negative thought patterns and this book brings you round to a much more positive way of thinking. Writing goals focuses the mind, reminding yourself what is important in your life focuses you on getting back to appreciating these things but also it makes you decide just what is important to you. All ways round a great book to uplift, inspire, challenge and remind you what life is all about.


✭✭✭✭✭ Lorraine Anderson

Another great thought provoking book, great read!


✭✭✭✭✭ Soozy Booth

Your Life, Your Rules!
Simplistic! Realistic! Positive! Achievable! Inspiring!

'Your Life Your Rules' is not designed to give you definitive answers, nor is it a Bible - more a self help 'tool kit' to guide and advise, written honestly and taken from the authors own life experiences.
It is not written sequentially, it doesn't need to be! , Life and it's challenges do not come in some pre-determined order!
Start reading this book in the middle, the end or at the beginning. 'Your Life Your Rules' will be about you!
' Your Life Your Rules' is not a read once only book to be placed on your book shelf! It's a life long reference - a happy and positive life. Use it as needed.
The very fact you are reading this suggests that you may be in need of hope, inspiration and guidance - this book delivers on all 3 aspects and much much more!!
It's up to you how you use it!
But trust me ... You will succeed.... I did !!
Thank You Ivor.
Much love and God Bless You x

Well, being honest, I've known Ivor sins we were both joiner apprentice's. And later in life I found out he was the owner of my local gym, called «Body and Soul» were I met up with old friends, not just to chew the fat, but to try and burn it off.
While I was a full paying member for the first year or so, my personal life whet down the toilet. I found a helping hand and good advice, from Ivor and his co/ workers at that time. Ivor even let me use the gym for free when I couldn't afford the membership. This guy really saved my life. I never stopped to consider that maybe my old fried had problems too??
I have read "Never give up", and now "Your life your rules" Never give up sits on my book shelf by the side of a book Ivor gave to me written by his holiness the Dalai Lama
"Awakening the mind, lightening the heart"
I read somewhere that when the student is ready the teacher will appear, Never really understood this till now.
If you are ready to change your life, and live by your rules, then you just found the teacher. Ivor isn't perfect or some rich guy selling you a dream, he is a flawed, Honest, hardworking ordinary person, that just might, change your life for the better. As for the books, they really are great but I was ready to listen. Are you?
