THE INVICTUS PROJECT

I'm the first to put my hands up and say I was the first to blame and point the finger as to why things may not have worked out for me. I've thankfully moved on from this way of thinking. A lot of us tend to justify our behaviour to ourselves by saying, it's ok for me to behave in a certain way because of the "situation" I was in.
