never let yourself be the victim I could go back in time and have a conversation with my eight to ten year old self that would be the message I would give because when you think about it you're a kid things don't go your way what do you do you cry you whine you throw a fit you want your parents to feel sorry for you you feel sorry for yourself how you deal with things at that age and then you grow up but you don't necessarily shed that habit that mentality and it becomes obvious right I
mean you can talk to someone for 30 seconds and you know right away if they have that victim mentality the world falling down they're tired they have so much to do they're so busy X Y & Z look having that mindset does two things for you one it makes you come across helpless and weak and no one wants to come across that way to it does not get you to where you're going it does not change the situation right here's the reality there is always a way to get what you want there is always a
way to position yourself to move away from what you don't want you can quite literally become what you want to become but you cannot look at life like it's this problem like it's against you the ball is in your court you know it wasn't that long ago two-three years ago that I was not the happiest guy in the world right did not like what I was doing did not like how I was spending my time was not energized was not passionate about very much but the time came where I didn't want to live like that
I had a conversation with myself I stopped being the victim I stopped complaining and I asked myself dude what do you want what is your purpose what is your goal who do you want to become and I literally made the decision and walked away a different person and the things around me changed my life changed because I made a decision to never be the victim again to get what I want I became the author of my own story and you realize just how simple it is to transform your situation not easy right and it takes
time but there's always a way to get from point A to point be and this separates the world into two kinds of people people who look at how things are who accept reality as truth who complain and people who look at what can be who make the most of any situation look at life as if it's clay to be molded to be shaped it seems funny to me knowing what I do now that I went through any of my life like a hamster on a wheel that I talked to people every day who didn't energize
me that I didn't want to be around that I did things I wasn't passionate about that is insanity because if you don't like something but you do nothing to change it what's left for you to do complain why stay where you are that's it see one of the reasons I reference athletics so much is because they bring this mentality on you that when things become difficult when things become challenging your job your one job is to find a way to figure it out and I always think then I took that and I brought it to
everything else I do and now it's eye-opening to see people achieving success financial freedom these things everyone wants and know that the difference between them and everyone else is that they felt like they deserved it a lot of the time they weren't smarter stronger they weren't more gifted starting out but they move toward what they wanted they didn't cry or groan about the problems they didn't look for sympathy those at the top of the mountain are not victims they would never let themselves be victims it's about the other side the opportunity getting from where you
are to what you Oh
