Victim or Victor? The Choice is Yours

We are all given one opportunity at life. What we make of it is our choice. We make a decision every day — choosing between courage and cowardice. We become a victim or a victor.

A victim will sit and point fingers at the world, blaming others and complaining about everything outside of themselves and making excuses about why they have failed to achieve their goals and build the life of their dreams. The victor walks through life with one eye turned inwards, realising that everything on the outside is a manifestation of what is happening within. They rarely complain to gain pity from people, instead only doing so when they know that their complaint will see a change occur in the world. Instead of blaming, they look for resolutions and study the problem with the intent of learning about what they might be able to do differently next time.

A victim will sit and plead that life is unfair and look towards people for pity that reinforces their own self-pity and beliefs, and enables their cowardly behaviour. A victor, on the other hand, seeks out those people that will tell them the truth and stand to confront any behaviour that might be unconscious and not coming from a place of truth and courage.

For the victor, everything is an opportunity to learn and grow because the purpose of life is self-mastery — to become the best that they can be in the time that is given to them. The victor is conscious that life is ephemeral and, therefore, sees no value in spending time blaming and complaining.

The victim will usually spend their life repeating the same patterns and behaviours and remain stuck in cycles, living in the same environment, surrounded by the same faces and hearing the same stories on repeat. They fail to access their own divine power and never come to realise that they are consciously or unconsciously creating their own reality. To the victim, all hope is lost unless something terrible and traumatic jolts them from their unconsciousness and they find a spark of curiosity that forces them to ask the question:

Why?
