The way in which we view ourselves in relation to our circumstances has a powerful impact upon the story that we tell ourselves about life, and our subsequent attitude and reactions. If you interpret every situation as ‘happening to you’, rather than seeing yourself as an active and powerful agent in your life that can influence circumstances, you are playing a victim role in your life. You give power over to the external influences and simply react to what happens. On the flip side, if you view yourself as the main influence in the events of your life, you see yourself as a powerful element in the world, able to control and change circumstances through your attitude and actions. As I’m sure you can appreciate, seeing the world and your circumstances as something that you can affect powerfully is much more motivating, empowering and beneficial to chasing your specific goals. Try to identify your patterns of thinking today and the way that you speak about situations. Are you giving yourself a sense of control and agency in your life – being a victor? Or do you see yourself on the receiving end of life – a victim mentality?
