Last week was very telling for me. During my practice sessions it was as if I was wearing special glasses. My left lenses saw people that were enjoying some personal victories. These were mostly nothing major. They were little victories and often in their “private” lives. The result was ENERGY. I could see it…they could feel it.
My right eye saw victims. People that were giving up. Nothing I did seemed to jolt them from this state. They looked like the “walking dead.” These people, mostly without their awareness, have taken up residence in VICTIMHOOD.
Do NOT buy a home in VICTIMHOOD. You can buy it really easily…the trouble comes when you try to move out.
Have you looked in the mirror lately?
What are we reading when we look in YOUR eyes?
How do you know?
Where are you taking up residence?
Why? Why? Why?
Have you bought the “lie” that it’s about your spouse, your boss, your peers, your team, your competition, your partner, your lawyer, your neighbor, your parents, your…
How’s your energy?
Are you claiming “little” wins for you and your teams or are you whining all the way back to your home in VICTIMHOOD?
Ask your truth tellers what they see when they look in your eyes.
BUILT TO LEAD 
This is interesting as I see it, most disturbingly, with kids who learn this from their parents. It seems that personal responsibility is not a core competency in our society anymore and that we are more than willing to abdicate this to whoever is willing to take it. There was a COO in an company I worked with who used this as his standard “issue” you would bring up. When he would ask why you had not taken action on something and you responded that “someone would not assist or you could not get approval…” his response would always be, “so, you’re a victim?”
it was quite effective…
