Key Points
- The lens we use to look at the world and ourselves is actually how the world reacts back to us.
- What we look for is what we find.
- When you finish complaining and moaning, are you empowered or disempowered?
- We have an incredible privilege of choice to either take responsibility or to blame.
The 3 types of victims:
- Martyr victim – the victim who feels sorry for themselves
- Arrogant inferior victim – the person who cuts others down so he or she can feel better about themself
- Arrogant superior victim – the person who thinks all problems are below them, that everybody else is a fool who can’t do anything right
