Summary
We all have goals and dreams...
Something we want to become...
A place we want to reach...
The quickest way to guarantee that none of those things ever happen is to have a victim mindset!
In fact, whether we realize it or not, a victim mindset is fueled exclusively by the excuses of the person who possesses it.
Excuses can sometimes be true statements, may seem harmless and even justified at times...
But excuses destroy our life.
They deplete our confidence, self esteem, self worth and completely cut off any chance for growth in any area of life.
Excuses, blaming, complaining, feeling sorry for yourself and the victim mindset all have one thing in common...
They will never, and have never brought you closer to your goals or dreams.
In episode 70, Chris dives into his own life experiences with the victim mindset. He gets brutally honest about how dangerous it is and shares the steps people can take to permanently free themselves from its destructive nature, so they can reclaim control of their life! Enjoy and be sure to share with a friend who would get value from listening.
