From Victim to Victor

In the dictionary a victim is a person who is deceived or cheated, as by his or her own emotions or ignorance, by the dishonesty of others, or by some impersonal agency.

A victor is a person who has overcome or defeated an adversary or conqueror.

It is extraordinary that changing the last two letters can change the meaning so completely! The last two letters of victim could represent “I am” which denotes a belief, an acceptance that a statement is true about oneself and the last two letters of victor “or” is used to link alternatives. It is remarkable to note that these “alternatives” are the first step to changing a belief!

I am constantly looking for alternatives. I am constantly asking questions.                          My big two were:                                                                                                                             1-What am I attempting to accomplish?                                                                                    2-Why MUST it be accomplished?                                                                                                 I then decided that a little word change for the first question was all that was needed and it became:    What am I going to accomplish?

To answer that question is key!

I have answered that question and will be sharing my answer over the next few weeks

Stay tuned!
