Brother let’s get real for a minute: 

We’ve all got a little victim mentality in us. 

We’ve all got at least one area of life where we struggle, and not getting the results we want. 

Maybe you see others making more money than you.
Maybe you see others more successful in love and romance.
Maybe you see other guys have the body that you wish you had. 

When we’re not getting what we want, its tempting to indulge in the idea the game is rigged against us…and that’s why we’re not winning. 

Now that’s not to say you don’t have it harder than others in certain aspects of your life. 

We’re all born into different circumstances where things like money, race, physical appearance, sexual orientation and whether you grew up in a loving or broken home create uneven playing fields.

And then we have different life experiences where we collect a lot of evidence as to whether the wind is at your sails, or if you’re running with a parachute attached to your back. 

So yes, we are all starting from different places, but we don’t have to stay stuck there.

As Viktor Frankl says:

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

In other words, you have the choice to remain a victim to your circumstances – or to adopt the mindset of a victor. 

In this Episode:

  • Why being a victim feels good sometimes
  • Why you shouldn’t pay attention to the evidence 
  • Why motivation isn’t enough to change…and why self-efficacy is your golden ticket
  • What Episodic Future Thinking is…and why 5,000 peer reviewed studies show it’s the #1 practice to develop a sense of self efficacy 
  • A 3 step process from shifting from Victim to Victor mindset
