  • So the other day I was talking to a friend of mine, and we started discussing why some people are successful, while others are not.

  • Unsurprisingly, whoever we talked about, he seems to know the reason behind his or her success.

  • But the common trade among all of them was that they all were lucky.

  • One way or another one is lucky because he naturally got a beautiful voice.

  • The others video simply went viral on YouTube, so that's also luck.

  • The third one simply was born into a rich family, so he had all the opportunities in front of him.

  • And that's the mentality of the victim.

  • And it's so widespread in our society that most of us truly believe that's how it should be.

  • In fact, those who go through strategy and hardship in life we look at them ast week and we pity them.

  • But at the end of the day, you choose how these events are going to affect you.

  • You can view them as exciting adventures that make your life interesting or tragedies that will only make you miserable.

  • Let me just give you a very simple example off how the same incident can lead to people to think in two opposite ways.

  • Let's say hypothetically, you had an accident and you survived, but unfortunately you lost your feet.

  • If you think of yourself as a victim, you will constantly remind yourself and the people around you that you went through this horrible accident.

  • And since then, you can't lead a normal and healthy life.

  • Because of this accident, you couldn't realize your dreams, achieve your goals or start that business that you always wanted.

  • On the other side, there are people who come toe absolutely opposite conclusions after the exact same incident.

  • First of all, he's thankful that he only lost his feet and not his life.

  • It made him realize that life is short and he should take advantage off every minute off it.

  • And the fact that he survived such an accident, it's simply a miracle.

  • So he spends the rest of his life energized passion and more excited to pursue his goals.

  • You might have expected in this video to get some kind of financial advice on where to invest your money so that you can make even more money.

  • But honestly, everything you need to know about money and investing is available all over the Internet, but you are not going to take advantage of them if you don't get out of this victim position where most people are and like to think about the example of 50 Cent, the rapper whose network is millions of dollars, he didn't have a good start.

  • In fact, he lost his parents at an early age.

  • But what's more fascinating about his life is that when he was 25 he was short nine bullets in his hand lip, both legs and chest.

  • Thankfully, he survived.

  • And instead of being afraid to take any risk again for the rest of his life, this incident made him absolutely fearless because he kinda have tested the death itself.

  • And there is nothing else left for him to be afraid off.

  • Think about it.

  • He was trying to get into the music industry, but he was also shot in his left cheek, which means he can't properly rap now.

  • But even with all of these injuries, he smashed everything and released his album and use the music industry as a gateway to financial freedom because he took the money that he earned from the music and invested it into multiple other businesses.

  • Remember, most people do not consciously decide to be the victim.

  • The environment they grew up has taught them that the people they look upto acted like a victim, so they took an example of them.

  • When you grow up in the family, where your parents constantly complain that everything is bad because of this uneducated pigs in the White House and the Congress, if only they did their job, the economy would be better off and we would not be in this dark financial position.

  • It's pretty comfortable to be in this position because you're constantly hiding behind someone or something else.

  • Off course, it's by far, isn't easy to get out of this victim position, and you have to be mentally and spiritually strong in order to fight back there multiple videos on this channel that can help you, but they also created an entire course that's targeted to get you out of this victim mentality.
