Was Stephen Pierce A Victim Of His Own Circumstances, Just Like You? © Gideon Shalwick

I’m about to reveal to you the secret of how Internet Marketing Wizard, Stephen Pierce, went from a homeless person to multi-millionaire…but first I have to ask you a very serious question:

How do you see yourself? As a Victim, or as a Victor?

What’s the difference you ask?

Well, a victim is someone who constantly complains about how “Life” has given them the shorter end of the stick and how everything is just going wrong in their lives. For example, a Victim would say something like this: “I’m a failure because of my parents. They never gave me the opportunities I needed to succeed as a child, so it’s all THEIR fault.”

Notice where the blame lies.

A Victor, on the other hand, is someone who is aware of all the trials and tribulations of life, but understands that they themselves have FULL control over how they respond to those conditions. For example. A typical Victor would say something like this: “When Life gives you a lemon, make lemonade!”

In other words, Victors don’t blame anyone for where they are at in life, and they take responsibility for their own actions.

Which of the above two types of people do you think has a better chance of succeeding in life?

(Here’s a tip: The one who takes responsibility for their lives and actually takes massive action to change their immediate environment.)

So, which one are you? Victim or Victor? And remember that it really comes down to a choice. Nobody is born a Victim or a Victor. It’s how you view life and what happens to you in life, and how you take action in response to whatever happens in life that makes the difference.

Now, I mentioned that I was going to reveal to you Stephen Pierce’s secret of how he went from a homeless person to a multi-millionaire. So, here it is:

He stopped acting like a Victim, realized that he actually had control over how he responds to life’s events and that he was in fact the creator of his own circumstances.

That was the start of the road to success for Stephen Pierce. It seems like, since then, life has really changed for him in a HUGE way.

I too used to assume that I was a victim in life and that everything always “happened” to me. But since the day I realized that I actually have a choice of how I respond to these life events (note that I don’t have a choice about the events themselves), my life changed for the better.

It’s quite liberating once you’ve flicked this small mental “switch” inside of your head. You simply start viewing life from a totally different perspective.

Ok, so now for the practical part. How do you actually go from being a Victim to becoming a Victor?

Easy.

Here are the steps:

Step 1: Create a banner with the following words on it and stick it in a place (like the wall next to your bed) where you will see it all the time:

“If Life gives you a lemon, make lemonade!”

Step 2: When something bad happens, don’t blame everything and everyone else. Think about what you can do to correct or improve the situation. There’s a Chinese saying that goes something like this:

“There’s opportunity in every failure or adversity.”

Use this saying to inspire you whenever something goes wrong.

Step 3: Start taking responsibility for your own actions. Remember that, if we want to make this world a better place as a collective human race, we must get rid of the notion of “our own rights” and adopt the new notion of “our own responsibilities”. That is, instead of fighting for our “rights” and blaming everyone and everything for our less than stellar existence, why not take responsibility, take action and start making a positive difference to our and everyone elses life?

That should do the trick.

It’s amazing how seemingly little things could have such huge impacts on our lives. But nothing will happen if you don’t actually take action and implement the things you learn here.

So go ahead, and impellent the above 3 steps. Next time I see you, I won’t except any excuses

Talk soon!
