Top 10 Traits That Separate A Warrior From A Victim
During my mental strength coaching over the past 5+ years I have observed certain traits that people exhibit.
To generalize, they fall either into the “warrior” category, or the “victim” category.
I’ve taken what I consider to be the 10 traits of a warrior and a victim and provided them below.
Warrior |
Victim |
Takes responsibility for results | Blames, complains or justifies |
Responds differently according to the circumstances | Rigged, unbending “I’ve always done it this way” |
Knows that people work perfectly from where they are with what they know | Tires to make themselves look better by making others look small |
Knows the response they get is a reflection of their message and will change the message to ensure the right response | Places blame for miscommunication on the other person, “Why don’t they understand!?” |
Creates reason why they should do something | Creates excuses why they can’t do something |
Takes decisive action, “If it’s meant to be, it’s up to me.” | Waits for others to tell them what to do |
Asks, “How can I…?” questions | Asks, “Why can’t I …?” questions |
Knows they have all the resources they need (inside themselves) | Feels stuck and doesn’t have any resources except what others tell them |
Is a master at working with both the unconsciousness and conscious mind | Can’t control their thoughts, emotions, or actions. “I just can’t help myself” |
This table is far from all inclusive, but as you read them, be honest with yourself and think about how many times a day are you on each side.
The goal here is to be aware of where you are and then decide is where you are is where you want to be.
Below is a pic version of the table so that you can save it, print it out and review it through out the day.
