Warrior vs. Victim: Warrior Mind Podcast #369
Over four years and going strong! With over 500,000 downloads from over 9 countries and 5 continents’…. this is the Warrior Mind Podcast.
In this episode of the Warrior Mind Podcast I’m going to discuss the difference between a warrior and a victim and why knowing this is important.
During my mental strength coaching over the past 8+ 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.
