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”
