"Victims and Victors"

Victims love giving their power away and blaming everybody and everything for their pleit.

Victors take responsibility for their life, actions, thoughts, feelings, etc.

Most of the people that I start out working with see themselves as victims, then after a while of working with them they start to sense the unlimited power they have as leading edge creators of their own experience.

That is when things really start to happen and there is no stopping from there. Very exciting! I absolutely love it when they take off and never look back!

Are you still playing the blame game?
Isn't it time that you re-claim your life back?

Your business, career and life success is my passion!

In Congress, July 4, 2006
The unanimous Declaration of the 10 United States of My Life,
“When in the Course of my life, it becomes necessary for me to dissolve the bands which have connected me with a bad life, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle me, a decent respect to the opinions of humanity requires that I should declare the causes which impel me to the separation.”
“I hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, I need to take responsibility for my life, deriving my just powers from the consent that I too deserve to have a great life, -- That whenever any Form of Life becomes destructive of these ends, it is my Right to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new way of Life, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to seem most likely to effect my Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that my life patterns long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that I am more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right myself by abolishing the forms to which I am accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is my right, it is my duty, to throw off such ways of living, and to provide new Guards for my future security.”

“Such has been my patient sufferance in 10 areas of life; and such is now the necessity which constrains me to alter my former Systems of Life. The history of me and my life is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these 10 areas of my life. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”

______ Total score (Number of checked boxes above)

“In every of the 10 areas of my life I have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: My repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A person whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free me.”

“Nor have I been wanting in attentions to my fellow brethren. I have warned them from time to time of their attempts to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over me. I have reminded them of the circumstances of my emigration and settlement here. I have appealed to their justice and magnanimity, and I have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. I must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as I hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.”

“I, therefore, the sole Representative of the united Areas of My Life, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of my intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good Life that I deserve, solemnly publish and declare, That I am, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent to live the good life; that I am Absolved from all Allegiance to the bad life, and that all connection between me and the State of a bad life, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent person, I have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent people may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, I mutually pledge to myself my Life, my Fortune and my sacred Honor.”
