class=\"section section--text-block\">\n  <div class=\"wrapper\">\n    <div class=\"x_elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: left\">Every day is filled with opportunities and decisions that build this life we are building, like individual bricks that will eventually give shape to a structure, however solid or shaky.\u00a0 Those decisions have direct and indirect repercussions on us and those around us, each one driven by the pursuit of what we love and the avoidance of what we fear.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: left\">People who are in the Victim role (as used in Karpman\u2019s Drama Triangle) are people who live in fear, but they don\u2019t always seem to be.\u00a0 While some are angry at the world or a select number of people, refusing to take responsibility for anything and expecting others to rescue them from their woes, there are some who seem empowered because they work and move, and make changes.\u00a0 They may even be living successful lives.\u00a0 They may even inspire others to make important changes in their own lives.\u00a0 Success, however, is not a necessary indicator of not being in a Victim role.\u00a0 What makes them either a Victim or a Creator (to use David Emerald\u2019s terminology in\u00a0<i>The Power of TED<\/i>), is what drives them.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">The Victim flees from his source of fear without a clear sense of direction.\u00a0 We see this in the one who works for incalculable wealth, neglecting his loved ones or compromising his values in the process, always striving for that elusive sense of security.\u00a0 We see a life of fear in the one who is stuck in a rigid routine while the people in need around him become invisible the moment meeting their needs imply straying from that routine because he is incapable of looking beyond that self-imposed strait-jacket like it\u2019s some kind of safety bunker amidst a nuclear blast zone, like everything outside of that routine is deemed bad, unsafe, or substandard.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">I had a fear-filled life myself when I moved from my hometown in my pre-teen years and chose to cut ties with almost everyone, Goliaths and people who were good to me.\u00a0 I was hoping for a clean slate and a fresh start.\u00a0 I did get that clean slate, but it didn\u2019t make me as empowered and I would\u2019ve liked.\u00a0 I met some new Goliaths.\u00a0 In later years, in my thirties, I reconnected with a few former hometown peers through social media, only to quickly realize that the way I had seen some of them had been really unfair.\u00a0 They had been bystanders to what I had been through in those earlier years, but they were never part of the abuse itself.\u00a0 I had failed to recognize good people in my life because I was too consumed by my wounds and self-pity.\u00a0 Fear had driven me to dig some deep trenches around me to try to protect myself.\u00a0 It\u2019s a reflex I still have to this day.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">The Creator, on the other hand, is driven by love and vision to attain the object of his focus that is always before his eyes. \u00a0The empowered person is vision-focused, unlike the victim who is focused on past injuries and injustices.\u00a0 Empowerment is, in a way, to focus on what we want instead of what we don\u2019t want.\u00a0 Focusing on what we don\u2019t want is like fixating on that rear view mirror while we\u2019re driving.\u00a0 Good luck staying on the road for long, let alone getting to your destination.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">There is a line from\u00a0<i>The Power of TED\u00a0<\/i>that I really appreciate: \u201cWhen you focus on those things in your life that hold meaning and purpose, your passion just naturally flows.\u201d\u00a0 As stated in a previous post, we are teleological beings.\u00a0 In other words, we do what we do for a purpose.\u00a0 Without a purpose, we become disoriented and unmotivated.\u00a0 Think of a task or a job you\u2019ve undertaken that didn\u2019t interest you all that much.\u00a0 How easy was it to stick to it?\u00a0 Compare it to something you do that you find meaningful and fulfilling.\u00a0 There\u2019s no comparison is there?\u00a0 Our hearts lie in those things that give us meaning and purpose, and where our hearts lie is what we love.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">Now I\u2019m not saying that every object of one\u2019s love in the world is equal.\u00a0 Sometimes what we pursue is nothing more than the opposite of what we fear because we are in fact living in fear\u2026 as I did.\u00a0 I do believe that there is an order of goodness, that some things are better for us than others, but that\u2019s a discussion for another time.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">Take the time to consider what gives you purpose and meaning.\u00a0 What are you doing that helps you move towards it.\u00a0 Are there any habits or road blocks that keep you from it?\u00a0 To end with an example, writing is something that gives me meaning and purpose.\u00a0 I love the written word, but I had roadblocks and habits that kept me away from dedicating time to it.\u00a0 With a few minor, yet significant changes, I now have designated times in my schedule that allow me to write a little most days, even if just for thirty minutes at a time.\u00a0 Making empowering changes to pursue what we love doesn\u2019t have to turn our lives upside down every time, but it does provide us with opportunities to thrive.<\/div>\n
