Victim Vs Player: Getting Out Of The Victim Mentality Into A Position Of Making Action Happen

Do bad things happen to you or do you make the choices that cause them? In Episode #252 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: a TED video from Fred Kofman, why you might need to act weak for the sake of brevity or to avoid black truths, athletes & action makers & PUA's, our personal tendencies that result in a suboptimal mindset, the book by Marshall Rosenberg, Adam Curry's bad luck after bad luck for his helicopter company, whether we are actively focusing on self improvement and why everything we just said is untrue and we are actually victims that deserve lots of boostagrams. As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out! Timeline: (0:00) - Victim vs Player TED video (2:39) - Is it ever ok to act like the victim?
