Robin Sharma’s Uncommon Methods for an Astonishing Year

Victim-to-Hero-Leap

I'll show you how victims operate so you can never have any part of victimhood. And so you will consistently work and live and deliver like a leader.

Five elements of it.

Victims are all about a mindset of can't. Well, I can't get up early. I can't push magic into the world. I can't run a business. I can't be debt-free this year. I can't spend more time with my family because I'm busy. I can't put my digital device down because people need me. I can't read from a book every night because of this. I can't run a marathon this year because of this. I can't spend more time with my family. I can't make my mark on the world. I can't launch a movement. I can't get super fit this year. I can't be a positive person because whatever. Victims are all about excuses.

Heroes are all about results. Make the leap starting today from any form of a mindset of can't to the mentality of can. It's a mindset and a heart-set shift where you say, yes, I can do it. And yes, if you've been saying can't all your life, it's going to be a while before you go, I can do this. Before you can see adversity and go, hmm, there must be opportunity here. But just think about that. I can do this. I can install the habits Robin is speaking of. I can make this the most amazing year of my life. I can have positive people around me versus energy vampires. I can be the most productive person in my field. I can start fasting. I can stop eating the wrong food. I can start getting up early. I can, starting tomorrow morning, have a morning workout. I can be kinder to my family. I can be more positive to myself. I can grow every day.

Second element of the victim-to-hero leap

The victim is all about excuses and they've recited their excuses so many times they've actually brainwashed themselves to think they're true. A hero delivers results.

Third element of the victim-to-hero leap

Make the leap from living in your past. The hero is all about making your future brighter.

It's just they keep on repeating, how can I make tomorrow better?

How can I make this year my greatest year yet? And then next year, how can I make that year better? Your past is not a prison. Your past has come to serve you, to make you who you are.

I don't know about you, but I've grown the most through my difficult experiences.

The things that have broken my heart have actually been the very things that opened my heart.

Rumi, the great philosopher, said it well. He said, keep breaking your heart over and over and over until it opens.

Helen Keller said it beautifully. She said, if there was only joy in the world, we would not learn patience and strength.

You have the wisdom you have, you have the strength you have, through your most difficult experiences.

I believe the past is a perfect orchestration.

Every person who came into your life, every difficult event, was perfectly calibrated to teach you the lesson you need to learn to get to the next level of consciousness, wisdom, bravery and love.

There's been no mistakes. Use your past as a platform for greater possibility. That's what heroes do.
