“The people who get into trouble in our company are those who carry around the anchor of the past.” Quote by John Welch
“Victims may be defensive, submissive, over-accommodating to others, passive-aggressive in conflict, dependent on others for self-worth, overly sensitive, even manipulative. They're often angry, resentful, and envious, feeling unworthy or ashamed about their circumstances. Have you ever felt or acted this way?” WayMaySelfFeelingsFeltCircumstancesConflictVictimAngrySelf WorthSensitiveAshamedDependentAggressivePassiveUnworthyEnviousSubmissiveManipulativeResentfulPassive Aggressive Author:David Emerald Womeldorff

“The way you talk about yourself and your life-your story-has a great deal to do with what shows up in your day-to-day experience. Your thoughts create filters through which you view your life. If you think of yourself as a Victim, you filter all that happens to you through the lens of DDT, and you find plenty of evidence to support that viewpoint. That's why the orientation you adopt is so important: it exerts a powerful influence on your life direction.” IfsThinkingWayImportantStoriesShowsHappensViewsDealsPowerfulSupportInfluenceEvidenceExperienceVictimPlentyAbout YourselfDay To DayLensesThink Of YouOrientationViewpointsFiltersLife DirectionDdt Author:David Emerald Womeldorff
