With a greater understanding of fear, our lives are freer - allowing conscious, whole decisions rather than reactive ones. Fear is the shadow bearing untold gifts. The Jewels of Choice Victims are those whose actual sufferings are long past, yet their present is molded in some measure by the imprinting of those old events and circumstances. Survivors see mountains as a challenge to overcome. Always ready for battle, they live prepared for the next catastrophe.
Survivors are the alter ego of victims.
You can't have one without the other for they provide fuel for each other - making the pattern hard to break. Winners break the tie, so to speak. Winners see mountains as opportunities for inspiration and wisdom. They accept responsibility for their lives and know they are always at choice. Real power is the power of beingness, the power of knowing who you are and allowing yourself 'to be' accordingly.
