You can either be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It all depends on how you view your life.

Paulo Coelho
About This Quote

People who see their lives as a victim of the world tend to put themselves down and feel like they cannot make a difference. They pick and choose which battles they want to fight and which ones they don't care to engage. These people often live in fear of others and perceive the world as a place where they are always at risk of being hurt. This kind of thinking is far more destructive than any physical injury could be.
