Brian Johnson breaks down four archetypal roles we play in our own stories: victim, hero, guide, and villain. He argues we shift between them daily and should choose consciously, favoring the hero or guide over victim or villain.
Most victims don't see themselves as the victim of their story, but it'd be wise to look at the role you're playing. You're playing one of 4 roles, and we all have these different kind of personas within our consciousness, right? But pay attention. Are you being the victim of your story? Are you being the hero of your story, using your challenges as fuel to become the next best version of yourself, which we'll talk more about? Are you being the guide for others in your story? And/or are you being The villain. Persecuting others, victims, et cetera. Now again, we all play all of those roles, frankly, every day. We can find ourselves alternating between being the victim, being the hero, being the guide, and being the villain. But be mindful, choose wisely.
