You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. "They" did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. "They" are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as "they" are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
生活中有很多机会让你选择成为受害者或创造者。当你选择成为受害者时，世界是一个寒冷而困难的地方。“他们”对你做了一些事情，造成了你所有的痛苦。“他们”是错的，坏的，只要“他们”在身边，生活就是可怕的。或者你可能会为所有的问题责备自己，从而将你的受害内化。真相就是说，只要你觉得有必要责备自己或他人，你的生活就可能一直是这样。

Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don't let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don't blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
那些选择成为创造者的人对生活的看法完全不同。他们知道有些人可能想控制自己的生活，但他们不会让这成为阻碍。他们知道自己有弱点，但失败时他们不会责怪自己。无论发生什么事，他们在这件事上都有选择。他们相信与生命中每一个神圣时刻共舞是一份礼物，风暴是生活中自然的一部分，可以带来情感和精神成长所需的雨水。

Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others - and even themselves - to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.
受害者和创造者生活在同一个物质世界，应对许多相同的物理现实，但他们的生活体验完全不同。受害者沉溺在愤怒、内疚和其他导致他人的情绪中﹣﹣﹣甚至他们自己﹣﹣﹣也要有受害者的感觉。创造者有意识地选择爱、灵感和其他品质，不仅激励自己，还激励周围的人。受害者和创造者都可以选择自己的生活方向。

In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
事实上，我们所有人在生活中的不同阶段都扮演着受害者或创造者的角色。一个人在失去一份工作或一段特殊的关系时，可能会觉得这是世界末日，陷入可怕的痛苦长达数月、数年甚至一生。另一个有同样经历的人可能会选择先体验悲伤，然后接受损失，然后很快成为一个强大的人他生命中的创造力。

In every moment and every circumstance，you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
在每一个时刻和每一种情况下，你都可以选择拥有更充实、更丰富的生活，通过设定一个明确的意图来改变受害者内心，并邀请强大的创造者进入你的生活。
