Visitors

If you are a Visitor, you will set goals for yourself, just as a Victor would. But unlike a Victor, you never quite accomplish them, and even if you do, not predictably.

For example, you might want to be a top executive at a Fortune 500 international corporation, but you lack the qualifications. You waver indecisively between going back to school part time or full time or neither, and cannot quite figure out what courses to take even if you did go back to school.

You seem to suffer from a perpetual mid-life crisis, but instead of doing something about it you become complacent and satisfy yourself with what you have, which is often second best or second rate.

As a Visitor (which, it must be noted, is not the same as a Victim), you actually make the best employee. You are amiable, loyal, and are happy to accept your pay without expecting more.

However, as a Visitor, you might sometimes feel that life is a spectator sport, since you seem to stay in the bleachers to support your partner, your children, or your friends instead of being the one out on the field kicking the winning goals.

Remember the business executive in the story about the fisherman and the business executive? I think he, the business executive, might be a Visitor. I suspect that he has some great ideas but possibly never fulfils them. The evidence I see for this is in his inability to see that the fisherman has already got life figured out as simple as that might be. The business executive is constantly striving for something more, and is full of advice for others, but seems to constantly fall short himself so just keeps working never really allowing himself to take too much time off.

By the way, the world needs Visitors. You are genuinely likeable people and are what might be described as “the salt of the earth.” You must, however, decide if what you’re doing is enough for you to be happy. If it isn’t enough and you take action to improve your life, you elevate immediately to become a Victor.

Visitors are often heard saying such things as:

• “Well, at least I didn’t…”
• “At least I have…to be grateful for.”
• “This…is good enough for me.”
• “I’m so proud that my husband/child/friend has done so well.”
