When the Streets Became Your Classroom
At sixteen, Eric Thomas was sleeping in abandoned Detroit buildings and eating from dumpsters. Not because he had to-but because he chose to. After discovering his adoption at twelve, he pushed everyone away and embraced homelessness as his identity. Years later, he'd stand on stages worldwide, his voice shaking arenas and boardrooms alike. The transformation wasn't magic. It was the result of one brutal realization: nobody was coming to save him. The person standing between Eric and his future wasn't his absent father, his overwhelmed mother, or an unjust system. It was Eric himself. This is where real change begins-not when circumstances improve, but when you stop waiting for them to. Think about the last time something went wrong. Did you immediately scan for who or what to blame? That's the victim reflex, and it's more comfortable than you'd think. When you're the victim, you're off the hook. Someone else is responsible. Someone else needs to change. Someone else owes you. But here's the catch: when you surrender control, you're playing Russian roulette with your life. You can't predict where you'll land because you're not steering. Eric's mother grew up on welfare in 1970s Chicago, enduring racial slurs while trying to buy furniture. She never acted like a victim. His friend Inky Johnson lost the use of his right arm and his NFL dreams in a single devastating injury. He didn't become a victim either-he earned a master's degree and became a speaker. The pattern is clear: victimhood is a choice, and so is agency. Breaking free requires four commitments. First, take ownership of yourself-your time, your choices, your reactions. Second, own your decisions without excuses. Third, set concrete standards instead of vague wishes. Fourth, when you say you'll do something, do it. The moment you realize you're the only obstacle, everything shifts.
