Get Mad!

I mean it... Get *REALLY* mad!

Get MAD anytime you have to do something that you don't really want to do (like going to work FOR

SOMEBODY ELSE early in the morning)...

Get MAD for all the times you've wanted to buy something nice for yourself, go on a vacation, take the day off, or (insert your desires here) but couldn't afford it...

Get MAD if you've ever worried when the stock market goes down...

Get MAD if there has ever been an opportunity to improve your life or the life of people you love, but you couldn't take advantage of it because of time or financial limitations...

Get MAD if what you *REALLY* wish you could do in this life isn't happening YET...

Why I'm a telling you to get mad? Don't all the self-help materials tell you to keep a positive attitude... things will "work out"???

Guess what... THEY'RE WRONG!

*Before* you jump in and ride the positive attitude parade, you need to get red-hot, ***boiling*** MAD about the way things are RIGHT NOW... It's only when you GET MAD, get fed up and get really pissed off with the way things have been or the way things are now that you will take the ACTION necessary to change your current situation and make it into something better.

We are creatures driven by two desires only:

1) The desire to gain pleasure.

2) The desire to avoid pain.

And the latter is stronger than the former. We are much more motivated to *avoid pain* than to gain pleasure. Yes, we are all driven by the carrot and the stick, but fear of the stick will get the average person moving a lot faster than a salad at the end of a hard days work...

Why do you *really* go to work every day? Is it because you’re pursuing your passion and some grandiose goals? I truly hope so! But most people get up and go to work because they FEAR losing their job and ending up homeless on the side of the streets begging for KFC leftovers to get them through the night... The desire to avoid this horrific pain is EXTREMELY motivational, isn't it?! USE IT!!!

Don't fight against the forces that govern your very existence... pleasure and pain. Use them wisely to your benefit. If you know that pain motivates you, MAKE YOURSELF FEEL PAIN so that you will TAKE ACTION and change your current circumstances. It's OK to use your imagination here.

Think about what would happen if you got fired and couldn't find another job for the next 6 months... How freaked out would you get then? Feel that.

Think about what would happen if you simply did nothing different for the rest of your life and continued to live the "status quo", do-what's-expected-of-you lifestyle that's got you this far and left many of your most sacred dreams and ambitions on the table. How painful will it be to be on your deathbed knowing that you never even tried to do what your heart was telling you that you *really* wanted to do in this life? Feel that.

Think about what not having enough time or money is NOT ALLOWING you to do that you really, really, really, really wish you could do (insert all the things that are important to you but seem out of reach right now here)... Feel that.

THEN GET MAD!

GET ANGRY!

GET FRICKIN' PISSED OFF!

..... and then RIGHT NOW, before the feeling fades away or is numbed out of existence by your favourite television show or alcoholic beverage, MAKE A DECISION to change. That's all it takes. As soon as you decide that you've HAD ENOUGH with the mediocrity you've accepted up to this point, the world shifts on its axis and will present you with new ways to think, new ways to act, and new ways to LIVE.

Big doors swing on small hinges and the hinges that open the doors of opportunity are always the DECISIONS we make about what we will and what we won't settle for in our life. If you allow yourself to get MAD ENOUGH, the "settling point" for what you can and will receive in your life will be raised and you will experience a better future... a future more closely aligned with WHAT YOU WERE BORN TO DO here on Earth.

So GET MAD, TAKE ACTION, and GET PREPARED to *be happy* as you start creating your life on your terms the way you always hoped it would be... and it can my friend - it really, truly can!

When I *GOT MAD*, I decided to find better way to make my living contrary to what my parents and society at large told me was possible... I'm so glad I did because now I'm living my dream life and helping others live theirs.
