Words of Wisdom from a Friend

“Have you ever been motivated because someone was an asshole to you. It’s like having a nemesis, (Batman is the Joker’s main nemesis and always foils his wicked plots) to fight against that makes you stronger or better.

“I’ll show you, asshole.”

One of the best ways to motivate me is to insult me — or for me to manufacture a way to feel insulted. I use rejection to fuel my motivation to do whatever it takes to prove that person wrong and, more importantly, achieve what I want to achieve. Call it childish and immature. I don’t care — it works for me. And it can work for you. So next time don’t turn the other mental cheek. Get pissed off, even if your anger is unjustified and imaginary — in fact, especially if your anger is unjustified or angry — and use it for fuel to shake you out of your same thing, different day rut”.
