There was a baseball team called the Bad News Bears.
They were a ragtag group of misfits who couldn’t play ball to save their lives.
The whole world was against them and it showed in the way that they played.
But through diligence, hard-work, and effective coaching, the tide eventually turned for them.
They rallied together, listened to their coach and became the best damn ball team ever… in the HISTORY of baseball.
I think, I’ve never actually seen the movie.
But I get these non-stop emails from a ragtag group of misfits who always say the SAME things to me…
“I can’t succeed because of XYZ. The world is against me because of XYZ…”
I call these emails bad news blues.
They LOVE hearing themselves complain like an OLD, broken down blues singer likes to hear himself sing.
The bad news blues, always with “why why why I can’t” instead of…
“here’s how I will”…
These bad news blues singers tend to come from America or Australia.
I would understand a little better if they were from, say, Greece, because it’s VERY HARD to succeed in Greece.
On the other hand, it’s very EASY to succeed in America because America is the land of opportunity.
I was able to make 6 figures a year in America with NO business experience, NO schooling, and absolutely ZERO contacts – just will, desire, and grit.
Immigrants come from living 10 deep in one bedroom apartments and make their wealth in America.
Kids BORN here don’t know what they got (’til it’s gone) so they send me bad news blues by email… every single day.
If I could sit these bad news blues kids down and speak to their hearts and minds I would say, very gently…
“Listen you fucking dip-shits –
You’re NEVER going to get ANYWHERE complaining like a little sissy bitch.When you act like a LITTLE BITCH of course the world is against you.The whole damn world HATES sissy complainers.When you act like a MAN the world couldn’t be more with you.You have ALL the opportunities that ever existed in the ENTIRE world and you don’t even know it.You’ve been TOO BUSY complaining, playing video games, and masturbating to cuckold p*rn to open your little sissy bitch eyes.So here’s what you’re going to do…You’re going to MAKE SOME DAMN MONEY.Work at Starbucks, work at McDonald’s, borrow some money from mommy, get the money WHEREVER you can get the MONEY.You’re going to get a passport, you’re going to buy an airplane ticket, and you’re going to sit your faggot ass on an airplane bound for Vietnam, The Philippines, Colombia, or Brazil.You will go ANYWHERE 3rd world, and when you GET THERE you’re going to HANG OUT in the POOR areas.You’re going to SEE how people with NOTHING live.You’re going to witness how fortunate you are to have been born ANYWHERE that isn’t there.You’re going to witness how much opportunity you bad news blues’d away.”
After you make this TRIP, you will realize that you have NEVER ever been oppressed. You have simply been a BIG very ugly… spoiled crybaby.
Then, when or if you COME BACK… you’re going to follow Coach Elijah’s 8 step formula to STOP being a BIG ugly filthy baby…
1) STOP complaining.
Crying is for BABIES so don’t cry about ANYTHING ever again.
If something is WRONG you simply MAKE A CHANGE and move forward.
Each and every COMPLAINT deserves a slap in the face.
Every time one of these little sissy, spoiled BRATS complains to me I would just as quick slap them in the face as soon as I look at them.
Since these little sissy brats are ON the internet I’m going to SLAP THEM in the face with WORDS.
2) Language MATTERS.
What you SAY is what becomes YOUR reality, so choose your WORDS very wisely my friend.
The MIND is more powerful than ANYTHING and what you SEE in yourself is what YOU will eventually BECOME.
“Why I can’t” is replaced with… “here’s what I will do”.
3) Always Work Backwards.
Come to me IN PERSON and say “I just don’t know what I want, I can’t succeed because of XYZ..” and I will slap your stupid face FOR YOU… completely FREE of charge.
So NOW that you know EXACTLY what you WANT… you can begin to simply work backwards.
4) Be consistent, DON’T ever STOP.
Success doesn’t ever happen overnight.
It’s the RESULT of days, months, and MANY years of consistency and very disciplined HARD WORK.
One of my good old longtime friends and I were at my dinner table one night and he asked me, “when did Frauds & Liars start paying you REAL money?”
REAL money… Like FUCK-YOU Money… Pat Flynn money… came at 3 years in.
So you STUPID dumb-dumb’s who ask “how can I make money NOW?” can just simply GO get a job at Starbucks.
REAL money don’t ever happen REALLY fast.
It takes years so just ACCEPT the FACT that it takes YEARS and GO forward.
5) Follow BREAK THE CYCLE.
There is NO BETTER program on EARTH for turning sissy bitches into Men of ACTION.
Do I have to KEEP screaming about the POWER of discipline?
Just FOLLOW the damn thing and then… you can THANK ME LATER.
6) Pay it forward.
After you’ve MADE YOUR MARK you’re going to hear bad news blues ALL THE TIME.
Complainers are going to seek you out so they can tell you HOW HARD it is for them to succeed.
Refrain from slapping them in the face and point them to THIS very article instead.
7) Never argue or debate with IDIOTS.
It makes you look straight up DUMB trying to CHANGE THE MIND of SOMEONE who is CRAZY.
People will tell you ALL of the freaking time:
- You can’t succeed because of racism
- You can’t succeed because of sexism
- You’re TOO RACIST to succeed
- You’re TOO SEXIST to succeed
- You’re too BLACK
- You’re too WHITE
- Blah blah blah excuse after freaking damn EXCUSE!
Tune these *people* completely OUT of your life.
Turn OFF the television, turn OFF the network news, turn OFF social media, and just simply FOCUS… on YOU.
Don’t tune BACK IN until you’ve MADE YOUR MARK.
8) Have a nice day.
Because the world is GREAT and EVERYTHING is truly AWESOME and great.
If it isn’t for you, it’s because YOU don’t deserve it and that’s simply that, just don’t ever bring your bad news blues HERE.
Until next time.
Your man,
-Elijah “The Realist”
