Shame is the Best Motivator

Shame will light a direct fire under your ass better than any OTHER type of desire.

It isn’t desire… that gets someone to ALWAYS train like an animal.

It isn’t desire that allows someone to dead-lift 900 fucking lbs.

It isn’t desire that gets someone in the boxing ring and KILLS opponents both left and right. 

It is THE… revenge of shame.

A bully kicked sand in your face.

Everyone laughed at your skinny frail body.

You just NOW found out that the “love of your life” cheated on you.

The jock punched you and everyone laughed at you… and EVERYONE saw you cry and immediately become depressed.

Your stepdad beat you up.

Everyone saw your attempt at learning how to skateboard and fall… flat on your face.

They showed your whole ENTIRE cowardice to the world.

You let these things motivate you.

You say to yourself “That will NEVER ever happen again” and you REALLY actually mean it.

You mean it every bit as much as you mean to breathe air, eat food, or drink some water.

Until next time.

Your man,
