Fire and Ice

If you ever find yourself shaking with anger. Or so fucking frustrated that you can’t think straight.

You need fire and ice.

I see a lot of people lose their shit when they get frustrated or taken advantage of. And then they do dumb shit. I know because I used to be that guy. And I did a lot of dumb shit.

But if you are like that… you have something powerful that a lot of people don’t have.

Maybe you have a chip on your shoulder. Maybe you have something to prove. Maybe something burns inside you to be great. I know I do.

And now I use it to my advantage.

This kind of internal rage, if channeled  properly can pierce a tunnel through a mountain.

Maybe someone said you couldn’t do it. Maybe your spouse doesn’t believe in you. Maybe your father always thought he knew better. 

Instead of reacting to it. Just bury it within you and use it as fuel. Let it burn.

Don’t respond to insults. Don’t fly off the handle. Don’t defend yourself with words. Channel this energy into action.

You will be amazed at how much you can do with this energy. Probably 5x the average smuck.

You have the fuel. Now you need to remain cold as ice

This is self-control. This is the hardest part because you will have to delay gratification for bigger wins. And you have to be dedicated over months even years to let it play out. You need resolve.

You have to be cold as ice.

The most successful people usually have something to prove and have excellent impulse control.

They have fire and ice.
