I Can't Hold My Tongue Any Longer!

Just got a couple emails from Zach Even-Esh, and he was saying pretty much the exact same thing I was thinking. Enough with these sissies whining and complaining night and day about the economy! Seriously I know its some tough love, but any time I start hearing the victim mentality I know its needed.
How many of those complainers are out there hustling and busting their a$$ to make things happen!? I just got offered a job on the street on my way home a few minutes ago okay, so things can't be that bad.
If anyone remembers the scene from Spaceballs where the guy says "I'm surrounded by assholes!"
That's how I feel right now.

"I'm surrounded by complaining wusses!"

There was a great quote from a recent movie that came out. I forget the name, but Jack Nicholson said it.

"I am not a product of my environment, my environment, is a product of me."

Quiet Desperation

This is a fascinating topic I have been thinking about for a while now, and deliberately getting in touch with. It can be an incredibly powerful and motivating, driving force, or it can be crippling. For most people it brews and bubbles far below the surface, they are rarely conscious of it, and when it does creep into awareness, it is quickly shoved back down. 

I think they key is to recognize those moments when it comes close to the surface. Be on the lookout for it coming, even in the peripheral vision of consciousness, and then focus on it as hard as possible. Feel it. Surrender to it and then erase it.

I'll give a hint; think whenever there is a cold silence between people.
