The Man in the Mercedes: Using Negative Emotions to Unlock Motivation
Was he right? Would I never be able to afford a Mercedes?
These negative emotions fueled me for years to come. I didn’t want this douchebag to be right.
I would try to prove him wrong.
You Can Use Shame As Motivation to Improve Yourself
Let me make one thing loud and clear. You should not let those who do not matter to you make you feel shame.
But, that doesn’t mean they’re wrong.
Chances are if what they are shaming you for, makes that shame real, it is because you already had that shame inside of you.
So! You’ve Greatly Underestimated Yourself… Again
Humans have a bad habit of poorly estimating what they can accomplish when they dedicate themself to a mission. This comes from a lack of confidence, self-awareness and focus.
On top of that, being in the wrong environment doesn’t help either!
