A New Villain In Town?

Man, my villain story is going to be one for the books! 

Without a doubt. Mark my words, everybody. 😈 

Last week, I spoke about how pain is not only essential for one's future success and triumph, but it is completely inevitable. 

Everybody gets hurt, right? Everybody experiences painful moments, right? 

That’s right. 

I truly think that one of the best things that you can do for yourself and your overall well being is what most men on this planet, worldwide, must do… 

And that is to learn how to accept reality for what it really is and learn how to accept it in a heartbeat. 

This world is one crazy place!

This world is one cold f**king place, too. It really is. 

It’s far colder than Alberta is in January, I’ll tell you that much.  

And if you don’t already know this, then I advise that you learn this immediately. 

In the past year, I have learned so much about everything across the board.

About myself, about the real world and about the people who I bump elbows with and hold human interactions with on a daily basis.

One key piece of information that I have been equipped with over the last 366 days is this… 

‘Nothing Worth Having In This Life Is Going To Be Easy To Obtain, Nor Should It Be Easy.’ 

I agree. 

Think of any valuable possessions that you’d like to have in the future. 

It could be anything, such as a brand new Bentley, a lovely bungalow on a beautiful piece of land, stretching for miles of acres or it could be that amazing, luxury navy blue suit from Indochino that you always wanted. 

Whatever you may want and whatever you just thought about is not going to be easy to obtain, by any means, because if it truly was, then you would have it in your possession right now, don’t you think? 

I think so. 

I also think that if it was easy, I’d have an entire closet full of luxury Indochino suits, truthfully. 

But it’s not. 

The day you decide to look yourself in the mirror and make an oath to yourself that you are never going to settle for average and do everything in your power to work to become a walking success story is also the day that you decide to accept everything that comes along the journey of becoming a successful being. 

Hardships, let downs, uncertainty, discomfort… 

Late nights, early mornings, long days, busy days… 

You must accept it for what it is if prosperity and freedom is what you truly want. 

And should you choose to accept all of these things, then simultaneously, you choose to accept the pain that comes with taking this journey. 

And that’s what is inevitable about the process of becoming an outstanding individual; the pain. 

The way that you choose to use the pain that you experience in your life could honestly make or break you. 

I can guarantee that close to half of the people who are locked up in some of the worst jails and prisons out there made the decision to use the pain that they experienced for the worst. 

I guarantee it. 

But it’s just that; a decision.

And every single day that we get the privilege of waking up in the morning to see the light of a new day, we get 2 things… 

And that is A Chance and A Choice.

We can all choose to use our pain for the better, and I think that we should. 

For both ourselves and for the communities that we live in and serve.

Make like a loonie, make like a toonie, and change. Today. 

I hope you all think that this email was at least decent.  

Hopefully. 

Anyways, that’s it from me. 

Take care everybody and I’ll be back in your inbox on Monday.
