Learn To Harness Your Dark Side

Learn to harness your ‘dark side’…
We all know the good traits:
- honour
- respect
- love
- empathy
- loyalty
But what about your dark side? It’s just as much a part of you as the light.
Some of the most successful people in the world exhibit traits which – taken out of context – you would probably be terrified of.
But when combined – the dark and the light – and embracing both for what they are, you can truly unleash your full potential.
I know I am a good person.
I’m also honest
I am loyal
I look after those close to me
But I know that I have a side that – without those gold traits to balance me out would make me a horrible fuck.
🙂
But the thing is?
I have learned how to harness them.
- Spite
- Wrath
- Rage
- Fury
- Vengeance
All of those have – in the right amount – created GOOD things that have helped THOUSANDS of people
BUT, the key is knowing when and how to unleash them…
There are people far more qualified than me – but since I helped revive my sister when I was a little boy?
When situations become overly emotionally stressful of heightened?
When someone I trust fucks me over?
I get cold, hard, emotionless focus.
Hence, I am able to do what I do every day because when my back is against the wall I rise to it, just like I had to the last few weeks
When I end up in the middle of a horrible, stressful day, I know how to leverage ‘that’ side of me.
I am cool as a cucumber.
That negative (if thats the right word) feeling – i often discuss with a close confident, or have some time alone
and turn that into action
As a rule a big ‘fuck you’ to whatever or whoever triggered it; but I keep that inside
Just for me
as MY fuel
Part of the reason I have grown so much as a person over the last few years is that I have learn to love my good qualities and accept and leverage my bad ones.
My question to you, is do you?
And if not? What scares you about leveraging the side that – lets be honest – we all have….

PS a little tip; some of the most sweet, kind, loving people- when pushed – can unleash a torrent of hell
my advice? Be nice to the quiet ones… 😉
Oh and the hairy over-testosterone angry beasts…ha
