Shame is the Best Motivator

November 14, 2011 By Victor Pride 10 Comments

Shame will light a fire under you better than any desire. It isn't desire that gets someone to train like an animal. It isn't desire that deadlifts 900 lbs. It isn't desire that gets someone in the boxing ring and kills opponents left and right. It is the revenge of shame.

A bully kicked sand in your face.

Everyone laughed at your frail body.

The love of your life cheated on you.

The jock punched you and everyone laughed at you.

Your stepdad beat you up.

Everyone saw you cry.

They showed your cowardice to the world.

You let these things motivate you. You say to yourself “That will never happen again” and you mean it. You mean it every bit as much as you mean to breathe air and eat food.

    Agreed. Unfortunately, all too often people take revenge too far.

      That pus needed a wake-up call and he got it. You’d have to put a bullet in my brain to take my clothes.

          There was a racial riot that was swept under the carpet.

    Is in this kind of things where I see that psychologists are so full of bullshit, they tell you to let go anger, forgive, accept your life and basically stay the same way just thinking differently about the problem (the difference is that they avoid the “stay the same way” words). If Victor had gone to a psychologist, he would’ve told him “you’re skinny, accept yourself that way, love yourself, there’s no need to put on so much muscle, that’s for ego maniacs, etc”, then Victor would have stayed a loser, there would be no B&D, no BoaS, no 30DoD, etc.
