SHARPENING THE EDGES WITH ANGER

HAVING CONTROL OF OUR EMOTIONS on race day doesn't mean just playing it cool. Some emotions are better than others...

... for those who know how to harness them.

Like anger.

I'm not ashamed to admit, below that happy go lucky, come what may demeanor...

... is one hacked off dude.

If I have to/I've been known to... 

... conjure up the most heinous reasons to crush the least deserving, most innocent competitors on the line.

Don't worry,
they never know.

Anger works for me.

I had a business partner say...

... you're so mellow

and

... dude, you have authority issues

... during the same meeting!

lol

Here's the real dill.

When I was younger it was uncontrollable and cost me a lot of points on the tennis court and life in general.

These days, if I'm rejected, disrespected, doubted, stomped on...

... that rocket flame of anger is powerful stuff.

Suddenly, I have this amazing laser focus combined with get outta my way energy.

I love that.

• heck no I don't want cookies
• heck yes I'm doing that work out
• heck no I'm not staying out late
• heck yes I need that upgrade
  

It's way better if I can get it going months, sometimes years in advance, but...

... making it up on the start line is a great way to lock in and race.

You might be askin' What the heck is wrong with you Diesel?...

... let's just say getting rejected on a home we were trying to buy has me pouring jet fuel on PEDAL industries.

Yeah,
harnessed anger is lit.
