Get De-Motivated.

I think the world has enough motivational speakers. That's not to say that we as a whole are not in desperate need of motivating, it's just that I think it's time that we subscribe to a new philosophy of getting people to do things. And to accomplish this, a new breed of speaker must be born.

That breed? The De-motivational speaker. No, really. I think we have come to the point where all of the positive talk is doing more harm than good. It's putting our self expectation at an all time high and our self judgement, and loathing, are following suite.

I'll be honest, I think we need more iconic figures telling us things like, "look, you probably don't have it in you anyway, so why try huh?" or, "Why bother trying to change anything about yourself? You're going to end up crying, eating or drinking more than you should again, and telling yourself 'see? I knew you wouldn't stick with it'".

I personally find it more motivating when someone says I "can't", or heaven forbid, I "shouldn't" do something. Nothing gets me more fired up and ready for action than someone's attempt to de-motivate me. It's that "I'll prove you wrong, you'll see" side of people that I think needs to be punched square in the face.

So for anyone out there that may feel the same way as I do and thinks they can do something to help. There's probably someone else that would be better at it, so don't even try, we'll all just end up laughing at you. You silly douche.
