When raw, unbridled emotions are channeled into a controlled action, that action becomes unstoppable. Testosterone builds nations. Testosterone physically manifests itself by aggression. Aggression is anger under focused control.
“Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger”.
Ephesians 4:26
Aggression is an internal energy source that, if used properly, should be invisible to others. You aren’t getting in people’s faces and screaming, instead you are driven in your work and in navigating social circumstances. Train the body with aggression. You resist temptation with aggression aimed at the vile schemes of your demon. You build your relationships with aggression pointed at your own mediocrity. Controlled Aggression is the edge that puts you slightly ahead of the competition.
Aggression is different from anger in that it has something to aim at, while anger can be random and used blindly. A forest fire is uncontrolled and destroys everything in its path until stopped, while a blowtorch is a tool for building items of value. Both forest fires and blow torches use fire, the difference is that the blowtorch is highly controlled and its energy is concentrated into a single point.
Anger and aggression are both tools that are highly interrelated, but for focused work you need an emotion that is not overbearing or difficult to control, and aggression is that emotion.
The weak men of the Church have spoken against aggression for years now.
They have all the intestinal fortitude of a castrated rabbit, and they expect you to be the same.
The results of the lack of proficiently channeled aggression is found sitting in the pews of the Church. Lack of aggression makes males fundamentally effeminate and therefore unable to attract high quality mates or contribute to society.
Aggression is not unbound or arbitrarily aimed. It is a focused and controlled energy that can help you earn the life you want.
The pain of physical training can be overridden with aggression.
The monotony of your job can be removed through aggression.
Use this masculine tool, this Gift of God, to your advantage, and bend the world to your will.
Mantra
I am aggressive. I destroy tasks and objectives with ease.
Application
Feeling the boredom in your cubicle? Think about all the time you are wasting there. Focus on what you would rather do, what you want to spend your life doing. Think about that and then get aggressive enough to outperform everyone else, make the money you want and get out of the office for good.
Concentrate your aggression and use it to earn what you want in life. Do not be afraid of aggression, it is a powerful tool that can be used to build anything you want. Ignore everything the men in your Church have to say about aggression. They wouldn’t know aggression if it swung an ax at them.
KEY: Men in the Church fear aggression because aggression is a byproduct of testosterone which is produced in the testicles which are the main items that men in the Church do not have. They are ashamed, afraid and embarrassed about their emasculation so they have to demonize every expression of aggression that they see. They will complain about aggression until they need the help of police or the protection of the military who routinely use aggression to crush evil.
One of the best applications of aggression is to use it to overcome fear or discomfort. Again, the best way to start learning how to use the “hot emotions” is to use them on something physical like your physical training before moving on to something that needs better control, such as applying aggression to intellectual work or building businesses.
By this time you should already be training the physical body on most, but preferably all days of the week. Applied aggression will allow you to push the envelope in your training.
If you are performing squats with a certain weight and aiming for 15 repetitions, the first 8 may be easy before the physical pain begins to come into your mind and body. When the pain arrives, this is where you want to call upon aggression. All those dark thoughts you have as a man and violent tendencies can be directed into your training.
Get Angry, or rather express the anger that already lives inside of you. Force yourself to concentrate on expressing your anger in a controlled way, without allowing your body mechanics to break down.
Do not call on aggression for the first few repetitions, you will need that energy later.
Avoid getting overly “Hyped”, or you will lose control of yourself during the exercise and fail to perform it properly. The first repetitions should be totally in your control and you should have perfect form in completing them so that when you get to the final, aggressive reps, you are already performing perfect reps.
Using aggression can apply to team sports as well, just remember the guiding principle:
Do not call upon aggression until you experience pain and difficulty.
Do not mindlessly apply aggression 100% of the time, that is not productive because you lose the ability to be rational and you will run out of aggression. Applying your aggression to some physical endeavor is extremely therapeutic.
Once you have mastered applying aggression to physical outlets, you can move on to endeavors that are more difficult. It is harder to use aggression for study or business, but it can be done.
For study you have a few options:
- Use aggression towards classmates or competitors in the same way that you use aggression towards opposing players on sports teams. You are not trying to express violence towards them, but instead you are cultivating a desire to outperform them.
- Become angry with your mediocrity. Become as aware as possible of the depth of your ignorance. The thought of how little you know about anything and everything in the world should begin to stir up some disappointment in who you are and how immature your way of thinking is. Do not let the disappointment last, instead convert it to aggression. Become angry at your ignorance and destroy it by acquiring more knowledge.
- Increase endurance in study by properly using aggression. In the same basic way that you apply aggression in your physical training, you must also apply it in study. After a certain amount of time spent learning, you naturally begin to tire. You decide that it is time for a break or that you can learn no more for the day, but the mind is much more resilient than that.
Instead of retiring for the day, take the break you were intending to take instead. During your break you must fuel your mind with aggression and aggressive thoughts. Take a walk and think about being victorious and about gaining knowledge. Remember that only the weak make excuses. Become disgusted with your desire for rest because it is a desire of weakness. Become disgusted with those around you who have fallen victim to the excuses they make in their minds and have failed on themselves as a result. Your cultivated aggression should stir up “hot emotions” and thoughts that override your desire for rest. You catch a second wind and can start working again.
For Business:
- Become fueled by a desire to destroy your competitors. Business is war, and you must be willing to engage in warlike behavior in order to win. This does not differ all the way from the large business owner to the small “mail-room worker”. All working individuals need an aggressive drive that pushes them to be more.
Men are constantly competing over resources and women, you can put yourself ahead of the pack if you learn to concentrate aggression into your work. This will allow you to work harder and longer than anyone else. When you are working and you begin to fatigue, you must think of the enemy: he is working, training and preparing. And if you do not work, train and prepare more than he does then he will kill you.
You must think these warlike thoughts. Override your fatigue with aggression.
Obviously there can be several additional examples of applying aggression in study or business, but these should suffice to get your mind working in the right direction. From these basic four tactics, you can build your own tactics and ways to productively use your God-given aggression.
Conduct yourselves like men.
