Aggression is one of the last dirty words in our culture.

You can be crass, you can be rude, you can even be profane, but, oh,

aggressive, don't be aggressive, except it's wrong, dead wrong.

I promise you nothing of meaning and transcendence will come into your life passively.

It's time for you to get into the arena to push back against a passive, mediocre existence.

I'm Brian Toam.

This is the aggressive life. Today, we're going to get a bit aggressive and specifically physically aggressive.

Hardwired into all of us is the desire for ease and comfort i like it i'm all pro ease

i'm pro comfort i'm pro air conditioning i'm pro automatic seats in my vehicle i'm pro remote controls

nothing nothing wrong with all those conveniences but we have to remember that the thing that's in front of us that is going to be difficult,

that's the thing in front of us that is going to build our future and going to build our lives.

And we all know many, many people in situations where because they didn't want to do something tough and maybe painful, their life completely stalled out.

I'm not really interested in convincing you to do aggressive, crazy things that's going to give you an adrenaline spike in the here and now.

I'm interested in encouraging you to do things that could

be painful things, but if your life does not go forward, that pain will far, far exceed the pain

that you may find from short-term falling on your rear end and breaking your arm.

I've broken my arm twice on a bicycle. I've broken my finger another time on a bicycle.

And I'm not swearing off bicycles. I've had three injuries. I am pro bicycles.

They were good for my balance.

They enabled me to play.

I am good, good, good, good.

Why is it that we are so afraid of pain and so afraid of broken bones and so afraid of stitches?
