In the long run, passivity won't pay off. It never pays off. If you want a life of meaning and transcendence, you're going to have to move.

Aggression doesn't have to be toxic or damaging. Healthy aggression risks.

It builds new things.

It breaks through barriers.

It's the key to living a life that matters.

On Brian Tome, this is the aggressive life.

Music Welcome to the aggressive live.

Hey, this is Brian Tome.

Today we're going to talk about some hyper-important things.

You know, it's one thing to think about aggression in a situation where we

obviously have to have aggression, like you're on a football field or you're in a field hockey

situation where you've got to run for it. You've got to do whatever, whatever. It's one thing

to think about being aggressive when someone has a gun to somebody else's head literally

and you got to be the one to sprint and knock the person down or or I mean we could go through

any number of scenarios where we would all agree and say oh well that in that situation of course

I would be aggressive of course I would go. Of course I would do something beyond it.

The challenge is we tend to think that our normal humdrum lives don't really have opportunities for stepping up and stepping out. We tend to think that, well, I'm just kind of

plotting along in my meager existence that I'm doing right now and doing

the same old, same old, but by golly, someday something will come along that will require me

to really step up and step out and be more aggressive. But until then, I am and insert the normal

job that you may think you have. Or until then, I am an insert single or insert married or insert your medical condition

or whatever excuses we have that we're using to keep us the way we are right now.
