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. Have you ever noticed that when you're doing what everybody else is doing, it's never aggressive?

If you're doing what everybody else is doing, then there's a current that's in culture and in your peer group that's just

sort of carrying you along. It's being passive. It's going to naturally happen. You're going to

naturally graduate from high school because nearly everybody graduates from high school unless you're

in a very impoverished area. It just

sort of naturally happens because your peer group is doing it. But the things that are aggressive

are things that you value that your peer group doesn't value and your peer group isn't doing.

Things that are aggressive are things that are coming from a place of esteem and ascribing worth that other people don't have

esteem in that area and are not ascribing worth.

Whenever you're going to be aggressive, you're going to be accused of being crazy.

You're going to be accused of being financially irresponsible.

You're going to be accused of being financially irresponsible. You're going to be accused of

not protecting your family. You're going to be accused of not taking care of your future, not

being ready for retirement. You're going to be accused of all kinds of things that the passive

people who are going the way of modus operandi status quo the way

they're living their life and they're not living it aggressively they're living it passively
