“I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!”
Can this even possibly be a good thing. I’m telling you today, absolutely, YES!
As it applies to your life, there’s a time to take this position. As it applies to your financial position, there’s a time to think this way. As it applies to your business, there’s a time to react like this. As it applies to your overall satisfaction with your circumstances, there’s certainly a time to let this thought reverberate in your mind like a clanging gong!
“I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!”
I certainly don’t want you to shout it TO anyone or AT anyone. I don’t want you to become violent in any way, but I want to tell you it’s perfectly ok to adopt this philosophical approach to championing your success. This will make for a radical turn in not only your thinking but YOUR ACTIONS… and that’s exactly what you want to do — Exactly what you need to do!
If you can associate enough pain with where you are right now, and so much pleasure and joy from your life as you want to design it, you will take the actions necessary to change it.
It takes real thought to make this work. But it is VERY POWERFUL! As Jim Rohn said, “If you will change, everything will change for you.” It’s a simple but powerful truth.
Think long and hard about your life, where you’ve been, where you’re headed. Is this what you envisioned? Is this what you want? If not, then make significant changes in your thoughts and actions to make it different. If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll continue to receive what you’ve been getting. Nothing will change unless you change! So get mad!
Make a decision today! Tell yourself, “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!” And then do whatever it takes to change things.
Here’s the back story and a short video clip from the movie “Network”.
According to Wikipedia:
Howard Beale, the longtime anchor of the UBS Evening News, learns he has just two more weeks on the air because of declining ratings. The following night, he announces on live television that he will commit suicide by shooting himself in the head during next Tuesday’s broadcast.[2] UBS fires him after this incident, but—after some persuasion from UBS News’ old guard president and Beale’s best friend, Max Schumacher—lets him back on the air, ostensibly for a dignified farewell. Beale promises he will apologize for his outburst. However, once on the air, he launches into a rant. Beale’s outburst causes the newscast’s ratings to soar.
Much to Schumacher’s dismay, the upper echelons of UBS decide to exploit Beale’s antics rather than pulling him off the air. In one impassioned diatribe, Beale galvanizes the nation with his rant, “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!” and persuades Americans to shout out their windows during a lightning storm. Soon Beale is hosting a new program called The Howard Beale Show, top-billed as a “mad prophet.” Ultimately, the show becomes the highest rated program on television, and Beale finds new celebrity preaching his angry message in front of a live studio audience that, on cue, chants Beale’s signature catchphrase en masse: “We’re as mad as hell, and we’re not going to take this anymore.”
Hope you enjoy this clip from “Network”
