Get Mad to Get Better

We've all been there before. You're trying your hardest, putting in the extra hours, and doing everything you can think of to improve. But no matter how much you try, you just can't seem to get any better. Your performance stays the same, or maybe even gets worse.

What's the answer? In short, you need to get mad.

That's right, I said it. You need to get mad. You need to be so frustrated with your current level of performance that you're willing to do whatever it takes to get better. That means pushing yourself harder than you ever have before, trying new things, and (perhaps most importantly) making mistakes.

Yes, making mistakes is a necessary part of the process. If you're not making mistakes, that means you're not pushing yourself hard enough. So don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid of staying stuck where you are.

How to Get Mad

The first step is identifying what exactly it is that you're unhappy with. What is it about your current level of performance that frustrates you? Once you know what it is, use that frustration to motivate yourself. Remember why you started down this path in the first place, and let that be your driving force as you push forward.

It's also important to set realistic goals. You're not going to go from being a sub-par performer to a world-class athlete overnight. But if you set smaller goals that are achievable, you'll start seeing progress which will in turn motivate you even more.

And finally, don't be afraid to ask for help. Whether it's hiring a coach or taking a class, getting outside perspectives can be invaluable in helping you identify areas where you need improvement as well as giving you some direction on how to go about fixing them.

If you're stuck at a plateau in your performance, getting mad might just be the answer. Use your frustration to push yourself harder than ever before, set realistic goals that challenge but don't overwhelm you, and don't be afraid to ask for help when needed. With a little bit of effort and determination, you'll be on your way to reaching new levels of success!
