Why Being the Underdog is Not So Bad

3 August 2009

You know , I keep hearing people talk about all of this positive thinking poop. Let me tell you this, positive thinking is great but If you’re not careful it can turn into denial really quick.

And no, I am not talking about a river in Egypt, I am talking about when someone stops payment on your reality check.  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all about positive thinking, believe me. Every time my servant is getting ready to leave I get all excited as if I were going with him. Well, those cats in the movie  “The Secret” were a little off about that whole believe and manifest thing because  sometimes I still get left here to chew on my own butt for three hours.

The point is that our negative emotions are not always bad. Especially when someone rejects you or regards you as the underdog, telling you that you can’t accomplish something.

So you get mad and hurt and  tear up their best pair of shoes.

Big deal .  You don’t have to ignore that anger or try to deny it or glaze over it with some positive phony thinking. Just be honest about what is going on and refocus that negativity to fuel your future actions. Hey, if you guys can make poop into fuel than I am sure you can use that anger to fuel some kind of a positive action. Then those who underestimated you can eat their words while you watch and wag your tail.

You know, success is the best revenge anyway.

So don’t mind so much about being the underdog , or even the negativity that comes with it. Put it to good use and soon enough you’ll be the top dog again..

-Yours truly,

The Dog of dogs
