A Valuable Lesson from “Britain’s Most Notorious Prisoner”

“Cut it off”

The photo above is actually the actor, Tom Hardy.

It’s from the 2008 film, Bronson, based on the life of British celebrity criminal, Charles Bronson (now known as Charles Salvador)— one of the most dangerous but also most colorful criminals you’ll come across.

He is so dangerous in fact, that he’s been dubbed “Britain’s most notorious prisoner” and “most violent prisoner in Britain.”

While I don’t condone or glorify the actions of a violent offender, I will take good advice from whomever is offering.

To quote Seneca:

“I shall never be ashamed of citing a bad author if the line is good.” — Seneca

So with that, I invite you to watch this brief clip of Tom recalling a phone call with Charles.

NOTE: Salty language abounds.

Cut It Off

“Sometimes you gotta cut a little piece of yourself off— no matter how much it hurts — in order to grow; in order to move on.” — Charles Bronson

Overthinking?

Heartache over a breakup?

An unhappy marriage?

A family member holding you back?

A friend who brings you down?

Sunk cost?

A job that is killing you inside?

A meeting that is wasting your day?

A bad habit?

A self-identity that no longer serves you?

If you find that it can’t be remedied no matter what you try, then it may be time to “cut it off.”

And if you’re feeling indecisive and anxious about cutting it off, then this post can help.
