Listen to me: Whatever it takes and whatever price you have to pay, you must purposely drain yourself of any vestige of hope if, that is if, you are truly serious about courting disaster.  Don?t even think about getting your expectations up for positive change.  Hope is too promising, too provisional and too transformative to be entertained even for a moment if failure is what you?re pursuing.  Understand the following, or you will not move down the dead end road to disaster:

1. Hope brings faith.
2. Faith spawns an indomitable spirit.
3. This indomitable spirit is the precursor to the prosperity you?re trying to avoid.

Therefore, to evade any possible blessing, you must create an atmosphere of anxiety which will birth defeat, which in turn will crush your spirit, which will in turn ensure tragedy.  And that?s what you want, right?  Tragedy?

Lastly, one of the cool things about hopelessness is the spin off fruit of sloth that it yields.  What a beautiful, little additional nugget sloth is to The Disaster Master Mind?s© debilitating battery.  Classically, slothfulness was defined as the by-product of despondency.  It was not simply someone being lazy for laziness? sake, but a sign, a manifestation, that despair was ruling that someone?s roost and that?s why he moved like a sea cow on psyhcotropes. 

Yeah, as optimism is drained from your heart and mind, all your desires to get up off your butt and get busy are snuffed.  Sloth is awesome in how it extinguishes viability once you have decided to give up.  Think about it.  How many dejected and lazy, miserable and apathetic, depressed and passive people do you know who are full of verve [which is a must for success]?  Once you embrace hopelessness, it will begin to quench all the necessary, positive attitudes and actions that achievers demand, and it will set you free to be the train wreck we all know you can be.
