Winning! That’s what Charlie Sheen is all about, and you can either love him or hate him for it – and that’s where his magic lies. Doesn’t hurt that he’s got tiger blood and Adonis DNA either. Now, I don’t normally write about pop culture and what’s going on in the media, but I came across the infa­mous Charlie Sheen inter­view rant, and instantly respected the man… despite what every media outlet, news­paper, and soccer mom is disgusted about. All they can see is the surface level, literal inter­pre­ta­tion of his words and actions… causing them to make a right­eous judge­ment of a man with “addic­tions”, rather than the epic­ness of his wisdom.

Then there’s the other people who just find it all hilar­ious; and as funny as the things Charlie Sheen says are, there is serious enlight­en­ment and insight behind the “lulz”. He is blunt and offen­sive to the average American because he goes against their grain – their boring, average, dull, sleep of a life – and that’s not even mentioning the crazy porn stars, drugs, and partying. Sure he may have had alcohol/drug issues in his past, sure he might be an arro­gant bastard, and sure he might not even be from this terres­trial realm – but that’s no reason to condemn him for living his life how he wants to… it should actu­ally be the cause for his celebration.

His inter­views have gone viral, along with his catch phrases and slew of new internet memes: because they’re winning, duh. Now initially, as I was watching them myself, I totally was like “this guy is crazy… but damn he’s funny”. Then a few minutes in, he started saying things that were really powerful, like “can’t is the cancer of happen” – whoa.

Maybe there’s some­thing to learn hidden inside all of this…

If you haven’t seen the inter­views, I HIGHLY recom­mend you watch them all, completely. Not only are they the ulti­mate dose of Charlie-Sheen-drug-brilliant-humor, there is a lot to learn from this Vatican Assassin. I have posted links to the videos at the end of this post, so be sure to check them out.

So without any further ado, here’s some of the best learn­ings and insights on how keep winning like Charlie Sheen:

The 37 Ways

1. Can’t is the cancer of happen – Just like Yoda in Star Wars “do or do not, there is no try” and Nike’s slogan “just do it”, Charlie gets that lack of action and fear is a sort of “cancer” to getting things done. Stop the excuses, believe in your­self, and take action. Now.

2. Don’t fall into other’s “boxes” of you – During the GMA inter­view, if you observed the interviewer’s language, you could tell she already had Sheen “sized up” with his issues and consis­tently tried to fit him into her “box” of him. A layman’s psudo-analytical mold of him. Charlie wasn’t having any of it, and neither should you.

3. Turn your “anger” into passion.

4. Other people’s opinion of you, has nothing to do with you — so stop caring.

5. Ask your doctor about diag­nosing you with bi-winning disorder.

6. Don’t allow your­self to be normal­ized or drugged – Charlie knows that phar­ma­ceu­tical drugs and psycho­an­a­lyt­ical “treat­ment” is total nonsense and usually does more harm than good. Stop being numb and deal with your issues instead of taking the easy way out.

7. Stop crying about your past and move forward – Your past is not an excuse for your future, it was what it was. Stop complaining and do some­thing about it.

8. All you need is love… not advice.

9. Live at 1 speed — GO! – Life is short, go big or go home. Live life to it’s fullest.

10. Get a tiger blood trans­fu­sion. Solves all of this easily enough.

11. Dying’s for fools – Know your limits and respect them, but at the same time push your comfort zone.

12. Take a small dose of Charlie Sheen – This is really all you need, but not every­body can handle it. If your face melts off and your chil­dren start weeping, that’s a good sign you can’t. (See point 26 for next best option.)

13. You have the power to cure your­self in a blink – Wisdom! Sheen Machine knows the incred­ible power you have with your mind and that you don’t need to live power­less in the debts of an authority or guru to heal yourself.

14. Party epicly and avoid droopy-eyed armless chil­dren at all costs.

15. Do you best and be proud regard­less of what happens, don’t feel guilt or shame – “I make the deci­sions in the moment and I live with them, good or bad, but they’re mostly good.”

16. Give people the gift of awesomeness.

17. Take respon­si­bility for your­self, and expect others to as well – If some crazy porn star in the room you’re partying at wants to OD on drugs, that’s her issue. It doesn’t mean you don’t help if she needs it or should you encourage her, but she knows what she’s doing as an adult and is respon­sible for her own actions; you’re not her parent. Likewise, nobody else is respon­sible for you either. You should not feel guilty about other people’s actions, or expect others to about yours.

18. Believe in what you think, regard­less of others’ doubts.

19. Marry from the heart, not the law or bible – Join together and love out of love; not laws, tradi­tions, or expec­ta­tions. Don’t let social norms dictate the way you love, and don’t lay contract to ever-changing emotions.

20. Ignore the fools, trolls, and clowns – Haters will hate all day while they sip the hateraide. These people crit­i­cize your action and progress since they don’t have the balls to do it them­selves. Ignore them and take advice from those that care.

21. “You can kill me, but you don’t have the right to judge me.”

22. “Sleep rhymes with sheep” – Funny isn’t it? Charlie knows most people are just spir­i­tu­ally & worldly asleep, like Neo was in The Matrix. Stop being an obedient sheep that behaves and does what it’s told blindly. Wake up and start living!

23. Don’t waste time on nonsense – Stop eating McDonald’s, watching the news, catching up on gossip, working a point­less job, etc and start focusing on things that matter: friends, family, dreams, goals, and true happiness.

23. Live inside the moment in between a moment; that’s where life is.

24. You must love or you must hate, and you must do so violently – Live with passion! Love with passion. I’m not a fan of hating, but if you’re against some­thing, do so with vigor and passion. Mean what you say with zest, and say what you mean.

25. Don’t live in the middle – End the medi­oc­rity — that will kill you. Decide what you want, and pick a side even if you’re alone. Make a stand for what you believe in and don’t be wishy-washy about it. Man up, be the leader, and make decisions.

26. Activate your dormant Adonis DNA (along with point 10)

27. Be special – The media, school systems, corpo­ra­tions, and govern­ment want everyone to be average and elim­i­nate indi­vid­u­ality. This is platonic possum poop. Stand out, be your­self, and express your creativity. Stop being like the masses.

28. Wherever you are, enjoy the view (hope­fully from a private jet with 2 smoooookin hotties)

29. Find heaven in the eyes of your family, and hell in those that try and disrupt that love.

30. Don’t let them extin­guish your pilot light – Keep the fire alive, deep inside your soul. That burning desire for freedom, love, and your mission needs to stay alive through hell and high water; torture and suffering. They may think they’ve won by putting out your roaring bonfire, but a tiny flame will keep bringing it back.

31. Stop qual­i­fying your­self, and let them figure it out – People will judge and jump to conclu­sions regard­less of what you meant. The media always spins things and people gossip, let them. Who cares, you’re focusing on actu­ally doing some­thing with your life, rather than not and just crit­i­cizing some­body else that is.

32. “Step up and change it right now. Look your father in the eye and say you’re wrong, I’m different, I’m better. Watch me.”

33. Don’t sleep; wait.

34. Become free from the opin­ions of others and your­self – STOP caring about what other people think about you.

35. Say awesome things – Let your humor and wisdom always shine through and light up the lives of those around you.

36. Be a total freakin rock­star from Mars.

37. Always look for some­thing to learn in every situation.

Infamous Radio Rant (1^st part of 3): Charlie Sheen Unleashed: I’m Not Taking It Anymore!! 1/3

Well that pretty much sums it up. I know I did a lot of inter­pre­ta­tion and reading between the lines, but I really think that Charlie Sheen knows exactly what I’m talking about. Even if not, I still think these are some pretty powerful ideas to think about. You may agree with some and hate others, and that’s great – do both violently and become a better man.
