"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Today has been very difficult to me, i struggle to accomplish my daily tasks, i feel this day getting away from my hands as the clock ticks his way through time. Upon reflecting my situation, a thought came to mind:

"There is no competition with others individuals, in the end, it is only you against yourself, as day passes by and you achieve your small goals, you build the road to the big goals. When you conquer yourself, you've conquered life, you've conquered the world, success then do not lay on wealth or acquisitions, success is conquerind your mind to do what you want! Not what your vices want, not what others want, success is all about being able to do what YOU want, anytime, anywhere."

Always remember, out there, in the dark, in the woods, in the ocean, in the city, there is a CHALLENGE just waiting to be CONQUERED BY YOU.

Rise up, maintain posture, the world is yours to take, go and do it.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Various agendas exist to diminish and weaken your resolve, to squeeze you down, to kill your vision, to eliminate your imagination and dreams, so that you may serve, selflessly and without thought or hesitation.

I'll take this a step further; due to our own Ego, we often misconstrue what failure and success really are, in that, you learn practically nothing from being successful, meanwhile, failure becomes the teacher. Those who are entrenched in chasing success, they are also entrenched in a failure to grow and as a result, their success is doomed to be finite.

Im the only guy I've ever met who actively seeks failure out, shrugs off success and has largely abandoned the idea of celebrating my success, instead, I celebrate my failures and know that there is still much to learn through faucet that my life flows through.

Furthermore, if anyone's name other than yours comes up as a reason to justify failure, this is the cardinal sin. Take responsibility and leave all unnamed except in dire situations.

I do not celebrate failures and i do not seek them, but i do recognize them as a opportunity to grow. I see your mindset as a single word, humble. Life has many lessons for each one of us, and you seem to be willing to milk each one of them.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
