"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Alright, so I just got a part-time job at the gym I work out at. Anyways, there's this girl that works there that looks pretty damn good, and I had noticed her before I got the job there.

So, the second night I work there, it's her that I'm relieving and she's just like "is there anything you don't know that I can help you with?" I'm like "no, I think I'm good." She says "well if you have any questions you can call my cell phone, the number's in the office." (she showed me, but she was just helping me out and being cool)

Anyways, I go into work out tonight and it's her that's working and we said what's up when I came in, but it was kinda wierd so I went up to her on my way out after lifting and she was counting money for the close out. I couldn't think of an excuse to talk to her, but I went over to the front desk and it went like this...

Me: Hey do we get paid Monday? (knowing all along we do)

Her: Yeah, since tomorrow's Sunday, yeah it'll be Monday.

Me: Cool, don't we get paid on the 5th and 20th?

Her: Yeah, I wish...(something but I wasn't really paying attention)

Me: (start to lean up against the counter) So you like working up here or what?

Her: yeah, I've been working here for a year and a half, but took a break for a while. How bout you?

Me: Yeah, only worked here for a few nights, but it's cool, easy etc...but i bet it gets pretty hectic during the day huh?

Her: Yeah(then somebody comes to check in, but she's counting money, so I'm like "I got it" and check him in)

Me: (since i see she's busy and it's kinda awkward I'm like) well, i'm gonna get outta here, I'll see you later(I kinda tap her shoulder in a friendly see ya sorta way)

Her: (pause cause she's counting money) bye

I know I'm probably gonna get laughed at for this, but this doesn't sound too bad does it? I don't know why I always over-think things like this.haha
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
