"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.

I frequently have dreams of being in fights and when I'm striking my adversary, I'm sort of holding back, like I can't really give it real force.

I notice that this translates in real life to my golf game. I am aware that I hold back as I drive the ball off the tee.

I've been dreaming this all my life and I've always wondered why.

Would you guys really be able to jab someone in the eyes with full force in a real-life situation? Man, it's hard for me to imagine doing that.

Feel free to interpret my dream. I can take it.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

It's much harder to hit someone full force in a random fight than when you're actually focused on it, like in a boxing match. For me at least, but I haven't gotten into any fights for over 5 years aside from some sparring with gloves.
