"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.

In lieu of the previous post about cheating and infidelity, I got into a conversation that entailed how some compared monogamy to religion. That there is no such thing and that EVERYBODY cheats at least once in their life. That monogamy is only something people pretend to do. And those that continued with the married life WILL inevitably stray.

That, like religion, that it's something we pretend is real and cling to out of fear, but the reality is that it is fantasy.

Now, I wouldn't go as far as to say it's fantasy, but its viewpoints like this is really spoken out of bitterness and had joined the "If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em"

Thoughts on this?
 

"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.
