"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.

Better to live fast and die young?

Better to burn out than fade away?

Is it true that it’s not so much the number of breaths you take but rather the number of moments that take your breath away that truly determines whether you have lived your life well?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

All the world's a cliche...

True; though does that render the aforementioned cliché’s redundant or merely highlight the truth within such cliché’s?

Depends on your taste. If you like seeking thrill do that, if you like calming things do that. Do whatever makes you happy. My only sugestion is to go out and try as many things as you can so you can discover what you love.

Move like a bullet.

Smile for the cameras!

You've got to challenge the big ones.
Keep it casual.
Haggle: everything is negotiable.
Have fun working.
Do the right things for the brand.
Don't lead "sheep", herd "cats".
Size does matter.
Be a common, regular person.

Don’t walk around like you own the place, but walk around like you don’t care who does own it.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live.

Polished brass will pass upon more people than rough gold.
