"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.

get out and travel HEAPS and meet lots of cool people and then come back with a better perspective on what you want to do with your life
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yes, I've always wanted to be a film producer. I have so many great ideas and scripts for films, but the industry is ridiculously hard to break into and my dad already tried doing that he's now single and lives in an apartment and doesn't make a lot of money. I don't know the first thing about how I would even go about getting into the industry or submitting my work to Hollywood or something. It's kind of overwhelming.
Ya know, I'm actually in the industry as an actor. You're right, it is really hard to break into the scene, but if that's your passion i say go for it. I'm just barely getting into it as well, and let me tell you there are so many people doing the same thing; the competition is fierce. But i mean what's the point of doing something if you're not passionate about it, right? Do what makes you happy man.

I'm an artist myself trying to break into the film and video game industry. But I want to use art to benefit others, not just entertain them. I've been thinking about this for a while and lately I've been realizing that I need to take the focus off of myself and put it on others.

If you don't believe me, go out and ask someone how their day is going so far. They brighten up. It's crazy. Go to someone who looks like they could use money and give em a 20 and watch their face grow in shock.

Now I'm not saying go and devote your life to giving all the time. I'm just saying take that into consideration when you fnd out what you want to do. Yove already acheived something great in your search for becoming better with women. Now give that back to others. You don't have o train people
on being a DJ or anything. You can use it in your writing. You can give through your passion. You will feel more fulfilled.

Hoped this helped and good luck.
