"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.

Those of you lucky enough to be fans of college football know this story first hand. It was 4th and 1 Florida was down 31-30 all they had to do was convert 1 yard to keep Tim Tebow’s goal of going undefeated alive. Unfortunately, they were stopped. The Florida Gators lost the game. They would not go undefeated for the first time in their history which was their goal that they set in the beginning of the season. After the game, Tim Tebow took the podium. Usually, in his post game press conferences, he was very cheery and soft spoken, even hard to hear sometimes. But not this time. This time he bent down and spoke into the mic with watery eyes and spoke thunderously and clearly.

"To the fans and everybody in Gator Nation, um, you know what, I’m sorry, But I promise you one thing. A lot of good will come out of this. You have never seen any player in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of this season, and you'll never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of this season. And you'll never see a team play harder than we will the rest of this season. God bless."

He then stormed off the podium. Florida went on to win the next ten games, including the National Championship. Tebow was named MVP.

There is one thing that seperates winners and losers. When you focus on it everything else comes naturally and falls into place naturally. Hard work. The winner is always the one that worked harder than his opponent. In the game of life, if you want to be better than the next guy, it all boils down to how much harder you worked than him.

Listen to your gut. Your gut will tell YOU what YOU want, it’s automatic. All you have to do is focus on working harder and harder and you will quickly look at your life and go.. holy **** look what I’ve accomplished.

This means instead of watching TV, you go out in public and practice your approaches. Who cares if you embarrass yourself, when it’s all said and done it’s the work that you put in that will separate you from the thousands of guys on this site and millions on earth that don’t approach. It means you constantly work to improve your career. Instead of eating pizza you hit the gym. You work hard to improve your social life and enjoy your life more.

You may not be the tallest or the best looking. You may not be born into the wealthiest of situations. You may have never kissed a girl before. I challenge you for one day to just focus on working hard and ask yourself how you feel about your life at the end of it.


“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” -Tim Tebow

While the Tebow quote is great, it's also missing a piece of the puzzle: talent which works hard. That will ALWAYS win even if you work your ass off.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't work your ass off. All you can do is your best, and you'll never know what that is if you settle for a certain level of performance. No, instead you just keep working hard and push your limits a bit at a time. We're all given a certain amount of potential yet hardly anyone ever lives up to it. Even if your potential isn't that great, if you work your ass off, you'll get very far when compared to most people and that's worth it. Like the OP said, you can look back and be like, "Damn, look how far I got."

Think of it this way, I have absolutely 0 athletic talent. I could never play at the level of Florida. Yet, if football happened to be something I enjoyed playing, then **** it, I'll work my ass off and see how far I can make it.
