"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 see people who appear to be smiling all the time.. i went through about a month of doing this as well. But lately i've had a bit of a harder time and i just can't express my happy side so much.

I don't want to appear miserable and want to get the smile back. Has anyone got any tips.. beyond 'just be happy'? I'd imagine it's also down to chemicals in the brain.. any diet/supplement tips?

Cheers people.
 

"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.

Fast forward 50-60 years, you are on your deathbed. You have never had a stronger desire to go back in time to this period. Those were the best years of your life.

You know what? I am giving you this opportunity right now. I have made you travel back in time. Everything is so great now; walking across the street, saying hello to people, having fun. It's impossible not to smile during these very great years

Do this tonight:

1) write down who your favorite comedians are.

2) download their shows (audio or video)

3) Put them on your mp3 player, Ipod or what ever you have.

4) Listen to them.

"The contagious laugh"
When something funny happens, laugh. But laugh a bit to yourself after it happens.
It works even better if the girl did something that's not really funny, because it shows that she amuses you.

She tries to twist a cap on a bottle and fails cause it's not on straight.
*laugh* oh man... *laugh...*
She'll be like "what!" and all blushing and embarrassed and will probably laugh herself.

As I've gotten more mature, I smile less. It's about mindset. Smiling is a product of nervousness, more often than not. I still smile/laugh A LOT while with friends.
