"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.

"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.

Now don't get me wrong, not EVERYBODY looked "thrown away", but so few of them looked GOOD that the ones who WERE in shape looked GREAT by comparison. It was a very strange situation: Here I was with people I went to school with who were in their early 40's too, and all I could think about was how "old" THEY looked to ME. LOL
Hahaha... my 10th reunion is coming up and there was already the 5, which i skipped.. but i did see pictures of it, and pretty much everybody has completely fallen apart... AT THE 5 YEAR!!! What the hell did they do to themselves in college!?

Then there's the "blah blah HS class of 1998" myspace page with a bunch of my classmates on there as friends. Ugh. They're getting even worse. Cheerleaders that were smokin are hideous now! I understand you can't maintain a 16 year old body forever, but they're only 27 now. They should still be pretty if they weren't weak on the inside.

One thing i did notice is that a lot of girls are married and a lot of the guys are single. I also noticed the women all moved away, but a bunch of the guys never went anywhere.
