"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 don't know this guy personally, but he lives near me, and we know some of the same people.

Knuckle Junkies just wrote an article about him that is a good read. I like the part where he mentions the other patients he meets at chemo. It's easy to feel sorry for yourself, until you meet a little kid with a brain tumor, and that will give a new perspective to anyone, no matter how bad your luck seems.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Updates from facebook - AJ ended his chemo four weeks ago. The doctors told him his health would take a while to recover, and he would certainly never fight again. He nodded his head in agreement, and then went straight to the gym to get back to training. He competed in a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament this past weekend and took third in the blue belt division. He won two matches and lost one. He's p!ssed that he didn't do better. His motivation and attitude are very impressive to me.
