"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.

Like the title says I need help choosing a name for a blog I want to start. It is going to be a personal development blog. I wanted to start a blog for a two reasons, one I could work on my writing, and two hopefully I could look at the earlier posts to see my development. I'm planning on using the blog as a personal journal. The only problem is I can't think of a name. I was thinking of using "The Odyssey" as a name for my blog, but I feel its just cliche. If anyone could help me think of a name I would appreciate it.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Thank you!
Thanks for the idea just registered it as a domain. Once it is up and running and I have a few posts I will send you a link. Thanks a million for the name I really liked it. Ohh another reason I really loved it is because my three initials make JET not joke. Divine intervention :crackup:
 

"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.

Why do you put your journal on a blog? I'm not dissing you, I'm interested.
Do other people have access to them and comment?
Do you want people reading it?
Would it make it easy for somone to look you up and exploit you.

I am not offended or anything by your question and I'm glad you are interested so I will try my best to answer all of your questions.

I haven't started it yet, but I have been planning it. I have bought the domain name for it, and have been in the planning stages so far. I hope to have the blog up in a week or so. The blog is more like me putting out my plans for my goals and showing my progress towards them. One thing I want to become is an author this is a way for me to help that goal. My idea for this blog is for me to put out all my plans, actions, etc... for achieving the many goals I have set for myself. This way it would be an easy way to track my progress towards all the goals. In a way I'm trying to show other people that with some hard work and persistence they can achieve their own goals. Since I have found this site, and other sites like this I have been on a journey of self improvement. If I am honest with myself I have realized that I wasted 19 years of life. I mean I am 5'10" tall and weigh 260 lbs. All my life I have been a lazy fat slob living a life with no real meaning or purpose. The hardest part in all of this is that over the years I built up a ton of self limiting beliefs. I now have to learn and incorporate new beliefs and take down all of my limiting beliefs. Over the last year I worked on these beliefs, and have made what I feel as significant strides in overcoming them.

I'm slowly realizing that I can be much more than I am now. That I have much more potential than I ever realized. I feel as though I wasted the many opportunities that were presented to me over the years. All these goals that I have written are one part of my journal. I write some more personal things on my journal, but I have not decided whether or not I would post them. If anything interesting that I write in my journal I will most likely post it. I am going to let people post their comments etc on my blog, and they can read any of my post if they choose so. I have put a lot of thought on your last question. My answer is this anything I put on my blog I will not be ashamed of period. I will in all likelihood put up some personal things, but I will never be ashamed of anything I put up. I know I will be putting myself out there for heavy criticism, but at this point I don't care I am going to do what I want to do. This blog is going to be my journey as I achieve my many goals.

How about "Sojourn"?


It sounds like it would be appropriate.


Cheers!
