Never stop
"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.
Never another woman for you

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

If you want to play pick up...just lift light and cut, do more sprints and cardio.
The reason I say never stop is because muscular atrophy is the major cause of injury in those of retirement age. Bones lose density and the frame has no elasticity or shock absorption. The longer you can hold that at bay the better the quality of life.
my Dad is 76 a former Olympic coach. Never stopped lifting. He swims, jogs, climbs mountains. Plays ice curling.We did a 21 mile hike in February in the snow.
make adjustments to your training protocol. Hell just switch to calesthenics.. but don’t stop.
that’s my advice anyway. Also they say that as a man’s testosterone drops the balls he plays with get smaller. You will be flicking marbles next.

I would live in a beach town in Thailand or maybe Florida.
Focus more on my Christian faith, volunteer and help people on my spare time.
I would make a ton of of platonic friends to hang out with.
Work more on my hobbies, hone my guitar skills and maybe play a couple of gigs.
Career wise, finally finish my bachelors degree and maybe get a part time job I enjoy while at it.
Oh yeah, continue working out, lifting weights, calisthenics etc.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
