"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.

Which are some movies that kick you into gear to get better and pursue all of your goals?

I'll start with three of them:

Zorba the Greek
There are moments throughout the movie when you want to hate on Zorba, but his contagious passion for life ultimately wins you over and overshadows any flaws he may have.
You end up loving Zorba and loving life.


The Bucket List
When this movie ends you are guaranteed to at least ponder about what you want to achieve and what really matters to you.


Fight Club
A classic that many of you have seen. This movie makes you aware of all the stupid sh!t that gets us sidetracked in life. Some may find it hard to watch, but I believe that it's worth it.


Please continue the list in a similar fashion.
Thanks!
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I might come back to add some movies (since that's what you asked for haha) but the first thing that came to mind for me is the show Entourage. Nothing else makes me want to succeed more than seeing how they live on that show.

the pursuit of happyness.

I watched that when i had no home and was crashing at friends places. I remember at that time a peanut butter sandwich was to me a 5 star meal. I always thought i understood hunger and hardwork but when i i really was poor and hungry you learn so much more.

This is one movie that teaches you to believe in yourself, rely on yourself, and persevere through all the bullsh1t life throws at you because in the end, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

'Shutter island' if you look at the bigger picture other people could perceive you in a diferent then the way that you perceive your self without knowing it.

"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.
