"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.

Ya know. I think I am an attractive person.

I like what i see in the mirror and in photos. However, the other day I saw myself on TV and it sucked. Maybe looking at yourself on TV is like looking at yourself through broken glass.

I immediatly found stuff I didnt like. My eyes looked too droopy. I didnt like my smile. I dont get it.

Do any of you ever see yourself on TV and say, damn, do I really look like that?

For some reason I feel like two different people. Its weird. And its not helping feel full of confidence honestly.

Have any of you seen yourself on TV?
 

"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.

You've never been filmed by a friend and then seen the movie? Come on man, this guy isn't telling us he's acting in 90210.

I haven't seen myself on TV in a long time but I definitly like the way I look better in a mirror than in photos.
 

"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.

It's all in your head man. When I first started in radio and I had to hear my own voice, I hated it. I didn't sound half as cool as I thought I did. Well, that's only what I thought. I get calls every day from people and friends and family and especially women, telling me how good and natural I sound.

You only think you look wierd because your not used to seeing yourself on TV. It's the same as recording your voice.

We are our own worse critics and I'm sure this is nothing and nobody else see's you any differently.
