"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 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.

Great post, excellent reflection on things the masters know but very few can put it in words.
Interesting story.
Interesting story.
Thanks for an inspiring post!
I'd recommend everyone to read Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now. It's all about how to change your current state of mind and be happy in the present, instead of focusing and/or worrying about the past and future events which we cannot control. It's by far the most mindblowing book I've read. DeAngelo also talks about it all the time, and I believe he also said that if there is only one book you'll read then make sure it's The Power of Now.

I'm not advertising if I say that, 3 years ago, this Thread changed my life. Pook told me what to do, and Sammo made me go out and actually do it!
I was in a huge downward spiral resulting from fear and lethargy. My life changed direction 180° when I took that one first step.
