You stride confidently with a smile on your face. Even when you don't feel happy. No, Especially when you don't feel happy. You have a joyful aura around you. It makes others happy to be around you. You walk into everything confidently knowing that no one can shoot you down because you're too fvcking busy being awesome to care what they think.
"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.
Too Busy Being Awesome

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Hahahaha, omg, thanks for the laugh :crackup:SilverSonnet said:
I just keep imagining this guy walking around with a big grin an his arms akimbo, then *BAM*. Lampost.
That's what I meant. When you're not happy, don't let it affect you. When something bad happens to you, don't let it change anything for you. In fact, when something bad happens to you, you should concentrate more on all the good things you have going for you and just put the bad things in the back seat.ZenGodMod said:
And i loved the lamp post comment lol
"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.

At least fake it until you make it. This will send signals to your subconscious mind and start reprogramming it to form new positive subconscious thoughts and habits.
It's a lot better than doing the same ole thing and ending up with the same ole life.

rofl, when I'm not happy I'm not happy it doesn't mean I will put on a fake laugh, last night at the club I work was chaos a few people called in sick so I had to run from one area to another to assist at those moments I wasn't happy I had my I'm working my ass off face on. but those moments in between I had my smile on as you have to enjoy what you are doing and look for amusement around you there is allways something that will make you smile.

Good philosophy. I've been working on that. Just looking for shìt that makes me smile in anything and everything. Train your mind to draw itself toward the good, and it seems to make you magnetic.
