"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.

For a klondike bar.


I know one of my biggest issues; is fear of failure. It made me ask for advice a few times on this forum. Now I am not saying I am perfect and don't need advice, it's nice to ask for oppinions. What I am saying that all my best learning experiences have been from crashing and BURNING. I wouldn't have failed if I didn't act. I wouldn't have learned if I didn't fail. But the right mentality is simple; to quote a disney movie (step tha fu(k back before you judge me :D) "faint heart never won fair maiden". Easy, plain as day. So...

Instead of worrying about being perfect with every situation, just act. You have to accept a failure rate before you get good at anything. The "game" is no different than other games, Baseball or Mario Brothers, in the notion that you only get better if you work at it (DUH).

Failure, is inevitable, but you never have to accept defeat. See the difference?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

All the information we get will never be as good as personal experience, especially with failing. With failing, we test ourselves to see whether or not we just give up or we grow some balls and rise up the ladder waiting for the next fall...not as low as the one before. I agree with you

Sweet!

My posts are as much for me to cement the ideas in my brain as it is for some one to read and hopefully flick that light switch on.
