"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.

Interesting question....

For me it used to be everyone. Always worried about what others thought of me growing up. Always people pleasing. But now adays that's changed. I only allow my wife, and a few select to be on my jury. Its taken quite a while to let go of everyone elses opinion of me and not let it effect me, but its difficult and sometimes still is. However it get easier and easier as life goes on.

"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.

My woman (when there is one), my brother/sister/parents, a couple good friends, my boss, and my dog. That's pretty much it.

That said I treat people better than average overall. Greases the skids of life better.
