"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.

Guys, i'm not completely out of shape, but i'm not really where i would like to be..... I want to start working out with my dad (who is a beast) but he told me he won't take me to the gym w/ him until i prove i can do 50 consecutive pushups (he's old school...) Anyways i'm doing that plan on hundredpushups.com and i could do 13 w.o stopping but my back kind of hurts when i do one. Is this because i never really do pushups? Or is it because i have some sort back problem? Will it go away if i continue the plan? Or will it worsen? I would really enjoy your feedback
 

"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.

Are you in good shape otherwise?

Do you do cardio and any weight lifting at all??

Are you doing them with good form? You're not letting your lower back drop, are you? That's the only thing I can think off the top of my head that could cause back pain.
