Taking Action Takes Guts Sometimes
I know… Oh do I know!.. that action isn’t that easy.
ok… I was that teenager dialing the telephone and hanging up before I finished dialing 150 times. And sometimes I finally just walked away..
It took me years to finally develop the guts to go through with that. And I was still nervous, but I learned to hold my breath and go.
Walking up to a person to talk to them..
Asking a person out on a date..
Making that first phone call..
And every other action that is required to get something moving with another in the love direction..
..it all takes guts and it all takes action.
We fear so many things don’t we? Making a fool out of ourselves. Being rejected.. lack of confidence plays a big roll.
But the only way we find our true soul mates in life is sampling the field! And the only way to do that is to push through.. to hold your breath and dive into the water. It’s like that.. when you are at the edge of what you know will be cold water.. you know once you’re in it you’ll be fine, but it’s that initial shock we fear right?
And you MUST NOT be afraid of failure.. failure is healthy in life. Whether that’s in relationships, business or whatever. That’s how we learn. And that’s how we play the numbers game.
Not everyone is going to be right for you.. but you must try and fail to get to that person that is.
A salesman understands that they have to get so many no’s to get to a yes. It’s the same way with dating.. as long as you understand that failure is part of the process, it will make it easier for you.
See the prize. Understand the numbers.. and get out there and take action. It takes guts.. even I had to get through this.. And once I gained the confidence to strike out, I dated dozens and dozens of women before I met the one I married… You can do it too!
