Sometimes it can be cold as hell out. But it's just how nature is. Sometimes girls are bitches, but it's just nature. I'm glad I've only experienced the weather. Most girls are nice.
There have been a handful of times in my life where I've felt invincible. When I felt truly like a king. I've pitched in front of 20,000 people, I've stared down A-Rod and came out on top. I've pulled hot chicks from hot dudes. I look back to my success in those things. It's all come down to one thing.
Lack of fear.
It's not that my body didn't want to produce fear. I just wouldn't let it. When you're staring down the mvp of baseball you can't help but have sweaty palms. I made the decision awhile ago that if I go for anything, I'm going to go big.
I may want to sweat, and break down, and my body may be dying to do so, but my mind won't let me. I don't feel power from having sex with random club girls and hot chicks, I feel power from my ability to act. I feel power that I am willing to do whatever it takes, regardless of outcome. The outcome is not the prize, but the decision to go for it is.
I've never really read pick up material. But I read inspiration. I look at my friends, my acquaintances. Most of them, correction, really none of them, ever go for anything big. The risk is simply too big. They forget that they ARE going to die one day. And they live and they die, unnoticed, with no completion of goals or personal happiness.
I've been approached by several major companies about joining forces with them. Every time I have the same answer, a polite, "No thank you." I am going big or nothing. I am not an employee, I am a boss. If that means I have to struggle, so be it.
So far there have been 6 Oscar winners, 8 Emmy Award winners, and 9 Grammy winners who have been homeless at one point in their lives. Halle Berry, Drew Carey, David Letterman, Jim Carrey.
Daniel Craig (James Bond), lived on a park bench in London before making it. Kurt Cobain lived in a cardboard box.
But somehow these individuals found a way to make it. It wasn't by luck. I walk around downtown Chicago every night and see dozens of homeless people. If they can make it, so can we. Most of us have stuff to fall back on. Whether it be family, or a park bench, we will still wake up tomorrow. So much of what we have is over looked. Life is amazing, and short or long, depending on how you look at it. The risks we take make us who we are. Stepping outside that comfort zone for something we truly believe in will change the way we walk.
Take a chance. Go for your dreams. You deserve it. You deserve everything in the world. After all, it was out here for you. Stop staring at it, and just go grab it
