i just finished reading Sean Messenger's "The Game is a lie" topic. Interesting read. First couple of pages reminded me of this:

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I have been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
- Michael Jordan

Just wanted to share that with everyone. It's pretty insightful, I think. And on a side note, I'm employed again. I quit my job to become a CNA, and had to move back in with my parents to finish class and find a job. Now that I'll have a steady paycheck and be independent again, I'll definitely be buying some of his merchandise.

Cheers to everyone in the community for being so helpful.

up, really good phrase

That quote helped me out yesterday I saw this girl I used to go to school with and was scared to go talk to her and then I thought of this and picked my balls up and went to go talk to her and it all just came out so easy.

Thanks

that is a mad good phrase bro,

this one quote is from a friend of mine which did help me out when i thought about if i should go over there and talk to that hottie across the room

"why r u afraid of coming upto a girl?? the worst...... she says no and you move on..... There are plenty of fish in the sea."

chasing women and you can lose a lot of money but you can never lose women by chasing money.

I think I love my wife...that quote stuck in me real good when I heard it

Chasing anything is wrong. Fear, depression, and constipation all come from desire. Kill desire and you will become the man of men!

Focus on RIGHT NOW. Just focus. Remember life isn't to be analyzed. The past is dead. The future is NEVER known. NOW is all you have!!

Distance yourself from your experiences. You are living, but you are also nothing. When you can make sense of that you will become much calmer and more loved.

Remember, Michael Jordan had Nike's billions supporting his every move. You don't.

Nice answer Expat. That's exactly the frame I use. Living in past and future is simply living in your ego.

Learn to get over your ego & nothing matters.

I am a big sports fan and love this quote. Yet for some reason I have never applied it to pick up which is crazy. It fits in perfectly to the mentality you need to become successful.

Definitley going to aply this to pick up and to everyday life.
