Thank you.
I have for the most part won the "battle of the mind" but I still need to win the "battle of the body". Once I've reached the level of fitness that I want to be at I'm going to go on an "asking out" spree. Hahaha.
But I will say this, my focus to become the best version of myself that I can possibly be has never been sharper. My will power has increased dramatically over the past few months thanks to all the self help programs that I've been implementing into my daily life.
Asking girls out on dates is exactly like building muscle.
The more you do it the better you will get at it. And sure there will be pain along the way but remember NO PAIN! NO GAIN!
Why not try in the context of asking girls out? Are you really that scared? Girls are just flesh and blood like you and I. They are not goddesses that will fry your eyes out their sockets if you gaze upon them. And I can guarantee you that you will not burst into flames if you get rejected.
I got rejected twice by a girl I had a huge crush on during my senior year of high school and I'm still hear to tell the tale! Plus, I asked her out when my hair on the top of my head was nothing but a little fuzzy patch. Going bald during my last year of high school was the worst but I do not regret asking that girl out because I learned
so much from that experience.
You can't make a fire if you don't strike a match. The first match might not light BUT GUESS WHAT? You've got yourself a limitless supply of matches. Apply this metaphor to your darkness metaphor or rather CHANGE THIS SHITTY BELIEF INTO AN EMPOWERING ONE!
OR maybe JUST maybe your mind is riddled with limiting beliefs.
When you finally realize this it's going to hit you like a ton of bricks.
Don't turn into a Combine, Izick. I will not tolerate another Combine.
