G.O.t.D - Day Eleven - Could Hollywood Do It?

Well,
Time to tell the truth. This mission so completely doesn't fit my life right now. I was all set to take a month off from gaming girls to work on non-girl related goals.

I wont get into it all here, but I'd like to see a dentist, there's issues surrounding my divorce (still lingering for over seven years now), finances, etc. etc.... I'd just like to get my life in order, so I can look out at the world with nothing on my shoulders and just feel like a Man who is in charge of his world.

On top of that, a beautiful wonderful woman who I was dating for nine months recently moved away. I'm glad that she's getting on with her life, but I also miss her very much.

But, everyone got excited to do a challenge, and I'm a sucker for excitement. See, I've figured something out through all this. Motivation is one of the biggest challenges in this game. Our bodies were never meant to become cooler. We weren't meant to tinker with the social order. But, we do. Because we're men and we like to break the rules.

So, when I see motivation and I see momentum, I jump on it. I see a bunch of guys who are willing to kick my ass to push me beyond my comfort zone, and I know how rare that is. I know that's an opportunity that a guy must take.

Lance said the word challenge. I said fuck yeah!

And, to disclose the whole truth... I'm fuckin' glad I did. It's not the right time in my life right now, but that's ok.

Everyday I learn something new, and that is my measure of success.

What did I learn today?

The hottest girl was walking down the sidewalk with her mom (what's with me and moms?). I saw her out the window. I wasn't going to run after her. I thought about yelling. It didn't seem appropriate.

I thought... limiting belief? hmm... perhaps... "can't yell out a window at a girl with her mom."

And I'll share a little secret here. This is my lithmus test for a limiting belief: Could Hollywood do it?

Could Hollywood make a movie where the hero yells out the window at a hot chick and get's the girl. Yes, Hollywood could make it happen, so I could too.

Next time, perhaps i'll just yell. I'll be the romantic fool.

Today I didn't.
