Close the distance

There he was, standing at one end of the room with just darkness separating him from his goal. He could see it shining but it didn’t seem to be inviting but he wanted it bad.

So he had two choices, he could either man up and walk the few yards of uncertainty towards it or he could just stand there and stare at it from a safe distance.

Boy walks into a bar. Boy sees girl on the other end of the bar.

Boy wonders if he should go say hello and get the girl. But there are so many what ifs.

What if girl rejects him? Everyone will see that and his friends will have a holiday with it. What if he’s not good enough and doesn’t deserve the girl?

Boy says ‘FUCK IT’! he walks briskly across the room to the girl. He smiles at her and she just stares.

Damn! This is going to be hard one but it can’t get any worse. He can’t quit now.

He digs deep and changes his approach. This is a special goal and he has to approach it differently.

That change seems to work and within minutes they are chatting. The chemistry is great and he’s now in the process of living his goal. This in itself is another challenge.

He has to grow with it in order to maintain it. Somehow, he’s willing to do whatever it takes because he’s more confident and he knows what it’s like to have achieved that goal.

He can’t afford to lose it, because then it wouldn’t make any sense.
