Do you know how the absolute Badass, most legendary people EVER got to where they got? Because they CONSTANTLY pushed themselves out of their comfort zones time and time again. Until God-mode and struggle became their comfort zones... and then they pushed even more out of it, into True Greatness.

I've always liked a quote I think I heard someone on RSD say once.

'Could you do it if I put a gun to your head? Then you can do it without the gun'.

"People don't live, most of you, you don't live, you're just keeping the body alive. That's not life. You're not living until it doesn't matter a tinker's damn to you whether you live or die.

At that point you live. When you're ready to lose your life, you live it. But if you're protecting your life, you're dead. If you're sitting up there in the attic and I say to you, "Come on down"! and you say, "Oh no, I've read about people going down stairs. They slip and they break their necks; it's too dangerous". Or I can't get you to cross the street because you say, "You know how many people get run over when they cross the street"? If I can't get you to cross a street, how can I get you to cross a continent?

And if I can't get you to peep out of your little narrow beliefs and convictions and look at another world, you're dead, you're completely dead; life has passed you by. "

I like the way Ice T explains it as "fuck it". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAlzPgXb6rE

Fuck fear! Approach a woman you find attractive and talk to her. The worst thing that could happen is that you'll get downvoted on Seddit if you don't get an F-close.

I don't know why but I imagine a black man in front of me tell me this

What a damn good quote, I would be wise to remember this.

I always pull up this scene from Butter (which also has Olivia Wilde as a stripper). It's awesome to do this mentally sometimes.
