Reading Geoff Thompson's work has been a source of inspiration for me for many years now. I been asking a few question lately about taking more risks with my approaches. I've been quietly feeling a lot of resistance to approach (what I would consider) girls that are 10's. Also been trying to smash day game and not getting very far.

So I went back to the guy that I originally took inspiration from and I found this article. Those that fall.

The part that I really drew inspiration from was the following points:

Quote:

There is abundance out there, but taking advantage of it always incurs risk.
You only hone your skills when you put yourself at risk.
It is fact, the world is abundant; your denial of it does not affect the truth.
If you don’t take advantage of abundance, someone else will, someone, someone else already is.
You might be safe on the fence, but you will not soar on a fence.
Man was not made to sit on fences.
There is more danger sitting safe that there is venturing out.
It is OK to make mistakes, they are rarely fatal; it is how we hone our skills.
As Rumi says, only those that fall are given wings.
If we all knew just how divine we really are, we’d all realise just how protected we really are.
Most of the things you fear only exist in your mind.
Risk is usually exaggerated: if you give yourself a wider perspective, you will erase most of the danger.
Those that you think are your nemesis are often your benefactor.
In terms of Divinity, there is such a thing as a free meal.
God feeds the birds, but he does not (and he will not) put the food in their nests.
You have been gifted with free will, no one is ever going to force you off the fence.
Don’t hesitate for too long, whilst you cannot exhaust the abundance in this universe, you can run out of time in this incarnation.

Think what you will about the statements but I really took inspiration from this and feel slightly more courageous.

Everything only exists in your mind. There is no information that you have ever witnessed that your brain has not interpreted, labelled, cross referenced, compared to other things you 'know', and spun opinion on based on your current emotional state.

Enjoyed your post monkeybuster. A few lads at the gym where I train are massive Thompson fans. If you sometimes take inspiration from Martial Arts what about when Fabricio Werdum beat Fedor earlier this year.

For those who dont know much about MMA Fedor Emelianenko is a Russian MMA fighter who went 10 years before suffering his first proper loss. Some people say pound for pound he is the greatest MMA fighter the world has ever seen. Upon his first legitimate loss he looked very composed and content and when they asked him about how he felt he said;

'Nothing, Because the one who doesnt fall, doesnt stand up'

YouTube - Fedor : The one who doesn't fall never stands up
