What you want most

PJE "Now think about it *differently*. What will happen if you choose to exercise, and work be damned?"

What if I approach, in spite of feeling bad before, during and after the interaction and spite of being a total loser at it?

What do I want most, approach or feel comfortable?

"If you want to make something real in your life, you have to be willing to put it *first*. You have to be able to deal with the fact that *sometimes* you will have to put it ahead of other things, and it will be*uncomfortable* to do so.
You can have anything you want in this life, as long as you are *willing* to pay the price. That doesn't mean you have to struggle and suffer -- in fact the*opposite* is true.'

"Remember, our brains are designed to prioritize *external* events over internal ones in most cases. That means that when "something comes up", if you haven't *already* decided how to handle that type of conflict, chances are your brain will automatically choose what's more urgent, over what's really important to you. And then you'll be kicking yourself later, wondering how you let it all slip away from you."
