Ask any professional "player" why they lost.. be it a team game.. or a one on one game.. what are they gonna say?

person who was more prepared or had a game plan?

"i actually look forward to your response."

Does it make you smile?

a bit.
but it makes me think.
it makes me use my brain and not my heart.

like when coach throws questions at me.
when he started asking me questions unrelated to m or r, i used my brain. the questions lead to what he wants me to learn.

same with the questions you throw at me. i have to think. use lots of examples. i have to see a pattern in the examples. that's how i start processing things with the brain and not the heart.

i can see what triggers an emotional response from me. it really depends on the advice i am given. if i am being told what to do, i dig my heels. if you make it come from me, then i am likely to be convinced.

So.. now you know I am "crazy".

just a complete nutjob. smile
that's why you get it when i rant and just lose it. see posts from last week.

Don't know that I can give you the exact words I said.. It is hard to put my mind back into that situation.

i don't want you to recall it here. i rather you just point me to it and i'll read it from there. i don't want to make you re-live that period of your life.

This is what is important. The good news is that you have a chance to change that perception. You played the game and "lost".. you watched the tapes and saw where you screwed up.. where you could improve.

i don't see my h so i don't know if he will ever see this change in me. i gotta figure a way on how to practice not giving that look though.

i have to be a bit creative. i said that when i use my brain, i don't give the look. if you ask people like my co-workers or friends, they will tell you that i don't have a threatening "look". at work or with friends, i don't use my heart. just my head.

with h, the heart is involved.

Why can't your actions and goals be completely different?

i don't know. i hope that if i do change this part of me, that i can maintain it and that it would become natural.

tonight, i spent time with a friend for coffee at the local Starbucks. she said i was too thin and needed to be fattened up. i gotta eat better ..

thanks for hanging around.
