6 A.M. : BBB wakes up, turns the pc and puts on some Santana - I'm Winning.
Very inspirational song, everyone should listen.
Yeah folks, another week has gone, and I close to the ending of the classes, signs that I'm winning start to pop up.
And to think that I started this year as a guy hated by 90% of the school, getting into fights almost daily, being ignored by girls and feeling bad about myself.
But, the DJ Light started shining on this little blues boy.
Now, 7 months later, I see how much I have improved.
How it was worth putting the things I learned in practice.
I'm on the snowball effect.
I got a little happy at first, with small things, and now I'm feeling better and better as each day passes, and big things are starting to happen !!
You see, when you become a DJ, you'll face opressors.
Nobody's jealous of an AFC. They just too unimportant to be noticed.
Charima, Confidence and Happiness are some things that 75% of the people you come in contact with will never really have it, or will always fake it, or will take drugs and drink gallons of alchool to try to get it.
These are parts of us.
If they came to me in 7 months, they can come to anyone in less time.
All you have to do is try.
A lot of people say things hard, or they can't make it, even before they try...
That's so wrong !!!
How can we sabotage ourselves this ways?
How can we ASSUME something ?
The only sure thing is that we're gonna die someday, and knowing that we must take our chances before we do.
The pain of loosing is way softer than the pain of not trying.
When you loose, you know where you did wrong, and where you need to improve.
When you don't try, you can never know what your flaws are, and never get rid of them !!
You see, 7 months ago, I could have assumed that school's over for me, no more girls, no more being happy.
Just stand these motnhs in this prision till vacations come and I'm rid of it.
It was easy !!
Very easy !!
But you can't ever win without fighting !!
So I fought ! Hard !
I change my point of view, stopped all the dramas and decided to focus on small things, and fell in love with playing soccer (Always liked, but never really dived into it).
And I managed to talk again with a girl that I had a Dawson's Creek-like argument, out of which she left out very hurted, cried a lot, and I lost my chances with her.
It was one of those non-turning back things, but I fought for it and we're friends again.
Now I use her as social proof, which has gave a lot of status and recognition.
I cut my hair and changed my clothing style.
People always see me laughing.
When I'm making fun of someone, or something, they line up to hear me talk.
I bring girls to tears, even the older ones who don't hang around with younger guys.
I'm so funny that whenI get near the girls they already start to smile !!
I've anchored my presence to a state of happiness and fun !!
How?
Trying.
Failing.
Making mistakes.
Instead of sitting around and complaining, I did something.
I play the guitar and play soccer, so when there are no girls around I have both to take my time.
I used to fear approaching girls, or shy out sometimes.
Now I strike conversations with total strangers anywhere !!
And it's hell fun !!
You'd be amazed to see how people are crazy to tell you the most funny stories, or just why they're there.
I'm telling those things so that you see that it's nothing impossible, it's not even hard !
You got to try !!
I see some posts where 30 years-old guys say that they decided not to waste their time and start to take their chances...
Then I think to myself: " Man, I'm 17... I''m not taking more chances because I don't work and can't drive (in Brazil you have to be 18 to drive). When I get my own money and my car, I'll have more things to do and people to meet than spare time !!
And that's great !!!
I'm trying !!
A good friend of mine said that to me... He's 30, a natural DJ, he gave me this piece of advice:
" Try man, try harder and harder !
Try 10 ten times to kiss a girl. If you get ten nos, the eleventh might be a yes!
Two months ago, when you started playing soccer, you couldn't kick the ball where you wanted. You'd kick weak,low balls in the middle of the goal. Now you kick strong, high and effects balls.
In two months !
It seemed impossible didn't it?
But you tried.
You kept trying!
I saw you by yourself kicking the balls until you finally got it! "
I kinda of overheard his advice, but he's gone for Japan, and we're going to be 2 years without seeing each other, so it finally clicked me:
Dude, he's gone.
That fast.
My life is going too...
The end of the year is closing in... am I going to spend the rest of my life afraid of taking risks??
No Way !!
I wish I had this drive 7 months ago, so I would have changed even more, but now I know that I have no more time, and I have no more excuses to give out.
It's time to live life, to take chances.
To laugh my as* off, to play soccer, to mack the girls, to talk to strangers, to go for my desires.
Time to fight for my dreams, time to LIVE for my dreams.
I have no more time to spend thinking about why X girl rejected me, or why shouldn't I approach that smiling babe over there.
I have no more time to worry about what other think about me, or to justify my acts.
F*ck !!
I plan 10% of the time and act 90% !!
I'm trying, learning from experience.
I'm living, getting stories to tell my grandchildren...
How many of you have a Hubcap as a key ring?
How many of you have striked a conversation with an old man who started telling you about the times when meat was nowhere to be found, so people started to kill dogs and cats to eat??
How many of you have heard a girl saying to you: stop making me laugh! I can't take it anymore...
How did I get these?
Trying.
Tomorrow I'll have more classes.
What will I do?
Take opportunities.
Take risks.
Talk to girls.
Talk to strangers.
If don't get to do any of these, at least I'll try to !!
You know, you might read this post and say:
That's bullsh!t, or that's so obvious !!
You might disagree with everything I said.
But try !
Try for yourself!
It was once impossible for me...
Like it might be to you...
But somethings are only possible after you try.
Just for the record, the guy who told me this has laid over 120 women, according to his calculation...
And his married to one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen.
Cuter than TV girls.
Anyways, I hope you get in the spirit !!
Never give up, never stop evolving!
Remember, always with confidence, charisma and happiness.
And try.
May the Light of DJ be with you.

I learned that the moment opressors step in, is the sign that you're becoming a true DJ.
