In my case, the "pay off" also applies to my social life where I try to make new friends. It's rare to find 'good' friends today what with all the distractions of modern life. When I get into a casual conversation with someone (not necessarily someone attractive) I tend to sabotage myself by wandering into the future DURING the conversation... wondering if the person is someone I could meet up again in the future - talk about irony. We all need to train the mind to behave and not let it wander. Always be focused in the present and drop the expectations. Awesome post David.

Being present really mean being more aware of yourself and your surrounding. By being more aware of yourself, you get to truly appreciate more of what's around you. By being more aware of your thoughts, you also learn to let go of unproductive thoughts. THAT is really what being in the moment really means. See your thoughts, fears and insecurities for what they are. They are just emotions manifesting themselves now... about something you most of the time can't control. So instead of focusing on what you can't control, learn to focus on the things you see and feel and appreciate them. If you haven't done it already, I recommend you start journaling your little wins every day. That will help you learn what it truly means to be in the moment. John,

to me, the most impressive sentence in today’s blog is this one:

“What has gotten lost in people’s lives and in their search for love, though, is looking for what they DO want instead of what they SHOULD want.”

It’ll be my “food for thought” this weekend…

So EVERYONE looks for that thing that pays off well because we don't know when we'll get the next chance. I agree that we should take things slower, and it gets frustrating when my girlfriend gets impatient and starts yelling at me because I drove too slow and the light turned red.

Look at it like this if they took the time to give you their attention does not prove anything to the person. I myself if I like you and want you in my circle then I will talk to you...But if I say hi and keep on walking maybe I feel like that person does not want to be bothered with me and sometimes I don't talk at all. Take time to get to know the person you want to be with even if they want to be friends in the beginning take one day at a time there is an expression: Good things come to those who wait. Then you will be thankful you did. Why worry if the person is going to like you or not. Look at it like this if they took the time to give you their attention does not prove anything to the person.
