It all boils down to how badly you want it. Even though Bill wants a great social life, he doesn't seem to want it as badly as Jerry.

In todays world nothing comes for free, taking action is the most important thing if you want to change your situation in life.

although Bill is failing in social life as per the above scenario. But, if his focus is on some goals which doesn't require socializing then surely he too will be successful.

I wasn't prepared 100 percent to go full time, all friggin' day. I made myself leave that comfort zone and MADE Myself work until I had any SEMBLANCE, or large potential of ANY result from freelance arbitrage last night.

Good news. I had a FOLLOW-THRU at 11PM last night 'abouts' for a contract! I worked my pants off from 1PM till 3 AM in the morning. Was NOT even half as hard as I thought. It was engrossing, to say the least!

What can I say, I am much like Bill. Want to change my social life but won't put labor for it. Its coming very hard to me. Sometimes I feel very uncomfortable with people. I guess I have to be very uncomfortable to recover this odd situation.

Great post!
Action really matters but dedication is the best solution to face your fears.
