I’ve been asked, “What exactly do you think about when you’re “in set”?” So here, in a big pile of notes is a sample of my thought process.
Ooh, who’s that? She’s attractive. Time for a chat……hey, I wonder if the bar will give me an extra cherry in my next drink. …She has nice teeth…I wonder if that toothpaste I saw advertise actually foams up the way it suggests…..wait hang on, time for a hug. Oh, no….she’s a shit hugger….well let’s at least enjoy the chat….oh, wait, wait, she’s looking for me to buy her a drink….hey, was that a dude wearing a cowboy hat, how cute….I wonder if I can get a street vendor pretzel at this hour…Oh, she’s licking her lips….I remember this one time, it was pouring rain and I ran outside just for a pretzel. And that homeless guy accused me of breaking his bottle….wow, that was years ago….what’s she talking about? Oh, ha ha, that’s dull….time to POOF….hey who’s that?
It’s not a series of steps. It’s not about ticking off a checklist of “Meet, Escalate, Isolate” now those terms are consequences of just speaking and being. By not keeping it a checklist, and keeping all my options open and myself free to enjoy the moment, I can completely lead without fear and act with passion.
