I had another "forced" interaction with a girl I think is really attractive. She's probably 19 or 20. She works out with a trainer with her mom. As I was doing an exercise, their trainer approached with them and asked me how many sets I had left. It was a brief and indirect interaction, but an interaction none-the-less. Afterward she was displaying some decent interested body language. I'll have to see if the spy pics turned out. (EDIT: They didn't. Damn.)
I ran into my wife's best friend's husband again. Two days in a row, and he approached me both times. In the past, through various iterations of DMSI, he's gone out of his way to avoid talking to me. These last two days, not only did he seek me out, but the interactions were very smooth, happy, and the longest I've ever had with him. It's cool, because we have a lot in common, and I can see us becoming good friends if given the chance.
I ended my workout with another jaunt on the treadmill. The hot Asian chick had an opportunity to come walk next to me, and opted to walk on a treadmill as far away as possible. Ah, well...I didn't really care, just thought it'd be interesting if she had any courage to do so.
On the way home, I had thoughts about self-worth. It was spurred by some people driving fancy, expensive cars. I could only think that while they thought their value was high b/c of money and status of that nature, my status is higher - transcendent - than any of that. I thought, "I could be homeless, no job, no money, and what I REALLY am is still more valuable than anything represented by money, jobs, achievements, etc..." It's a nice feeling to know your value truly comes from within. What would some of these people think of themselves if they were stripped of all the externals? Would they still feel valuable? I can't speak for them, but I would (feel high value).
