We Can Do Hard Things · How to Survive This Absurd Life with Samantha Irby (Best Of) · 2 Feb 2025 podcast

Yeah, I know those people too. Aren't they annoying?

look i wished i was one of those people who didn't care um i do care i wished i didn't feel so self-conscious i wish there was a little voice in my head as i'm talking to you mike going oh margie you're saying the right things are you hitting it you know there is it's there uh what i what i know is it's like how much power do we give that for those people who just don't

don't care um i actually would say we shouldn't aspire not to care about anything we should care deeply about things but it's about caring about the right things it's about caring about doing things with our time that make the world a little better even if it's our neighbor's life a little better or you know our kids or our family etc

And so it's about what is it that you are putting your focus on? What do you care about? Because what we focus on expands. And so some of us can put all of our focus and attention into what will people think if I mess up? I'm like, yeah, but what will you think of yourself if you don't give yourself a chance? So put your focus on what it is you want.

Not on what you don't want because you can get crippled, like really be held almost captive by impression management, trying to look good in the eyes of others. You know, I like looking good in front of the eyes of others. I mean, I'm human. I'd like to think that everyone thought I was great. But what I know is more important is me feeling great about what I'm doing.

So I put my attention into what is it I'm doing that makes me feel that's meaningful, that's purposeful, that I think it adds, makes the world a better place. And not on... What will everyone say? And so I think there is a real power here in being intentional about what you put your focus on.

Yeah, it's really interesting, isn't it? I've had people tell me over the years they've just been really stressed about making a change. Sometimes it's ending a relationship. Sometimes it's telling someone feedback at work or they've got to let someone go or they know they need to do something and they're so anxious about it. And then they finally do it.

And I have never had anyone tell me that they wished they'd waited longer. Everyone has said, I wished I hadn't waited so long. Like the stress they had by delaying the action they knew they needed to take. I always say cold water doesn't get warm if you wait longer.

So if you're not on a path, if there's something you know you need to do, it's not going to get easier a year from now and two years from now and five years from now.

Thanks, Mike. Great to speak with you.
