How to Survive This Absurd Life with Samantha Irby (Best Of)

Well, people will rarely say, I don't want to feel those emotions. Actually, what they'll usually say is, I'm just too busy. Or there'll be some other reason. It's not always that, oh, I don't want to feel those emotions. It's like, oh, no, it's just not the right time. Or it's not so bad right now. And we'll come up with a whole lot of other reasons that give us air cover.

So I would just be going, okay, so let's pull this back. What have you got to lose? And, you know, well, at the end of the day, I've got to lose a little bit of face here. I've got to lose my pride a little bit. Like, I don't want to feel that way. And then I'm like, what have you got to gain? And, you know, we don't know what we don't experience when we don't be brave, right?

We don't know that, hey, we could have met some awesome person or we could have gone to some event and met a whole lot of people or landed some great opportunity. We don't know what we don't get because we stuck with what was safe. So, often our attention zeros in on what could go wrong or what could be lost and we really just quickly pass by, well, what is it that you could be losing?

What's the opportunity cost of you not doing this? And so, you know, in my book, I talk about, you know, practice the one-minute rule that one brave minute, like in one minute of brave action could open up a whole lot of opportunities that you just don't even know about. But just recognizing that when we give ourselves permission to feel anything, It actually opens us up for everything.

You know, people who land on the top of the mountain and I'm not saying we all want to land on the top of a mountain, but people who land there didn't just get there by accident.
