20 seconds to leave comfort zone | #88
You just need 20 seconds of insane courage
Hi, I'm Pranav
Every Friday, I share my process, thoughts, stories, ideas, and weekly recommendations. We're a community of 100+ curious people reading these newsletters.
“I need to do this, and it will change my life”
I did my first stage performance when I was very young. Though I was very young, I was a bit nervous, but that was the start of my learning in these such activities.
I have taken part in all the possible co-curricular activities in my school. That has taught me a lot. I gained confidence, learned to work in a team, learnt to do hard work, importance of failure, etc.
But this wasn’t easy. Early on, I always thought of ‘what people would think of me’ or ‘what if I failed’, but there were people who pushed me to do the activities. Many people have the same thoughts.
I recently learnt a new concept, that I use every time when I hesitate to do anything, whether it’s a stage performance. The concept is called the ‘20 second rule’. It says that if you have any public event or you want to approach someone but you are hesitating to do that, just have that 20 seconds of insane courage, remove all the thoughts of what people will think and do that thing.
For example, if you want to start a YouTube channel, but you hesitate to make the videos as you think you’ll get negative comments on the videos, but what if one day the channel becomes big, you’ll be proud that you made the first video. So, just have that courage courage to shoot the first video.
