Hi. Hello
The light had to go up a bit, but is it good though?
And the framework?
It's good!
What is up guys! And welcome to another Titan's Life
It is unbelievable, we were talking about how fear may prevent us from having the best experiences
And how unproportional it is to the real danger that it presents to us
We end up having such fear, that anxiety kicks in so strong
We end up not doing because of some unreal expectations and when we actually do the thing
We go like "Wow, but what was the worst that could have happened?"
There are two situations where fear takes control of our lives
One being when it prevents us from having unique and awesome experiences
And the other one is on a daily basis, when we create a desproportionate fear
Totally not accurate and comparable to the real dangers that may occur
So the first one the example I can give is when I skydived
I was freaking out, and I had to make the decision one month ahead, setting the date to the jump
So that in between I would make it clear to myself that I would do it no matter what, I wouldn't give up
And I'm like this, once I put something in my mind I get stuck with it
Doesn't matter the excuses that may appear, or sometimes I try to fool myself
No, I tend to stay focused to beating the fear and do the thing
And so I went there, I jumped, and it was the most amazing experience I ever had
that feeling of freedom
That is one of the fears, the one that blocks us from having unique and awesome experiences
And when we think about the fears on the daily basis, it is the traumas that left uf with scars and
make us feel a disproportionate fear today about what may happend
Maybe you went to talk to that girl someday on the club and had a negative response, so today
you expect the worst scenario possible
Another great example is public speaking. You may wonder about some people pointing or smth worse
And so when you go there and do it you realize the worst thing is actually just not paying attention
Augusto and I for example had a huge fear of posting our first video on youtube
Oh my god, what will the others think, our family
it has to be perfect
It has to be perfect cause we are showing it to people, and then imagine what they will think, what will happen to us
And in reality nothing happened
It is impossible, when that fear happens, being it an unique experience or a daily activity
It is impossible to simply shut it off, there is no such button
My mom has the best advice in this situation, Mom I love you btw, but she says
"Augusto, you just have to remain calm"
Like if it was something simple like "Oh yeah, why haven't I thought about it earlier?"
This doesn't happen, we can't simply turn off the fear
But what helps a lot is to rationalize it
That this fear may be preventing us
It may be blocking us from having huge experiences and rewards
That phrase "big risks big rewards" is very true
Yeah, when we actually put it in some sort of scale, not only the extreme situations like skydiving
When we put these positive opportunities on the scale, what they may offer
There are infinite possibilities, we can't even imagine
And the negative ones, even the worst cases is more often that not, reversible
It's not going to be something permanent
So Titans, we invite you to write it down somewhere
Like a contract, saying that you will do something you are very afraid of doing, and then tell us how it went
Tim Ferris wrote in his "4 Hour Workweek" about the experience he went through
To let go of the life he thought was for him and actually live the life he wanted to
He wrote down the pros and cons and assembled weights to them
In terms of happiness he might feel or unhappiness
And so he realized, in the worst case scenario in case he quit his job and went for his dream
The best scenario he would have a happiness level 10 and worst level 4
Which in a few months he would be able to revert and get back to where he was at the moment
This process is interesting, to weight the pros and cons
So guys, we really hope we were able to make you question yourself about the fears you have
And how benefitial it would be if you took a chance and went for them
In case you were able to relate to what we just said, like this video
In case you haven't subscribe yet, here is the link down below, our last video is right there
Our social media is there at the corner
that was it for today, thanks, see you and we are OUT!
