Transcripts
guys whenever you told yourself or you
committed yourself to do something that
is maybe outside of your comfort zone
maybe I don't know um shooting a video
in public maybe talking to your crush
whatever it might be then you will
realize that often you're in this state
where your brain like often like freezes
a bit and you're in this in between mode
like okay should I do it should I not do
it you're hesitating the problem is when
you're waiting too long and this is what
I will talk about in this video but for
everybody who's new to the channel my
name is Dennis and I'm building my
business in sales right now because I
want to live free and travel the world
right now as you can see we are in
medene Columbia and here on YouTube I
want to document the whole journey like
the ups and downs in between um and of
course the learnings that I have today I
want to share a learning so yeah in
general if this is interesting consider
subscribing and we will see each other
more often but let's continue with the
video all right what I what I can tell
from experience some years ago I was
into code calling right there of course
it was outside of my comfort zone I was
like scary uh it was scary for me to
call those people and what I was doing I
was doing a mistake right I was waiting
and waiting and I was hoping that it
will get better it would get easier but
the problem that I realized okay the
longer I was waiting the harder I get
right it was always like getting more
and more scary uh when I was waiting and
the same for me was when for example
when I was outside and was talking to I
was not talking to I was seeing a girl
that seemed interesting to me seemed
pretty and I wanted to talk to her but
of course like maybe there were other
people around watching and was scary so
what I did was I was hesitant I was not
doing it like immediately I was waiting
I realized all those negative thoughts
that came up in my brain why this is the
worst idea possible and why I should
should not do this so what I learned is
that whenever we like um in front of a
like hard decision we are in this pH
called the in between right and in in
between is like we're making the
decision between okay doing something
doing what is hard what we are scared of
or doing the easy way and not doing it
and excusing ourselves this pH is
usually only a Time window of 3 seconds
so a very very short time window and in
this short time window this in between
we are fighting a fight with our ego the
problem is when we are not making
decision towards okay doing the right
step the right action the chances of
making the right decision always goes
almost goes to zero and with have no
chance anymore why is that because the
longer we wait the longer we give our
ego the chance to like two things right
first rationalize and we're
rationalizing we're searching like for
all the negative reasons why it's the
worst idea possible but we shouldn't do
it and the second thing that is
happening is that we are that the ego
starts drawing a picture in our head of
all the scary things that are happening
we draw the picture why it's super scary
if we would do it and why it's a bad
idea and these two things when we wait
too long always leads to First anger
anger we angry at ourselves and leads to
disappointment we disappointed ourselves
because we again excused ourselves okay
it was our fault we have to take
responsibility but the thing is the odds
were against us because we just waited
too long and we gave the ego too much
like air to Breathe Right with those 3
seconds so the easy solution is once
once we're real realizing that we are in
those three seconds that we're in this
in between right in between okay make
the right decisions and the wrong
decisions we had first immediately have
to do something we have to jump up like
maybe jump out of bed if you if you
think about okay should I snooze or
should I wake up jump out of bed take
action immediately go take a cold shower
if you're in between okay should I go to
the gym or should I not go to the gym
jump up grab your clothes your gym
clothes and then run to the gym if
necessary because after taking action
it's usually okay the decision is done
and the first step is always the hardest
right after that you are in motion and
what is is in motion stays in motion
then it's usually easy all right I
appreciate that you watch until the end
for everybody who's new to the channel
my name is Dennis and some years ago I
committed myself to achieve all of my
goals and dreams and right now I'm on
the Journey of achieving all of my goals
and dreams and yeah my goal is to
document the journey here on YouTube and

the way so if this is interesting
