20 Seconds of Insane Courage

Hello,I'm starting this blog as a place to just express my thoughts and feelings, which will hopefully help you, my readers. I would love any feedback and ideas for the future. I want this to be somewhere where we can help each other on this roller-coaster that we call life.

 My first post is going to be about getting the courage to do something that you never thought you would be able to do. If any of you have seen We Bought A Zoo then you may recognise the quote I used to title this post. But it's true all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage and something big in your life could change.

 I normally use 20 seconds of courage when I talk to guys that I like. You may know the feeling when you have typed a message to that boy but you cant press send, because your always thinking of the worst possible outcomes. However just give yourself 20 seconds of courage, click send and everything might change. This happened to me in early august this year, one of my closest friends told me to tell this boy how I felt and I did it and we went on a date and although nothing else came from it, it gave me a lot more confidence. Sometimes we just need a bit of courage to do something embarrassing otherwise how will we ever know.  We should just do what we want to and even if the outcome is not positive we can learn and move on.

This week, try giving yourself 20 seconds of insane courage and let me know the outcome.
