20 Seconds Of Courage Can Change Your Life


My Courage "IS" inside me!


Just 20 Seconds of Insane Courage!



Face your problems or opportunities with courage and your life will never be the same.

What situation in your life could use just 20 seconds of insane courage to make a change, to open the door of opportunity? 20 seconds to tell someone something you're afraid to, 20 seconds to begin something that you've always wanted to, 20 seconds to make that call you've been putting off, 20 seconds to put in your two cents/your opinion...which would make big changes in your life.

The good news is once you start practicing this 20 second concept, it gets easier.



Often it's the moments we don't expect or cannot possibly plan for that can be the turning points and possibly even the source of magic in our lives.

In an instant where your response or reaction can be one of those opportunities to do or say something courageous, to make a difference or to take one giant step closer to a major turning point in your life.

In the movie, Benjamin Mee, the unlikely zookeeper, shares the most important thing he learned from his brother... "The greatest moments of our lives start with just 20 seconds of insane courage. In that amount of time you can change your life. The lives of those around you. And possibly the world."




What’s holding you back from taking the first step of courage, when it presents itself?

  • Someone’s opinion
  • Fear of failure
  • Only 20 seconds can change your life!
  • Security


Once you face your problems or opportunities with courage, the world starts to open up. So take a deep breath, shoot caution to the wind...grab your 20 seconds of insane courage and see where the cards fall. There is no glory in not trying! You'll see how great it feels...you'll find opportunities instead of trials, new ways of doing what you want instead of dead end roads. It brings you freedom and happiness.

Think about the past and what opportunities you've missed. Opportunities where you didn't take that 20 seconds to speak up, take a stand, give your opinion, ask a question, volunteer yourself, ask for something. Now think about future opportunities and problems that will surely cross you path, and how you will swallow and step up ... gather your 20 seconds of insane courage! In time it becomes easier and then without even knowing, second nature.

Today....

Find that one thing that needs your 20 seconds of courage.
Take 20 seconds of insane courage and do something about it! Go change your life today!



What can 20 seconds of insane courage do for you?
