20 Seconds

"All you need is 20 seconds of insane courage"-Benjamin Mee

Fear inhibits people from making tough decisions. 

Fear stops people from telling the truth.

Fear.

If people never did anything that scared them, the world would arguably be a boring place, where we all walk on egg shells.

Doing something that you fear, can end up changing your life. Whether it be a positive or negative, it can make you a stronger person.

Therefore there is great importance in doing something that you fear every day.

Fear isn't necessarily always the same. 

You can be afraid of sending that message to an old friend, afraid that they won't respond to you.

It could be that you fear that conversation you know you have to have with your parents.

You could be afraid to finally send in that cover letter to that internship you yearn for, but are afraid of being told you simply are not good enough.

The problem with not facing your fears, is that they can come to own you, to control you.

Fear can stop you from living.

But only if you let it.

Just do something, however small or big, that scares you because at the end of the day you will not know what happens unless you try.

20 seconds of insane courage can sometimes be all you need to do something you're afraid off.

Whether it be a 20 second speech, 

The 20 seconds you need before hitting that send bar, 

The 20 seconds before submitting your application to an internship

Try it.

Give yourself those 20 seconds.

Overcome a fear.
