You see this beautiful story is unique. One, it is based off a true story, not sure how much of it is true but still. Two, it hold some pretty great advise that anyone can follow. "You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it". Let me tell you what I have not used this as much as I have wanted to over the last few years since I have seen this movie but I have used it in the last few month.
This movie is what I am basing my year of courage of off. Some of these scary things I have gotten used to the idea that I am going to do them, other I have not. I am hoping that by watching this movie again I will be able to remind myself of that saying and apply it as needed through the year.
I love this quote because it's an easy way to remind yourself that you have more in you than what you think you do. When you think you can't go anymore there is always a little bit there that can take you further. If I didn't have this say I don't think I would have the job position that I would today. I don't like change all that much. I am not opposed to it but I am not a fan. If I am going to make a big change in my life I take FOREVER to get to a point of saying that I am ready to do it! I mean I work at the same job for nearly 8 years before I changed it. When I got to my new job I didn't want to go for any positions hire. One month after my one year anniversary I got the promotion I applied for. That took so much more courage in me that I thought I had to say I wanted to go for it and even more when I actually had to apply and interview all over again!
I hope that as I go and basically torture myself slowly this year, that this movie and line will help to remind me there is more to me than there is to me.
