"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."
- We Bought A Zoo
One of the main things that get me by every week. From strangers or barely even friends at the elections, to being able one of the most efficient groups to work with - blindly navigating ourselves event after event, meeting after meeting.
I remember shaking and having all sorts of thoughts of pulling out from running for the committee position in may, afraid of working with strangers, believing that the person running against me was a much better choice...
But that 20 seconds of insane courage to be able to convince myself that I will be okay during my speech. The 20 seconds of insane courage to walk up in front of about 40 people to deliver the speech in coherent words. I never thought it would lead me to this - the people, the experience, the stories and the laughter.
I couldn't be more grateful that through the 20 seconds of insane courage of doing something way out of my comfort zone-
I found them.
