What if... You had 20 Seconds of Insane Courage?

There's a great quote from Matt Damon's character in the new movie The Zoo..."All it takes is 20 seconds of insane courage." Each time I hear the commercial for the movie I wonder what that might be like...to have that 20 seconds of insane courage. What does it take to be courageous I wonder? 

I think courage can be seen in big moments of life but, perhaps, is more often found in the little moments every day. I think it's speaking up when you know what you have to say won't be popular, standing up against that bully who is making your life miserable, getting out of bed when you really just want to pull the covers over your head. Courage is may be going against the "popular" to do the "right". I think courage is sometimes a roar but more often a whisper that says you'll try again tomorrow.

What would you do with 20 seconds of insane courage?

I don't know what "insane" courage would look like but I bet the risk might just be worth the reward. What is the one thing you would do if you weren't afraid to risk it all? For me...who knows, but I think it starts with the willingness to take a risk!

What would a moment of insane courage look like for you?
