3 seconds which could change your life

"All it takes is three seconds of courage. Three seconds of insane bravery to change your life forever. From a pause in your step, to a stride across the room. From an ‘I’m too scared’ to a ‘What the hell and ‘its been done’ to ‘I can do it better’. Three seconds to re-wire your thought process. And turn your comfort zone into your catalyst. Sure, there will be a battle between brain and heart. 

Your brain, the careful one, wanting to protect you. Whilst your heart, ever the optimist, begging you to go for it. And so hesitation is inevitable. But we can learn to expect, recognise and cast away that fear. As 95% of the time it’s totally irrational. Its unfounded thoughts created in a bid to keep you safe. But you see, ultimately, security leads to stagnation. To decay. But following your heart leads to wonderment. And truth. So allow your fear to point you towards your future triumph. Because the best memories are made in those three seconds of bravery. 

Going in for that kiss. Clicking send on that email. Booking that flight. Exclaiming ‘I quit’. In one moment, with one courageous decision, your life can do a 180-degree turn. And the best part? The possibility for powerful change is always available! Because reality holds within it infinite opportunities for growth. Endless openings to transcend limited projections. And dive into the truth of your being.

Looked at the right way, life really is the most extraordinary platform. As with just one word your future self can end up thanking you forever. So say yes to something that scares you today. Say yes to the happiness you deserve. Say yes to life!"

A fantastic and thought-provoking piece by a close friend of mine, Zac Dempsey.
