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.

So that’s what I learned in improv.

The thought manifests the word;
~ Juan Mascaro
The word manifests the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character;
So watch the thought and its ways with care.
