CHASE YOUR DREAMS – New Motivational Video Compilation 2020
the people who dream and those people
who dream big have a different kind of
life than the people who don’t drink if
you do not do what you’re doing right
now well your goal is just going to be a
fancy desire isn’t it whether it’s fear
or anxiety whatever it may be I believe
that every single person is going out to
chase their dreams has those voices in
their head I think it’s part of the
human experience
stay strong have faith keep pushing
through I’ve said this before and and
I’m living proof of it is that on the
other side of your struggle is something
good on your other side of your struggle
is something better on the other side of
your struggle is some sort of success so
I’m here to tell you today you can have
anything you want be anyone you want but
you’re gonna have to work see dreams
aspirations they’re not easily attained
but one of the hardest things to do is
to keep going is to keep chasing you
don’t realize your dreams are so
important because your DNA who you are
as a person is wrapped up in your dreams
go after this thing called rights don’t
look back and have regrets understand
that you’re at a place in a position
right now when hard work and valuing
people
stop you I promise you you have got to
make a declaration this is what you
stand for you’re standing up for your
dreams you’re standing up for peace of
mind you’re standing up for health you
want it and you’re gonna go all out to
have it so your dream will cause you to
go insane because wish you want it hard
suit every single night
they won’t give you the opportunity to
go out to take keeps driving never be
seven times get up eight no matter what
happens you will not quit because
quitting is not an option because you
have a why you’re passionate of purpose
the people that are running after that
dream know they’re gonna have hard times
they keep on running because that’s same
within themselves I’m the one I’m the
one no matter how bad it is or how bad
it gets I’m going to make it amazing
your dream
this is your moment and you can look in
the mirror believe that ease is a
greater threat to progress than hardship
so take advantage of today take
advantage of tomorrow take advantage of
every opportunity that you have to do
what you want in life it’s time to
ignite the Train it’s time for you to
stop settling for just money and really
open your game up Jews require
sacrifices like my city’s expensive move
my car payments are high sell your car
and take the bus
this is Green’s we’re talking about
we’re talking about dreams
[Music]
what if things don’t end up like they’re
supposed to what if this work this
energy I’ve invested doesn’t pay off
what if I stay average
what if my story was never meant to be
unique what if I try and I fail what if
my friends stop calling what if I let my
family down what if people don’t like
what I have to say what if my idea is a
little too out there what if I’m pushing
things too far too quickly what if the
worst possible scenario happens what if
I lose everything
what if success is for someone else what
if I’m meant to work to pay bills and to
sleep what if the starting role is just
too much for me what if I was a born
follower what if I never find happiness
what if I don’t use the right path what
if I get lost
what if I can never be as good as the
person standing next to me
what if a life of meaning will always be
something I’ll have to stare up at
wishing dreaming or what if I just
change the way I look at the world what
if today is just the beginning what if I
decide who I’m going to be and becoming
what if my actions can create a ripple
effect that will transcend space and
time
what if impossible is in fact what if
it’s opinion and what if I don’t buy it
what if this new world means that
existence starts with me what if I can
be the one people look up to what if my
past got me here but has no effect on
where I can go but if every single day
is a fresh start what if I can be the
one who defies the odds but if my dreams
become the standard what if my ideas
change how people see reality what if
the term difficult is nothing more than
a cop-out what if my doubters ignite the
flame that is my success what if my fear
of mediocrity overcomes my fear of the
unknown
what if second place is no longer an
option what if I make the choice to live
in every second of my life like it’s a
miracle and what if that’s exactly what
every second is what if it’s time to
start living like it to start thinking
like it to never sell myself short what
if nothing good happens until I believe
it what if I stopped wasting my time
trying to convince others because I am
the only one who must be convinced
[Music]
Winston Churchill said the destiny of
man is not measured by material
computations when great forces around
the move in the world we learn where
spirits not animals and he said there’s
something going on in time and space and
beyond time and space which whether we
like it or not
spells duty you and I have a rendezvous
with destiny you have the capacity to
leave a lasting impact an indelible
impression upon this world it is about
becoming a master of your own destiny
as your understanding and perception of
life demons you will see everything is
in your hands all of us have something
in us that we must live and if we don’t
know what it is right now we must create
it or we must find it all of us have
this whatever this this something is
it’s trying to deep and find out what
you’re passionate about and live it like
this don’t tomorrow I don’t care what it
is I don’t care what you want to do but
do they hell out of that it takes again
hard work and it takes perseverance and
again it just takes context and it takes
perspective you got to put your stake in
the ground and go after this thing
called your future because no one’s
gonna give it to you
don’t talk about it don’t Mull it over
don’t plan for it just get after it all
of us have seen our destiny at some
point in time and we decided not to
listen we decided to ignore it you know
that’s that’s not for me life came in
and snapped inside the head and we
stopped dreaming anymore give it
everything you’ve got and if you fail
you can at least do what we tried but if
you don’t want to give 120% you not a
man it’s time to understand that if you
want to get something out of your life
you’ve got to be willing to work for it
how much are you really willing to give
you have an everlasting potential and as
long as you have a heartbeat as one of
those who have air in your lungs you
have an opportunity to change this world
change your life and live your dream
today
don’t you dare settle for anything less
than what you
yeah just make sure you make your mark
make sure you make your mark in this
world when you become what you’re
supposed to be then you gonna bless
somebody else and that’s what it’s
really all about if you don’t get
serious with what’s going on in front of
you you’re gonna fall
take the leap of faith and believe that
everything is going to be alright take
that leap of faith trust yourself
to bring go
as a human being the strongest thing
you’ve got your force of will so take
that force of will and make live your
life now live your dreams now stop
acting like this is your last day on the
ground claim the sacred spaces of your
minds and move toward that destiny with
patience perseverance and prayer
our circumstances your current
surroundings never have to dictate who
you are you’re not what your
surroundings are you are what you do and
this is the fact of the matter normal
regular people is just like you and me
can do extraordinary things and it’s not
about the glitz and the glamour and the
shine it’s not about what we have
it’s about our heart man it’s about
people you and me understanding that we
are fully capable we have the full
potential to achieve and become anything
that anybody else is and the only person
that’s gonna stop us and the only person
that’s gonna rob us is when we look in
the mirror and we compromise us too
often we as young men and women and I
was so guilty of this we only care about
the now and we will love this person who
that and what feels good here and what
feels good now and we will compromise
who we are because we want the
acceptance of the people around us and
that’s just real man
I don’t pursue profits I pursue my
purpose
as you go into the next chapter don’t
pursue profits pursue purpose don’t
pursue the profits of working and gain
things in life to suit your passions and
your purpose because what happens is a
lot of times we go on to college or go
to the next chapter and we’re only
seeking
we’re only trying to find out what we
can get what we find profits in our
lives
you didn’t take time to figure out your
why you didn’t take time to figure out
what you’re passionate about because if
you pursue your passion I promise that
passion and purpose will always produce
gains and profits slow silly emotionally
and financially men you can show me your
friends and I can tell you who you are
who you surround yourself with is it
going to affect you like it love it or
leave it if you’re surrounding yourself
with people or are not about the right
you are trying to pursue dreams and
goals and the same aspirations and the
same motivations and dedication and
determination that is you you will be
affected who used to around yourself
what matters it’s the compromise that I
care about we don’t ever have to
compromise ourselves I promise you from
the front the back the lips the right
every single one of you in here man
you were born to leave your fingerprints
on history you can achieve in the club
absolutely anything company teachers and
doctors and actors and athletes and
entertainers a musician and radios and
cardiology and cosmetology social
workers I’m telling you anything that
you want and not a teacher a counselor
nobody can stop you I know your
circumstances aren’t the best sometimes
our home environment
nobody can take it from you
I live with these three principles and I
promise you man they will change
everything about who you are
hard work works make good choices and
value people I decided ten years ago
literally when this all happened
I went to prison I wanted to be I was
like you know what I want to make this
promise I want to keep it to this family
I come from a lot of brokenness I don’t
know where to start
but what I do know is the importance of
the choices that I make and so literally
I wrote the word change the world and I
slapped it on a little prison cell
window and every single day I woke up
and I realized make good choices great
things happen aim small miss small
I promise you if some of you will just
begin to take ownership of your life and
so you feel you’re already striving and
doing phenomenal and making good choices
I would say keep going don’t give up
keep pursuing it because I promise you
every single one of you were meant to
leave your fingerprints on history but
I’m here to tell any of you in here if
you’re battling if you’re struggling
you’ve got to know when to cut and go on
about your life because you can’t be
letting people live rent-free up here
you can’t be letting people hold you
back and who you surround yourself with
matters changes in heaven by accident
change takes intentional choices to be
different and that’s just truthful today
I’m gonna get my attitude all that I got
I’m gonna give up working on my
character all that I got I want to try
to be responsible with all that I got I
want to be the best me with everything
that I got with all that I got if we can
every day look in the mirror it’s like I
don’t need to be perfect but I want to
progress today every day I’m gonna get a
little bit better I promise you
accountability and transparency will
change your life as much as you want to
sometimes isolate and be by yourself and
think that you can do this on your own
you can’t you’re not an island and you
can’t do this on your own and it yes we
got to have our good friends we need to
have those people that can encourages
but it not just on a horizontal level
there has to be a verdict
level those coaches those mentors those
people that have been through some
things in life you need them in your
life you need counselors and people in
your life that can see you and see your
blind spots because we normally in life
we will not see our blind spots make
good choices great things happen you see
every choice that I can make listen I
can’t control what you think about me I
can’t control your opinion of me I can’t
control what you say about me but I
control how I react respond and what I
do with my life
I’m in control of my life I don’t let
external factors control me I’m in
control of my life because sometimes
life can be tough life can be
challenging
and sometimes the opticals in front of
you seem like they’re too big it’s
easier just to lay down which you know
what I remember I remember when my dad
used to look at me or the kids that
listed Nathan life it’s never going to
give you anything but if you make it if
you build it nobody could take it from
you because hardwork and tenacity and
refusing to call it and chasing your
dream you’ll get
promise you maybe you don’t get it
started
you don’t snore give up you go after and
you stop terrible teens people around
you start with only having everybody
from Paris take ownership on your life
take off your mask
don’t let feeding the bear make these
choices can be your best friend
encourage somebody being a voice of hope
and inspiration this is your moment
sometimes you just have to believe in
yourself nothing can be achieved until
first it’s believed you have to believe
it to see it sometimes the easiest way
to get what you want is to just start to
just take that first step you can do and
be anything that you want no matter what
no matter what you’ve been told and
conditioned to think growing up start
from today to believe that you can we
know that we want but we don’t do
anything to actually don’t get it
all the while you’re standing around
weigh in doubting yourself telling
yourself you can’t have this and can’t
have that for whatever reason you’re
never gonna get it focus on how your
life will be Belle and what your life
will look like when you get what you
want greatness isn’t achieved by that
one massive thing you do is those tiny
little consistent flavor steps we take
every single day to add up to achieving
that goal
amazing things happen when you believe
you have something your brain actively
goes out to make adlet believe that you
can do it and work hard to get it and
it’s yours
we’re all born with the same amount of
time in a day and anything that they can
do you can do too if you want to do
something bad enough you can get it
don’t need you to believe because I can
be up here speaking and if you’re
sweating up here crying and pour my
heart out to you but if you have the
mindset like nothing is ever going to
change like some of you when they was
doing that play and they was doing that
skip some of you felt it
some of you was like wow they share my
story but there was still a little voice
in the back of your mind they say yeah
but that’s not really gonna change
oh yeah it’s easier said than done no no
no listen to me hear me louder clear
your mind said your belief system is
everything and it is so powerful
and so I came all the way from Atlanta
Georgia to tell you you were not a
mistake you are not an accident you were
here for a reason I know you’re going
through some hard times I know life at
times might feel rough or you might feel
weirder things might be frustrating but
it’s not going to always be like this
you’re conditioned it’s not your
conclusion there is so much more that’s
gonna take place there are so much more
power that’s inside you if you make up
in your mind I choose to believe that I
could do great things and I want you to
seriously think about your life I think
about where you are internally we have a
group of people in here some of you
you’re struggling yourself some of you
are just trying to get by you’ve got so
many pressures on you you want to make
your family proud you don’t say you want
to give good grades you want to make you
proud but then you also have friends and
you want to be cool in their eyes and
you want to kind of fit in there and the
summer you were in a really rare place
you feel like people don’t understand
you you feel like you’re having a hard
time to connect with people when you
wake up in the morning you feel like
you’re in the slumps and you feel tired
and drained like I get it I’ve got a
message for you right the people those
of you that’s looking for us to
acceptance from others you’re gonna have
to
you’re – oh you know what whether you
accept me or not I’m amazing I’m smart
I’m beautiful I’m talented because if
not if you live for their acceptance
you’ll die from their rejection so you
got to tell yourself you know what I
know I’m amazing and I know I’m smart
and those of you that feel like you’re
in a really weird place those of you
that feel like nobody understands you
those of you that feels like men I’m
just here but I’m not having a hard time
connecting with people you lost your
zeal you lost your passion you know you
feel like you know what’s the point of
living you feel like what you could
relate to what they were doing in the
skit here’s my advice to you don’t keep
it to yourself the worst thing that you
can do when you’re in that dark place it
should just let that thing push you off
in the corner I’m gonna challenge you to
come to the light and be bold and be
brave enough and be vulnerable enough to
say hey you know what I need help I
can’t do this by myself and you know why
I’m an advocate for that so much it’s
because of this day I’m in my 30s and I
still got counselors I mean with and I
still have counselors and therapists
that I sit down with and I have a
counselor of people that I can meet way
to connect with crazy right
so people look at me and they say are
nonprofit in South Africa they see our
repeating and closing people they see my
family my wife they see all of that and
then like all the children your life’s
just so awesome and I’m like you know
what you know life is good but I don’t
mean I don’t have struggles I don’t mean
I don’t have doubts they don’t mean that
I don’t have some insecurities that
doesn’t mean that you know I don’t
sometime question like man I am I didn’t
that’s some time I still hear that voice
some time I go back to like being that
little boy in the hallway that ever
heard that teacher tell my mom that I
was a high school material and I have to
remind myself like no no no no no that
that no does that’s not true I am that I
can’t do that I can’t achieve that
sometime I have to remind myself what am
I telling you like life can be hard life
can be rough but there’s something
special and there’s something powerful
about the human mind and about the human
spirit and about the human will when you
tell yourself I won’t give up I won’t
surrender I won’t quit I’m gonna sort of
every single day and do the best that I
can and here’s the beautiful thing about
you is why you’re going through your
process and why you’re trying to
navigate these waters and while you’re
still you know trying to tweak some
stuff within yourself you still got the
power to save somebody else’s life you
got the power to speak up for others you
got the power to be the voice of reason
for someone who might be on the verge of
doing something they shouldn’t do you
have the power of saying hey I saw this
going on I know this isn’t right
you have the power to put your arm
around somebody that might be in a
really rough place you have the power
when you see that person sitting by
yourself in the cafeteria you slide over
by them even if they make you feel like
you’re weird that’s fine because they’re
gonna go home and they’re gonna think
like wow somebody actually saw me
somebody actually set by me like you
have the power to compliment someone and
say hey I like those kicks or I like
your hair or I like your style like you
have the power to brighten somebody’s
day your words are powerful your energy
is powerful and so I don’t know what you
want to think that you have to have it
all together and everything for you has
to be perfect in order for you to be a
leader
you can make an impact you can make a
difference you can save somebody’s life
right now by you just being
unapologetically you and you’re walking
in that calling and you speak light and
you affirm and you in the other snow I
see you and now with you and I got your
back and you’re not by yourself and I
will hold your hand as you go throughout
this journey and even though I’m
struggling I don’t mind fighting on
behalf of you we’re gonna figure this
thing out together so the reality is
that the whole point of all of this is
to find that door amongst the other 999
doors that you’re going to leave open
and you’re gonna shut all the other ones
it’s more about the things you’re going
to not do than it is about the thing
that you’re going to do if you’re not
willing to make changes the sad truth is
they’re gonna continue to be unhappy and
unfulfilled but right now you’re wasting
it by falling into bad habits and you
get stuck in this daily weekly monthly
routine it’s been a tough year man in
the last ten months both my granddad’s
died in dealing with the grief of losing
these really important people in my life
I come to one proper important
conclusion how lucky I am to be alive
when I think about them and how they
were literally just there like yesterday
yesterday I could have seen them touch
them cuddled them and the next day boom
gone in the blink of an eye at a click
of a finger have you ever lost someone
like do you guys actually have any idea
how lucky you are seriously put it into
perspective
everywhere you look there are people
just moaning up again and take him for
granted that they are alive
oh man I hate my job the weather is
terrible I’m sick of it
I wish I’d you have to travel as much
bla bla bla
you’re alive man wake up whenever you
find yourself moaning about life
do what losing my Grandad’s has taught
me to do and quickly and aggressively
remind yourself that you are alive and
always always end up smiling
because you could be dead as CS Lewis
said hardships often prepare ordinary
people for an extraordinary destiny
people look at their past to decide who
they are people look at their past to
decide who they can be
but the problem is oftentimes people
mistake difficulties suffering pain for
being bad being less than being broken
and it erodes their sense of self-esteem
it erodes their sense of self-worth but
nothing could be more opposite from the
truth because in reality no matter what
you’ve gone through no matter how hard
it was all of it was shaping you into
the person that you can become the
hardships the difficulties the pain the
suffering all of that makes you tougher
it is literally in the difficulties that
you begin to find just how much you’re
capable of it’s in the suffering that
you find out how resilient you are it’s
in the pain that you can rise up and get
tough and all of that is gonna serve you
as you move forward but you have to know
how to frame it you have to know how to
think about it you have to know that
whatever you’ve been through that all of
it is an opportunity to learn all of it
is an opportunity to grow all of it is
an opportunity to get better but you
have to use it to shape yourself you
have to lean into it you have to know
that the pain and the suffering all of
it is serving you but if you’re telling
yourself a story that diminishes you if
you’re telling yourself a story that bad
things have happened to me or I’ve done
bad things and that makes me a bad
person the none of it is going to help
you and you’re always going to move
backwards and it’s gonna be this stress
and this pressure that’s pushing you
backwards instead if you can put it
behind you said it pushes you forward it
propels you to be more than no matter
what’s happened to you you can become
something truly extraordinary
and as David Livingstone said I’ll go
anywhere provided it before word so even
when you’re making mistakes even when
you’re falling down if in that you can
see that it’s an opportunity it’s a
lesson it’s something that you’ve
learned even when you’re running and you
stumble and you trip and you scrape
yourself all across the pavement you’re
still moving forward
as long as you get back up dust yourself
off and keep going it doesn’t matter
that you fell it doesn’t matter that you
embarrass yourself it doesn’t matter
that you made a mistake or that you look
stupid none of that matters the only
thing that matters is how do you think
about it do you let it be something that
moves you backwards or do you recognize
at least it was momentum at least you
were going at least you tried at least
you were putting your energy into
something at least you were willing to
take a risk and that’s where most people
fail they’re never willing to put
themselves out there because they don’t
see the momentum they don’t see the
forward movement they only see the
failure
it really is that easy and I know that
you’ve heard this a thousand times I
know that people are telling you all the
time that failure is a part of the
learning process but so is the voice
that says you’re a so is the voice that
tells you that you’re unworthy but it’s
up to you to decide to ignore that voice
it’s up to you to prove that voice wrong
it’s up to you to love yourself and yes
I know that’s easier said than done and
yes I know each and every one of us has
to do things to be worthy of loving
ourselves we have to take that leap of
faith we have to be willing to look at
our inadequacies we have to be willing
to get up and do ourselves a service we
have to be willing to serve ourselves
and you do owe yourself that and you do
have to take action and you do have to
be proactive but if you do that you
don’t need extraordinary accomplishments
you just need to know that you’re trying
you need to know that when you fall
you’re gonna get back up you need to
know that you’ll keep pushing forward
you need to know that you won’t give up
even if you’ve given up in the past and
once you know that about yourself once
you know that every day is a date an
opportunity to reinvent yourself that’s
all you need to believe in that’s all
you need to build that self-worth is to
tell yourself you’re gonna do something
better today than you did yesterday
that’s it it doesn’t need to be grand it
doesn’t need to be extraordinary it
simply needs to be a commitment to
yourself
if you commit to yourself if you commit
to love your self despite everything
that’s happened to you despite
everything you’ve done your life can be
beautiful but it starts with a decision
to move forward
