Don’t Waste Your Life – Best Motivational Video
so you’re stepping onto a rocket ship
leaving planet Earth and you have one
message to give to the world before you
take off what is it for me it’s an easy
one it’s that life is not as serious as
we make it out to be it’s the most
important thing I’ve learned and perhaps
the simplicity of that message might
make people a little uneasy or take them
by surprise right how exactly is it
helpful well I’ll explain waking up
everyday is not an obligation or
requirement it’s not another test or or
make-or-break audition to impress those
around you it’s a gift it’s a challenge
it’s something to be explored if the
odds of being alive living breathing or
one in four hundred trillion you’ve won
you have as you sit or stand right now
already done the miraculous so why not
cash in why not live push boundaries to
live scared to play safe or do nothing
with your life is like winning the
lottery and keeping that bag full of
cash under your bed for the rest of your
life because you’re scared of what could
happen to it
it defeats the purpose entirely and I’m
not exaggerating this mentality has
changed my life if I lose who cares if
people laugh who cares but to swallow my
pride and be broke for a few years who
cares if I’m the unsure one the one who
doesn’t know what the immediate future
looks like fine who cares I’ll take the
upside I’ll take the fun the hard work
in the adventure I talk about this all
the time I’ll never forget walking into
this bar with my friends six years ago
now I just left my job didn’t I remember
I’m talking to this girl at the bar
story time here and she asks me what I
do for a living because of course she
does and you know I tell her I just left
my job I got this really cool idea for a
YouTube channel I think it’s gonna be
incredible and I’ll never forget how
fast that combo shut down I blink and
she walked away and I thought you know
what this is perfect I’m gonna remember
that it’s probably for the rest of my
life why because it’s a symbol it’s a
sign that the immediate is what stops us
from the best things down the road
leaving my job as hard as that maybe one
or two years stretch was was the best
thing I’ve ever done I am living
exponentially better than I was before I
had the courage to make that move Seve
life is about not screwing up then yes
I’m still in that cubicle getting yelled
at for including too much color in my
powerpoint presentations but that’s not
what life is life is opportunity not
hiding so that you don’t lose no it’s
about making something where you are
with what you have and my friends there
is so much out there there is a win on
the other side of every door you walk
through even when it’s hard to see right
now is the perfect time to be talking
about this a little crazy coronavirus
has people being quarantined everyone
freaking out guys take a step back and
find the opportunity I just read the
other day Shakespeare wrote King Lear
when he was being quarantined because of
the plague there is always a winner used
the time find solutions maybe you’ve
always wanted to start a business wait
take a small step create the business
page on Facebook do something small get
the ball rolling see when life is a game
you’re finding ways to win why do all
these entrepreneurs talk about the
hardship they’ve encountered before they
found
because they knew that losses wouldn’t
define them but in life just like in a
game you win and you lose but what
happens is the repetition you get better
and better and the winds start
accumulating becoming more substantial
and consistent see most decisions and
let’s say worst case scenario you take
the leaf and things implode let’s just
be dramatic for a second everything goes
wrong loss loss loss loss the reality is
99% of your decisions they’re reversible
if you don’t get the intended result you
can backpedal and adjust you know what’s
irreversible though in action you know
what you can’t improve upon steps you’ve
never taken you can’t be propelled by
dreams that are hanging out in your head
living scared is looking at yourself in
the mirror and saying I hope nothing
goes wrong today living fully is looking
in the mirror and saying I’m going to
make something significant today I’m
going to take risks I’m going to find
solutions I’m going to propel myself
forward so that as I make my way onto
this rocket ship would be my message
stop playing to avoid losing and start
playing to win life is not serious it’s
not a standardized test it’s a blank
page waiting for a story
and stories are written by the bulb the
risk takers the ones who stopped wishing
and go out and make things happen
wrong actions can be corrected improved
upon but life through a lens of scarcity
is a sealed faith so how about living
like this is the only life you have like
each day is a metaphorical currency that
you can’t take with you to your grave it
must be spent it must be cherished and
utilized
fully so here’s to not only dreaming but
finding the courage to delve headfirst
into a journey so great that no stone is
left unturned no days without the magic
of your creation because the life is
serious it is a serious opportunity to
live fully and nothing less
