Listen To This and Change Yourself || Motivational Speech 2020
it is not the things we do in life that
we regret on our deathbed it is the
things we do not we don’t beat the
reaper by living longer we beat the
reaper by living well and living fully
for the reaper will come for all of us
the question is what do we do between
the time were born and the time he shows
up you can’t connect the dots looking
forward you can only connect them
looking backwards so you have to trust
that the dots will somehow connect in
your future you have to trust in
something your gut destiny life karma
whatever because believing that the dots
will connect down the road will give you
the confidence to follow your heart even
when it leads you off the well-worn path
and that will make all the difference
and you will need to find your passion
many of you have already done it and
many of you will later many of you may
take till your 30s or 40s but don’t give
up on finding it right because then all
you’re doing is waiting for the realer
sometimes life’s going to hit you in the
head with a brick don’t lose faith
I’m convinced that the only thing that
kept me going was that I loved what I
did you’ve got to find what you love and
that is this true for work as it is for
your lovers your work is going to fill a
large part of your life and the only way
to be truly satisfied is to do what you
believe is great work and the only way
to do great work is to love what you do
if you haven’t found it yet keep looking
and don’t settle as with all matters of
the heart you’ll know when you find it
and like any great relationship it just
gets better and better as the years roll
on so keep looking don’t settle find
your passion and follow it and if there
is anything I have learned in my life
you will not find that passion and
things and you will not find that
passion in money
because the poor things and the more
money you have the more you will just
look around and use that as the metric
and there will always be someone
for the past 33 years I’ve looked in the
mirror every morning and asked myself if
today were the last day of my life would
I want to do what I am about to do today
and whenever the answer has been known
for too many days in a row I know I need
to change them remembering that all be
dead soon is the most important tool
I’ve ever encountered to help me make
the big choices in life because almost
everything all external expectations all
pride all fear of embarrassment or
failure these things just fall away in
the face of death leaving only what is
truly important remembering that you are
going to die is the best way I know to
avoid the trap of thinking you have
something to lose you are already naked
there is no reason not to follow you
no one wants to die even people who want
to go to heaven don’t want to die to get
there
and yet death is the destination we all
share no one has ever escaped and that
is as it should be because death is very
likely the single best invention of life
your time is limited so don’t waste it
living someone else’s life
don’t be trapped by Dogma which is
living with the results of other
people’s thinking don’t let the noise of
others opinions drown out your own inner
voice and most important have the
courage to follow your heart and
intuition they somehow already know what
you truly want to become everything else
is secondary
because when he shows up it’s too late
to do all the things that you’re always
gonna kind of get around to stay hungry
stay foolish
