WHEN IT HURTS – Best Motivational Speech 2020
whenever life will start getting good
for me God would throw a nice anchor it
stopped me right there do it anyway
is a mindset trick that you can use when
you start to feel excuses rolling up the
one you need to live with wake up to
every day is that right there
okay beat the Sun up folks you got to
beat the Sun up if you can’t beat up the
roll up of the Sun up you’re gonna get
beat up in life and whenever you find
things that you’re comfortable doing
you’re going away from the journey of
life I feel like most people in their
lives are being allowed to live small
you’re allowed to live a small light
everyone around you would like you to
live small just do this you’re good at
that man take it easy chill wins enough
enough like you
and all these message
wife’s not a big needle live small enjoy
it she’ll smoke a little weed if
everyone Walker it like it’s just this
get by fan like there’s got to be some
evil no no you’re supposed to do
something great with your life you were
put here for a purpose your way
you and raise your background your
experiences your giftedness all prepare
you
right now and you’re supposed to do
something great with your life you
weren’t fooling here to be average and
ordinary and there’s all this messaging
that your average and ordinary and your
average story cuz you go out in there
and it’s probably someone else’s fault
your average an ordinary
no it’s your life you
no one else’s fault and you supposed to
do something magnificent that’s the
consciousness aspect the last thousand
years on earth
supposed to be something great
supposed to live disease we’re supposed
to watch them cheer for them wear their
Jersey watch their award show comment on
their posts clean their houses right
feed them in their restaurants no the
fact of the matter is you can do those
things you can change your life and I’m
sick and tired of this hero worship you
live small cheer for everybody else you
lose big know if you’re a school teacher
be the best new teacher change the world
affected if you’re on social media
change the workplane bait
if your decision to do the bigger thing
in the smaller thing that’s what I would
tell you stop playing small stop making
small and don’t let anybody tell you you
should be small so listen to me there
those of you said I want to be a
millionaire I want to be the best that
just caught me right but your value
system says you believe in sleep what
are you believe in grinding your value
system says you are a consumer and that
will produce her that you’re spending
more money being your main key why
because you’re concerned with you you’re
reading all the books and you’re saying
everything the books to say but those
books are not in alignment with your
values and you’re going to go to the
next level your values of a master
change what if I told you this was the
last Monday morning of your life what if
I told you you died this week would you
complain about your crap job or that
test you don’t want to take I doubt it
do you go much higher level thinking
well that’s really what it takes it
takes understanding that if you’re not
pumped right now if you’re crunching
what you’re about to do it here if
you’re not looking forward to it look I
respect practicality you got to go
through school because your parents want
to you got to pay your rent you got
student loans I get it but please
recognize the world we’re living in
we’re living in a world where is so much
more opportunity this internet thing
created way more opportunity for all of
us way more I mean look you might not
even be alive like your mom and dad
could have had sex like three minutes
later and you wouldn’t even exist and
you’re complaining
you could ended up being
three I just don’t get the mentality of
being head down sad on a Monday morning
I’m gonna make you Saturday Monday
morning that’s what I want to do every
morning and that’s what I want from you
please take a step back and think about
how awesome it actually is and then
recognize that you can attack the world
in a totally different way because you
are lucky enough to be born during this
era so you have said to yourself okay
I’m gonna talk to my boss today about
that thing that I’ve been avoiding
talking to them about or maybe you’ve
said something like I’m gonna go to the
gym today or tomorrow whatever and then
the moment comes where you’ve got to
have that conversation where the moment
comes where it’s time to pack up your
bag and leave your desk and go to the
gym and what always happens you don’t
feel like it
there are plenty of you watching that
have made a commitment that yeah I’m not
gonna have a drink tonight and then
guess what happens when you get home you
don’t feel like not drinking you feel
like having a drink and so here’s what
doing em anyway has done for me
the idea that I just do it anyway has
pushed me to realize and to recognize
that there are a lot of moments when
there are things in my life that I
really want to do
I need to do I should do but when the
moment comes I don’t feel like it and so
I pull out this idea of you know what
I’m just gonna do it anyway it’s raining
outside
I said I would go for a short run I
don’t feel like it I’m gonna do it
anyway it’s six o’clock in the morning
I’m tired it’s cold I laid out my yoga
clothes but now I don’t feel like it
what do I do I do it anyway when you
start to say to yourself I’m gonna do it
anyway what happens is something really
cool you acknowledge that there are
feelings that you have that are trying
to swoop in and hijack you you
acknowledge them and you basically say
guess what I’m gonna do it anyway
problems are basically the building
block of happiness and that is really
counterintuitive the most people because
most people think of happiness is like
no problems you know sitting on the
beach with a pina colada doing whatever
and but the truth is that we need we
need some sort of struggle in our life
and the point I try to make in the book
is that the key to living a good life
isn’t getting rid of struggle it’s
finding good struggles struggles that
invigorate you struggles that feel
important to you struggles that can
contribute to the people around you
because that’s where meaning comes from
and ultimately meaning is you know what
we all need if people listening to this
like feel stuck in some way generally
when people feel stuck it’s because
they’re in a situation where they
believe that they don’t have the power
to solve whatever’s going on in their
life and the truth is that you always
have the power to a reacts to whatever’s
going on your life or be
create the meaning around whatever is
happening in your life so it’s usually
just a matter of first changing
perspective and then be doing something
to set about solving it and again it’s
what gets people stuck is that they just
they want to eliminate their problems
it’s not about eliminating problems it’s
about simply finding something more
meaningful more worthwhile obviously he
was about as successful as as anyone
could be I mean he was a successful guy
in so many aspects and yet and yet he
killed himself he said in this book I
wanted adventures I wanted to go up the
known river to the heart of darkness in
Cambodia I wanted to ride out into a
desert on Camelback sand and dunes in
every direction eat whole roasted lamb
with my fingers I wanted to kick snow
off my boots in a Mafia nightclub in
Russia I wanted to play with automatic
weapons in pnom pen recapture the past
in a small boy stur village in France
step into a seedy neon-lit Boqueria
in rural Mexico I wanted to run
roadblocks in the middle of the night
blowing past angry militia with a
handful of hurled marble packs
experience fear excitement wonder I
wanted kicks the kind of melodramatic
thrills and chills
I earned for since childhood the kind of
adventure I’d found as a little boy in
the pages of my Tintin comic books I
wanted to see the world and I want
world to be just like the movies that’s
what Anthony Bourdain said just like the
movies but you know what to me the world
does not like the movies the movies are
real they they don’t exist but you do
and life this life is it’s better than
any movie there is movies are supposed
to provoke emotion they’re supposed to
make you feel something but I have a
better idea go out into the world and
actually feel it go feel joy and love
and triumph and rapture and ecstasy and
Chloe don’t feel those things and you
know with those feelings there will be
other feelings as well there’ll be
sorrow and pain and sadness and
desolation and suffering there’ll be all
those feelings too but you know what
that’s okay that’s okay take both sides
feel all that that’s what life is those
feelings those emotions those highs and
those lows those are life
