EVERYBODY DIES, BUT NOT EVERYBODY LIVES

It is not death most people are afraid of. It is getting to the [end] of life only to realize that you never truly lived There was a study [done] a hospital study on 100 elderly people Facing death close to their last breath they were asked to reflect about their life's biggest regret Nearly all of them said they regreted not the things they did But the things they didn't do The risks they never took the dreams. The dreams they didn't pursue I ask you, will your last words be, " If only I had..." Hey, you wake up. Why do you exist? Life is not meant to simply work wait for the weekend and pay rent No, no, I don't know much, but I know this every person on this earth has a gift and [I] apologize to the Black community But I can no longer pretend Martin Luther King that [man] never had a dream That dream had him See people don't choose dreams dreams choose them so [the] question. I'm getting to is do you have the courage to grab the dream that picked you that [befits] you and grips you Or will you let it get away and slip through? You know I learned the fact about airplanes the other day now This was this was so surprised and see I was talking to a pilot and he told me that many of his Passengers think planes are dangerous to fly in But he said actually it is a lot more dangerous for a plane to stay on the ground Say what like how does that sound well? He said he said because on the ground the plane starts to rust Malfunction and wear, much faster than it ever would if it was in the air as I walked away, I thought yeah makes total sense Because planes were built to live in the skies and every person was built to live out the dream they have inside So it is perhaps the saddest loss to live a life on the ground without ever taking off See most of us are afraid of the thief that comes in the night to steal all of our things But there is a thief in your mind who is after your dreams? His name is doubt if you see him call the cops and keep him away from the kids [cuz] he is wanted [for] murder for he is killed more dreams than failure ever did He wears many disguises and like a virus will leave you blinded divided and turn you into a kinda See kinda is lethal You know what kinda is it's a lot of kind of people You kinda want a career change you kinda want to get straight A's you kinda want to get in shape. Simple math no numbers to crunch if you kind of want something that you will kinda get the results you want What is your dream? What ignites that spark you can't kind of want that you I wanted with every part of your whole heart will you struggle? Yeah. Yeah, you will struggle. No way around it, you will fall many times, but who's counting just remember? There's no such thing as a smooth Mountain if you want to make it to the top then there are sharp ridges that must be stepped over There will be times you get stressed and things you get depressed over, but let me tell you something Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school three times Three times, but he kept going the television execs fired oprah said she wasn't fit for TV But she kept going critics told beyonce that she couldn't sing she went through depression, but she kept going Struggle and criticisms are prerequisites for greatness. That is the law of this universe and no one escapes it Because pain is life, but you can choose what type either the pain on the road to success or the pain of being haunted with regret You want my advice? Don't think twice [we] have been given a gift that we call life so don't blow it You are not defined by your [past] instead you are born anew in each moment, so own it now Sometimes you got a leap and grow your wings on the way down [you] [better] get this shot off before the clock runs out because they know over time in life No, do-over, and I know I sound like I'm preaching on speaking with Force, but if you don't use your gift Then you say, oh not only yourself, but the whole world sure So what invention that you have buried in your mind? What idea? What cure? What skill? Do you have inside to bring out to this universe? Uni meaning one, verse meaning song, you have a part to play in this song. So grab that Microphone and be Brave [sing] Your heart out on life stage You cannot go back and make a [Brand-new] beginning But you [can] start now and make a brand new ending.

Pain is inevitable in life, but you get to choose one of the two types of pain.

The pain of dicipline or the pain of disappointment.

I like it.

But I don't think it's easy to do make these inspirational videos without being pretentious af.

[u/BlatantBravado]

Wow.

[u/cruyff8]

My favourite motivational video. Warning -- it's an advert.

[u/lost12]

Okay.. so who is going to make that North Face backpack he's got on his back? Or the video camera that was used to record that?

[u/sophmel]

Thank you for sharing this.

What location(s) was this filmed at?

The black sand beaches look like southern Iceland, but I don't know for sure.

[u/zorosherman]

Great

Thank you. I can't believe that I actually teared up a little when the music started kicking into high gear.
