Inspiration & Motivation

I’ve gathered together a few videos from Youtube to help us all remember what we’re capable of doing when we’re focused and determined to achieve our dreams and goals.

We all have those moments of despair when nothing seems to be working, but when the seeds have been sown you can never stop trying. Failure only becomes reality when you’ve given up.

So, when you feel like that come back to this page and watch, listen and feel what others, who have achieved their goals, have gone through and realise you’re not alone with your battles.

We all have those inner conflicts of doubt…so FIGHT THEM!!...and NEVER let go of YOUR dreams!

As a result of trawling the net or someone sending me an email I come across stories which either inspire me or bring tears to my eyes. The story about Randy Pausch did both…

He was a Carnegie Mellon computer science professor and passed away 25th July 2008 at the age of 47 from pancreatic cancer.

Randy became famous for his inspirational Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams delivered in September 2007.

Many professors give talks entitled “The Last Lecture” in which they are asked to imagine that this would indeed be their ‘last lecture’ and to convey the most important things they’ve learned during their lives.

Professor Pausch didn’t have to imagine the scenario.

He was one month into a cancer diagnosis that gave him only 3-6 months to live… and yet his lecture wasn’t the least bit sad, depressing or about dying.

It was about making the most of every second you’ve got while on the planet.

A video of the lecture was posted to YouTube which you can see
here.

His story about pouring the drink on the back seat of his car was the best example I’ve ever heard of “balance.” To see what I mean
watch this video at the Oprah show


Battle in the Kruger


This amazing sequence is a once in a lifetime viewing. How the calf managed to evade death beats me! In a way it's inspiring...the calf didn't give up and neither did the herd...very unusual.


Tony Robbins & The Rocky Story


Keep The Hunger!! Never give up and when people say "you can't do that" what they really mean is they couldn't do it! Proves you should never listen to others…just follow your dream.
I love the part where Stallone is determined to get his dog back.
