Quitting by Lance Armstrong

I just saw this Epic Inspirational Scene from the movie Dodgeball.

Check it out:

Once I thought of quittin’, when I had brain, lung and testicular cancer at the same time.

But with the support of my friends I got back on the bike and I won the Tour de France five times in a row.

But I’m sure you have a good reason to quit.

Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn’t have anything to regret for the rest of their life.

But good luck to you Peter. I’m sure this decision won’t haunt you forever.

Look me in the eyes

No Excuses Motivation

No Excuses Motivation. Here are a couple of youtube inspirational videos that may make you think.

How Bad do you want it? Are you willing to seek out the best trainers? To work hard? Are you willing to endure the pain success requires? Are you willing to drag yourself up from the bottom to the top and do whatever it takes?

All excuses are bullsh*t.

So check these out

Pain is only temporary

Great little speech on pain when improving one’s self…

The Day That Turns Your Life Around

Here’s the legend Jim Rohn again with another inspirational video for you.

Check it out

Network (1976)

The movie Network (1976) is quite an interesting movie. I was initially inclined to watch this after I saw the Zeitgeist – which shows parts of this movie.

I did enjoy this movie, however I wouldn’t really say that this is one of the most inspirational movies I’ve saw. There are better, but I think it’s worth seeing it at least once since there are parts of this movie that can be really inspirational to think differently or motivational.

I’ll post some of these parts here as an example.

Check these out.

And here’s the trailer if you want to check it out.

I believe this movie wasn’t explicitly made to be inspirational. So it has everything – a little bit of romance, drama and some motivation. I didn’t like how it ended though, but you’ll have to see that for yourself :)

The Price of Invulnerability

Hey all. How are you doing?

Happy New Year! I wanted to post this video of a TED Talk by Brené Brown on The Price of Invulnerability. I know I’ve already posted another video on vulnerability by this same speaker and this is a wonderful addition to that.

Check it out.

TEDxKC talk synopsis: In our anxious world, we often protect ourselves by closing off parts of our lives that leave us feeling most vulnerable. Yet invulnerability has a price. When we knowingly or unknowingly numb ourselves to what we sense threatens us, we sacrifice an essential tool for navigating uncertain times — joy. This talk will explore how and why fear and collective scarcity has profoundly dangerous consequences on how we live, love, parent, work and engage in relationships — and how simple acts can restore our sense of purpose and meaning.

Jim Rohn – Do the Best You Possibly Can

The Girl Who Silenced The World For 5 Minutes

Severn Cullis-Suzuki is the girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes. She addressed a UN Meeting on issue of environment.

I don’t think this as one of the inspirational movies type but, if we look at what this 12 year old girl did, then yes, of course it is. So many people have so many excuses why they can’t do something in their lives, and yet, now, we see this 12 year old girl raise money on her own and get to speak in front of a UN meeting.

And what a speech! If a child can achieve this…

The Power of Words – Morgan Freeman

Amnesty International supporters have used the power of words to demand freedom and justice for countless human rights defenders around the world. Our words are proof that when you stand up for human rights, you never stand alone.
