The BIG Secret Nobody Wants To Tell

A talk by Bruce Muzik – The BIG Secret Nobody Wants To Tell. Very interesting insight about the hidden lies we all tell ourselves and to others and how it can deteriorate our relationships and our life.

It’s A Wonderful Life (1946)

I’ve started looking in some older inspirational movies. This black & white movie really is a gem. You should check it out. An angel helps a compassionate but despairingly frustrated businessman by showing what life would have been like if he never existed.

Here is the trailer:

You could find it to rent it if you search for it, but I have also found it posted on YouTube.
Check it out (the full movie):

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

The Day That Turns Your Life Around

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

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 BrenĂ© 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.
