I come across these fantastic motivational videos that I love- and then promptly forget. Till I see it again.

I plan to update some of the best ones I see that I find motivating. To make it more relevant- I am also summarizing the key content from these videos that you can use to summarize the entire video into key learning points.

  • Believe in the Possible: Always remember, nothing should be called “unbelievable”. Embrace the extraordinary and give credit to yourself and others for achievements. You can achieve great things, so believe in them.
  • Acknowledge Life’s Hardships: Life isn’t easy or fair, and it’s important to recognize this. Don’t see yourself as a victim; instead, tackle challenges head-on. Overcoming obstacles is part of your growth.
  • Value Effort and Struggle: Most rewarding experiences come from hard work. Don’t shy away from breaking a sweat for what you want. The effort you put in makes the achievement all the more satisfying.
  • Embrace Discomfort: Stick with your journey, even through uncomfortable times. It’s in these moments that you learn the most about yourself and grow stronger.
  • Find Joy in Your Purpose: Happiness is fleeting, but joy is constant. Find joy in doing what you’re meant to do, not just in the outcomes of your actions.
  • Define Your Identity: Understand who you are by recognizing what you are not. Self-discovery is a process of elimination, leading to a clearer sense of identity.
  • Redefine Success: Success isn’t just about money or fame. Define what success means to you, whether it’s family, helping others, or personal growth. Stay true to your definition.
  • Maintain Your Integrity: Make choices that align with who you are and who you want to be. Avoid anything that compromises your character. Remember, integrity is key to true success.
  • Understand the Power of Responsibility: Embrace responsibility as a path to freedom. The choices we make shape our future, so make decisions that build a life you’re proud of.
  • Courage Leads to Growth: Be brave and face your fears. With courage, you’ll find yourself getting stronger, more aware, and more respectful of yourself and your journey.

Living a purposeful life – Stories that inspire (#001)

Posted by in Attitude, Coaching, Leadership, Motivation

Story & picture taken from Twitter (X)- https://twitter.com/fopminui/status/1736157563807318119

Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was a few meters from the finish line, but got confused by the signals and stopped, thinking he had finished the race. The Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realising what was happening in front of him, began shouting for the Kenyan to keep running. Motai did not know Spanish and did not understand.

Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory.

One reporter asked Evan, “Why did you do this?” Evan replied, “My dream is that one day we can have the kind of community life that pushes ourselves and others to win as well.” “But why did you let the Kenyan win?” the reporter insisted. Evan replied, “I didn’t let him win; he would win. It was his race.”

The reporter insisted and asked again, “But you could have won!” Evan looked at him and replied, “But what is the merit of my victory? What is the honour of this medal? What will my mother think?”

Values ​​are passed on from generation to generation. What values ​​do we teach our children and to what extent do they inspire others to earn them? Most of us take advantage of people’s weaknesses rather than helping to strengthen them.

Small victories..

Posted by in Motivation

Tough day?

Going through tough times?

I find these messages very relevant for me. Don’t wait for the big wins. Don’t wait for those game-changing plays.

Life is not always about winning big- every time.

Celebrate even small victories.

Sending out that long pending mail. Completing that long outstanding claim!

Just celebrate after every small action. Every act is a small victory.
