Take A Few Minutes To Be Inspired

When I watched this video, I am reminded of certain timeless truths —

Nelson Mandela wrote “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

Winston Churchill yelled “Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.”

Finally, I am also reminded of Walter D. Wintle’s poem:

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t!
If you’d like to win, but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch that you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the state of mind!

If you think you’re outclassed, you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself
Before you can win the prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the strongest or fastest man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can!

Thanks for sharing this video Chris. That was awesome and mind blowing.

These are the folks I want coming to my rescue in times of dire distress – I hope they are all EMTs and soldiers.

I am pondering the part about “our confidence gives others permission to be confident” (or however that was stated). Lots of petty people out there waiting to slap down those who have success. That causes the successful to question themselves, their motives, their humility.

I want to hold to that truth when I am tempted to hold back.
