Mr. Harvey explains that at some point we go through something that makes us wan to give up. There are two options: quit or keep pushing through. However, if you decide to quit it is guaranteed that it will never happen. This is very powerful to me because I have encountered so many moments where I was ready to just stop pursuing my dreams because of the obstacles that are being thrown at me. The only thing to keep me going is because I don't want to live with any "what if's" like "what if I kept going?" or "what if I just tried one more time?" It is better to fight for what you want even if it tough rather than to simply not try. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YQVBPGj7gK4

I chose to share this video from Youtube because I was nicknamed The Beast was I was little due to playing sports and I always stuck to listening to videos about Beast mode mentally. I enjoy this video because it is short, but it gets to me. Mt favorite part is how it talks about turning the switch on and going and getting what we want. This video is meant to inspired you in any situation, it is about not just talking about our dreams but getting up and going for it. Success and greatness is never on sale, we have to pay the full price and more sometimes to get what we want, but its about not giving up and staying in Beast Mode. We need to work and allow for the problems to be a part of the journey, but dont let it haunt you, you need to go after it and not run away from what we are afraid of. We need to slay what we want and getting up early. We got to sleep when done not when we are tired. My favorite quote is that everyone wants to be a beast until they have to do what beast do. I feel that this goes to show that all people speak of wanting to be better, but its those who actually take action that do what true beast do. I love watching these types of videos before a gym session, big exam, and even when I am feeling down and need that reminder that what I am doing is for a reason and I need to keep pushing forward. I also love to listen to motivational podcasts as well that help me clear my mind and allow me to connect with my inner self to keep moving forward even on the bad days and to enjoy the feeling of the goods ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=043IcZcNeao Hi my name is Kassandra Rodríguez.

I decided on this speech to put it as my motivational video because personally it is one of my favorite speeches. It resonates with me a lot because I am an over-thinker and am constantly thinking about the future. But when I watch this video it reminds me to live one day at a time and allow things to unfold by themselves. Not only this but to pause sometimes and to genuinely enjoy the present moment as I am only young once and will never get to experience these moments again. Overall it motivates and reminds me to keep going no matter how rough things might get because things can only get better from here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2-bjGkcaJI

I grew up admiring Kobe and his work. When he passed away, it was really hard for me. That was the first time I had cried for a celebrity. I liked his heart and work ethic. When I was feeling down and out, I would listen to some of his speeches and it was go time. Not only that but playing basketball that’s who I wanted to be like. In all honesty I learned discipline because of that man. https://youtu.be/xd-9D3GzUpo?si=-sV_y03I3t4yXdYx Alex Rocha here and the video I chose is a Kobe Bryant Video.

This video really resonated with me because he started off with a very interesting hook. He is basically trying to get us to the conclusion that God wakes us up each morning for a specific reason. If we don't wake up that means there is nothing waiting for us. Since we do wake up there will be something out there for us. We just need to figure out what's out there waiting for us. Imagination is innovation and it gives us a preview into what life can become. Without imagination we would be unable to set goals for ourselves. We wouldn't have a future we built in our minds to desire. Imagination is like an artist with his muse, he uses this as inspiration to complete the painting. Our future is waiting for us, we just have to seize it. https://youtu.be/TbEMIw3ecGI?si=5IrLzE0-hDILOXSf Hello everyone, my name is Joseph Sada and the motivational video I chose to share is “Imagination is Everything” by Steve Harvey.

I chose this video because like everyone else, I have my doubts that I'm on the right life path, or that I've made a mistake along the way. We are all human, and like Lisa Kudrow explains "there's so much at stake when we're in our twenties", which is what it feels like. Even if we're not in our twenties during an intense moment of our lives, every failure can feel like the end of what was supposed to be our journey or the end of the opportunity that we had. This speech, in my opinion, doesn't have to be applied to career focused topics, but any place that we think applicable. There will be many failures, and though I definitely don't try to fail, I don't regret of where life has taken me. My path has made me learn lots of things, and for those lessons, I am grateful. https://youtu.be/0g41R1XgnzI?si=4EyZNQJNjn60RF4L Hi, this is Irene Garcia sharing my motivational video.

He goes into the his philosophy of falling forward in life and that falling backwards impedes progress. Do not be afraid to take calculated risks because every stumble gets you closer to your goals and desires. I actually performed this speech in a competition where we had to deliver popular speeches. The best delivery won a reward and it really gave me the courage to become confortable in failing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpW2sGlCtaE

I feel like I resonate with this video because its not like typical self-motivation videos which can be a bit aggressive and add additional stress. This video also addresses the issue of Negative self talk, something that I have struggled with for a while now, and reminds me that it only serves to lower my self-confidence and self-worth. This is important because I used to think that negative self talk was some perverse sort of motivation. Now, I try to be kinder to myself and surround myself with people who care about me and remind me of my worth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGhg-JsIlAg&pp=ygUeSG93IHRvIHN0b3AgbmVnYXRpdmUgc2VsZiB0YWxr

I chose this video of Lionel Messi for a couple reasons. Its first of all very motivating and astonishing to watch. Messi went from a kid with problems of growth and not being rich to using what he's good at to get him to be a better person and do what he loves to do as a job and live freely for the rest of his life. This video reminds me to continue to do what I love and that one day it will pay off in my favor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFlK9No4F4o

The video is titled “Waking Up Right”, and Steve starts off by telling a story from his past which I found very inspiring. I decided to choose this video because I have watched a lot of Steve Harvey videos and find him to be very motivating and inspiring, specifically this video. His message in this video is that you should wake up every morning with a positive attitude because your attitude determines your altitude in life. This highlights the impact our mindset can have on our experiences. One powerful quote from the video is “ People wake up with a bad attitude and wonder why they are having a bad day.” I find this video to be motivating because choosing to have a positive mindset in the morning can lead to better experiences and outcomes during the day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiZ4KFZM1eU&t=209s Hi, my name is Anolin, and I chose a video from a Steve Harvey speech.
