I absolutely love it when I stumble upon or when friends send me clips on Youtube that provide some sort of inspiration or motivation when I’m looking for answers, in a bad mood or to remind myself that whatever situation I’m struggling with really isn’t that bad.

I find mini-clips like these to be invaluable in pulling me out and snapping myself out of a negative spiral and put me into a state that’s grateful, focused, resourceful and action-oriented.

So I figure it’s time to share my favourite motivational clips on Youtube!

Michael Jordan

This is the clip that I watch the most often. There’s a reason why Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player to have ever graced with his killer instinct, prowess and finesse – on and off the court.

Lance Armstrong & Vince Vaughan in Dodgeball

A bit more tongue-in-cheek, this clip gave me a good chuckle and teaches a good lesson.

Rocky Balboa

Who doesn’t love an underdog? Rocky teaches his son a lesson in life.

Dr. Randy Pausch

The late Dr. Randy Pausch before he passed away, decided to give his “Last Lecture” to his three children when they’re old enough to comprehend what the lessons and knowledge he wanted to impart to them to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Steve Jobs

 

Finally, Steve Jobs and his commencement speech to Stanford University undergrads tells three stories about ‘Connecting the Dots’, ‘Love and Loss’, and ‘Death’.

If you have any short yet profound motivational clips, share them in the comments! :)
