I have not seen a video this inspiring in a very long time. There is just something about it, there are no words, but there is so much ACTION. The video shows reminds us how blessed we are in so many way but it also shows us how much we take for granted.
Down Never Means Out
The part that gives me the chill down to my bones is to see where the video started and where the video ended. I can only imagine how much pain and struggle this man went through. I see people quit over nothing, when you compare it to what this man decided to keep fighting through.
To see that no one would even sit near him on the train because he smelled so bad, and that he would have to steal a bar of soap just to wash his clothes. Watch this video when you feel like giving up. Watch this video when you think you have it bad. Remember where he started sleeping under that bridge and then remember where he finished.
What Would You Sacrifice?
The part that makes me so hungry in this video is all the sacrifices he did to follow his dreams. He did manual labor, he sold his gold chain that probably was the most exspensive thing he owned, he fought, and he gave blood all so he COULD TRAIN.
There are many people who could train for free every day and they do not want to. They don’t have to go through even half of the things he had to just so he could do the thing that he wanted to. That is sacrifice and before any goal or dream can be reached you have to be willing to make a sacrifice along the way. He could have taken that money and got a bike to travel around; he could have bought a tent for some shelter, he could have used the money for some new clothes; like the list goes on.
If you were him what would you of used the money for? Watch the video a few more times and really just take it in. Ask yourself if you are working as hard as him. I know I am not and I plan to work harder so I can match his work ethic.

I just can’t get over how dedicated he is. All of the stuff he did, just to be successful. It’s almost hard to believe. Definitely my favorite motivational video.
I know man I watch it and I get chills man. Thanks for the comment Stuart.
