7 Videos That Changed Me Forever

A few weeks ago I wrote about my reading habit and how only 1 or 2 books I read each year profoundly change my worldview. The same is true for the content I watch and listen to.

Today, I want to share with you a few videos that changed my worldview and positively impacted my mindset.

‘Start earlier’ - Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant is considered one of the greatest of all time but talent doesn’t account for much without hard work. The mamba mentality left a legacy on sport and this video is a reminder that you have to work harder than anybody else to get to the top.

‘I lost my mind to this game’ - Conor McGregor

It will never fail to inspire me to see somebody before they found success and what they sacrificed to get there. This was taken in 2014, a year before McGregor became world champion for the first time. He won that fight in 13 seconds but it took a decade of dedication to get there.

‘Get stuff done’ - Obama

I heard this video in January and a few months later I was promoted at work. For context, I had not been promoted for the 9 years prior. It’s true that people notice when you start finding solutions instead of complaining about problems.

‘Become a good reader’ - Jim Rohn

This is a great mantra for personal development. Anything you want to know has been written about before by somebody who has done it, as Jim says.

‘You’ve got to have a goal’ - Arnold Schwarzenegger

When you have something to aim for you can walk the path towards it. Without a goal, you will float around without a real purpose. From the age of 14, Arnie wanted to be Mr Universe and he built his life around that goal. The rest is history.

‘How badly do you want it?’ - Michael Phelps

When asked what makes Phelps so successful, he doesn’t put it down to his genetics or his relentless training regime. What separated Phelps and other great athletes is their mindset.

‘You can change the world’ - Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs changed the world but only because he believed that he could. Once you realise that everybody else is winging it and that everything around us was constructed by humans, it seems a little less daunting to try and affect change.
