This is one of the most inspirational poems and videos I’ve ever seen! With lines like “I know that trying to be more than I am is who I am”, it’s message completely resonates with the Begin with Yes theme. While responsibility and routine are essential parts of life, don’t be afraid to break routine every so often. That’s what keeps life interesting; there are so many places and states of mind to explore!
As this video so clearly states, there are things you need to do to make a living, but there are other things you need to do to feel alive! These things don’t have to be scary or extreme, like scaling a mountain or sky diving; they just need to be things to keep you excited as you push the edges of your comfort zone, like driving a different route to work, or calling up an old friend to meet up for a cup of coffee.
If you don’t wring your hands with excitement about the possibilities your life holds, then watch this video until you do. You deserve it!
