I am a Marine and always will be. Listening to the Admiral took me back to Parris Island where the training tested me to the limit and they tried punishing me to test my mettle to see if I had it to be a combat trained Marine. I couldn't do things right at first and they made me do it over and over until I succeeded and got it. After 3 months of terrible mental and physical training I graduated as a Marine. It was the greatest and proudest day of my life and I am still a Marine at age 85.
I showed this to my dad who's ex military, he was stricken with 3 different types of cancer that developed into a terminal illness, he went from a mean 210 pound tank to less then 100 it absolutely kills me to see him like this, it hurts just to say this. i use this speech to empower myself, it was incredible watching my dad fight a little harder to sit up longer, to speak longer, to smile for that much longer ment everything to me and my family - you hit a different note in his heart - thank you - early this morning the king in our family passed on to be with our forefathers, rest in peace father I love you, I hope that you're proud of me 🙏 ❤️
I feel for you I really do i hope the best for your father i wish I could lend him my strength 💪 push hard for him there's no time for sadness right yet enjoy the time that's left leave the sadness for the worst outcome keep him strong too.
My heart goes out to you and your father🙏. I'm an army ranger who is now retired . Reading your post touched me. I lost my dad 25 years ago and miss him daily. I honor my father who was a bottom terit gunner in B24 liberator's. He's my hero. Stay strong my friend and no matter what happens you have the ability to make sure your fathers legacy lives on
Awe men to that! IF your HEART IS IN IT, you're GONNA WIN IT! Never GIVE UP HEART! We have NOTHING STRONGER in life to help us make it through. It's "ALL ABOUT HEART, SOUL, SPIRIT, MIND & BODY BEING IN HARMONY!!!" IF we get this to become WORLD WIDE in measure and routine daily living... WE'LL MAKE IT!!!!! I KEEP MY HOPES & FAITH ALIVE & KICKIN!!! Stay well brother! Kindly always, Nick
I’m a heroin addict clean since July 12th 2017. My family is dead, my mom died from alcoholism, my father just died from Parkinson’s disease and my sister overdosed on fentanyl and died 2 months ago. My support is gone. I have 2 little kids and a no where job I feel cold and alone. I needed to hear this. I wanna go to school.
I wish you the best. Stay clean and you already won half the battle. Teach your children to stay away from drug, alcohol and tobacco. Good luck and you can do it.
Your a legend ,that's what you are and your not alone anyone that's replied is here for you, I luckily have my family but know the despair of addiction and chose to be alone lost my job my marriage my freedom and sanity. Life's a struggle but I finally learned how true a problem shared is a problem halved, even if it's some1 you've never met.your not alone I here 👊🤝
My husband was a marine and a Navajo. He was proud of all his family that served. My family also represented the best they could be in the Army,Navy and Marines. My dad joined at 17. He felt ashamed that he was home and his brothers were serving overseas. My Grandfather had signed for him to go. I miss him so much. The National Anthem makes me cry every time I hear it. I am so proud of the strong men in my family, and my friends, who also served this country. I love you daddy.
A year ago, I had a heart attack while I was intubated, recovering from pneumonia and COVID-19. When the doctors removed my intubation tube, they found that my vocal chords had not closed. I had no voice. Insurance would not pay for the intensive speech therapy i required, so I went to youtube and stumbled across this speech. I channeled my inner will to find my voice, and refused to let my circumstance silence me. I began by singing along to music videos as I lay there in the hospital (3 months). The nurses were very supportive, and as each day passed, a little bit of sounjd would come forth. Eight months would pass, and as I looked down upon my new born niece, I sang to her. Hoping, that one day, she would draw upon my story as inspiration to get her through the tough times that she will face. Thank you, Admiral, for your inspiration, and I hope that my actions will inspire someone else as well. God Bless America and world over.
I did 10 years in the Navy and after being medically discharged, I missed the sense of purpose it gave me and being around people like this. What a treasure of a speech, I bookmarked it to listen to when I get wobbly. Thank you Admiral McRaven.
[1.] Start the day with a task completed [2.] Find someone to help you through life [3.] Respect everyone [4.] Life is not always fair, move forward [5.] Don’t be afraid to fail often [6.] Take risks [7.] Face down the bullies [8.] Step up when times are toughest [9.] Lift up the downtrodden [10.] Never ever give up
16 years in the Navy myself, 2 war zones, been feeling hopeless since getting out yet this video has once again inspired me to be that person I was while wearing the uniform. Don't know about anyone else but I have no problem admitting to the fact I got a little teary eyed listing to this
Obey Jesus Christ or you will go to hell, turn to the Lord before its too late, if you don’t REPENT OF YOUR SINS then you will likewise perish in hell. All liars, fornicators, adulterers, idolaters, blasphemers, whoremongers, thieves, murderers, homosexuals, effeminate, etc, will not inherit the kingdom of God. Once you turn to the Lord, read the new testament in the bible, the gospels, to develop a relationship with God. God bless you all. Turn to Jesus, repent or perish, turn or burn.
I've watched this several times As a 70 yr old man, I can truly attest the points he makes are indeed words of wisdom to be taken to the heart. It is sad but some will hear this and scoff, others will hear and think it doesn't apply to them. Some will scroll right past and not care..But there are some who will listen and ponder these words AND THEN put them to use These will be the leaders which this country AND world need
And THANK YOU SIR, for your Service. I hated seeing how you guys were treated when you got home. It was disgraceful. You all deserved so much better. One of my closest friends was 1st Cav, did two Tours, 70, 71. You, Sir, are appreciated. 🇺🇲💪
This is why I can't stop respecting America even when the country has a lot of problems. This core strength of America will never go away, never be altered regardless of whatever the problem they have. Stay strong Americans.
@@ginadisbrow9324 Defining an entire generation makes you no better of a person. You defeated the entire lesson of this video. Try being kind for once even if it's over the internet, live and breathe kindness. I promise it feels better than the plainness of being rude. If you only do what you can do, you'll never be any more than who you are.
The first time I heard this speech I was in drug treatment for heroin addiction. It touched a place in my soul and stayed with me. I would love to tell you that I got clean during that rehab stay and never looked back, but that would be a lie. I failed a few more times until I finally got clean and kept pushing on, and I never ever gave up. Today I listen to this speech again, this speech that I’ve shared with my 19 year old son and my 16 year old son as well as so many other people. This is the speech I will share with my 3 year old son and my 1 year old daughter one day when they are old enough to understand and appreciate it. The difference today, as I sit here listening to it, is that it resonates with me, deep within my soul. The difference today is I now have over 3 years clean and sober, because I never gave up. When times were the darkest, I finally was at my best. Today, I live a life I used to pray for when I was in my addiction. Today I am grateful, humble, hopeful, and proud. I may not be a Navy Seal, I am not rich, or famous, or perfect. I am, however, the very best ME that I can be. I am Heather Trostle, recovering drug addict, single mother, strong independent, motivated, and driven, to be better than I was yesterday, every single day. I’ve thought of this speech so many times when things were hard, or when I felt like giving up, and giving in. Real life is an obstacle course, it is a test, and I will never ever RING THAT BELL! ❤
I am currently a senior and I agree. Life is very complicated at this point with introducing college and lots of finals in high school and working while covid is going on.
Also a senior currently, it's been different this school year, very different for both parents of middle school and high school kids, down to elementary school. It's been tough, it's been rough but people still haven't given up.
As an officer in the Royal Navy, I can’t help but watch/listen to this at least once a week just to reinforce the positive mental attitude I have! Every word he says rings true in all that I have done! Great life lessons that work!!
Wonderful inspirational message I think applies to all people military or civilian. I never had the honor of serving our beloved country but honor and respect our military. God bless our military and God bless America.
1. Start by making your bed [value small accomplishments]. 2. Find someone that helps you paddle [the ship]. 3. Measure a person by the size of their heart, not by the size of their flippers [body size, background, or social status]. 4. Get over being a sugar cookie [easily discouraged by inequalities in the world], and keep moving forward. 5. Don't be afraid of circuses [where you can fail and face humiliation]. 6. Be prepared to slide down the obstacles first [take the risks]. 7. Don't back down from the sharks [afraid of opposition]. 8. Be your very best in the darkest of moments [don't lose calm and composure]. 9. Start singing when you are up to your neck in mud [give hope]. 10. Don't ever ring the bell [tap out and quit].
Few deserve that rank, that uniform. Dude's entire career went beyond getting the respect of his men, he got the respect of millions of regular civilians.
I found this speech a few years ago when I was at my absolute lowest losing to drugs and alcohol. I'm 14 months sober as of writing this and this speech was part of my recovery. The ten rules went on my wall and I started to live by them. I fought for my life back harder than I've ever done anything. If anyone is ever struggling, please don't give up, you can overcome.
Awesome man, Keep The Fight Alive is the recovery society’s Motto that I was at, congrats on your 14 months I am on day 4 today, I’ve been in recovery for awhile but I struggled with a legal substance so I collected a year and took a year cake which was false so that brought a lot of shame in me and took me out, but you know it is possible to live a clean life, so keep up the good work man!!
This is awesome. Keep it up. Addiction is a very hard thing to over come & it can come roaring back out of the blue. Don't give it an inch. As you say, NEVER GIVE UP. I know you can do it, you know it too. You should be proud, just don't be arrogant. God bless you. Journey on.
John 14: 21 He who has My (Jesus) commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. Where can one start reading the Bible? John (4th Scripture of the New Testament) and/or Acts of the Apostles (5th Scripture of the New Testament)
I, as a german at first thought "wow, this is quite pathetic" but when I listened to it and the words sunk in, I had to change my mind. This man knows what he is talking about and I gladly will take his advice!
This is, undoubtedly,one of the best speeches I've heard. The words so playful and so easy to understand and yet the messages so deep and the lessons so profound. My deepest respects to you Admiral McRaven.
I used to watch this everyday when I was in college. It really gave me motivation to get through school. I graduated this fall with a bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering.
I lost my Vietnam Navy Seal, last year. I shed tears while watching this. Now I know why he was the wonderful man he was. I Wish so much I had seen this before his death, somewhere in our years together, I could have loved him a little better, harder, if that were possible. Through tears, watching this, I thank God this popped up in my feed, and gave me one more look into the life of a Navy Seal, my Navy Seal. Thank you Admiral McRaven.
Amazing Speech. I know this is an old clip but in today's turmoil so much hope has been lost. America needs this motivation & hope so desperately. Thank you Admiral.
@@wooshbait36 0:08 to 0:35 These are for everyone. I don't know what you mean "biased" bit stop being a jerk and actually listen to what the man is saying. He uses examples from his life, but that doesn't mean that it's only for him. If it was, why's he sharing it, and why'd you listen to all 16 minutes of it?
This is a true speech. I served in the US Navy. I know in my heart, this speech will get people through their darkest hours. As the saying goes, walk a mile in his shoes.
I'm a therapist and I show this often to new client's and patients. This changed my outlook and views personally. I make sure I make my bed, always. I love it!
I am 73. I stepped into this, following 4 years of Navy training and 40 years at sea. And yet I didn't learn the full lesson, but I consistently improved. I keep the American spirit in high regard! Go USA!
My dad was a sergeant major, in ww2, he never spoke to me about the military, but his upbringing has made me the man i am, disciplined , punctual, and i never promise my kids , grand kids, great granddaughter, anything i cant deliver, however this video, has affected me , i try each day to follow these wisdoms, admiral.mcravan thank you, i will never ring the bell.
This speech got me out of the darkness and my lowest points in life. I came across it by complete coincidence when I was terminated from my job. I listened to it every day for 6 continuous months. I started each day by doing my bed. 3 years later I can clearly say I am a changed human Thank you sir for the amazing speech
Jennifer lampretch to our boy Killian, current events had led to my conclusion of unknown intelligence agencies collusion in government affairs. Plans to utilize geographic projection of god like will to power, spearheading prophecy as a means of last ditch attempt at government expansionism, Ethier religious, or "National socialist" to flow the water of the state with long unused complexes. The question of the shadow of nationalism apply? Furthermore creation of a demagogue would be established and the organ of the collective psyche smiting any opposing foe. (Complex's are the psychological equivalent of vegetative biological systems ) Possible relatives of royal, masionic, security affairs may currently be involved from the great white north, down to the deep south in Grand strategy's of U.S. cultural domination across much of Nato and the U.N even as far as to say utilizing the new collective consciousness for U.S military deployment into China and possibly Europe marching in on the beat of demagogue. Sleeper cells lay dorment among select families of security related social institutions Fabricated by specifically triggering emotional ques of the "self preservative function" , even so far as creation of new unheard-of unconscious complex's, Hence traumatic advents of violence is utilized in changing behaviour of the sleeper, challenging natural instincts and the sleepers immediate actions. All stages of infant and adolescent trauma programs and adapts action, in recall cases borderline or psychotic tendencies are prevalent. ( big for Jennifer lampretchs satanic ritual abuse ) In cases of extreme early preadolescent trauma, satanic ritual abuse , alien abduction is reported by sleepers and patients. The sleepers possess cardinal traits established to provide accurate results in attaining goals. Mobilization of sleepers is enacted through the use of crude graffiti to be communicated commands for other agents or actors in national or religious state control. Affecting sleepers lives. Mythology and prophecy can be used in cultural and military service doctrine , although complicated to implement, the individual who plays this drum " must be unaware " , awakening to his role ruins authentic behaviour. The long drawn out process allows for unconscious actors to play pianist of the public's inferior function. Once the unconscious actors are in position in the public domain , "the god like will to power" is enacted amongst the populous, it's impact flood long since dormant volcano of cultural complex's across Europe, Russia and China striking the fear of God into the hearts of combatants. These threats of Unite States religious " will to power supremacy" , "global projection "and agents aka actors unconscious "pianist of the demagogue", in the form of an all encompassing "savoir ", is not just isolated to team A or B and split both down the middle. Urgency in addressing, Senate committees and cabinet board of trustees. Remember the Pheonix the publics revolution is the godfathers strength, the four richest families who lurch in the background. Also to Suzanne whom may concern might have been paid in affecting her sons action using serve trauma to the point of self suicide. Causing his awaking. I LOVE YOU JENNIFER AND OUR BOY KILLIAN!!!! wrote this for them taking our sun and splitting us up. Hope the burn ❤️🔥 .
I'm turning 61 in six days. I've watched this a few times and even at my age it helps me keep my life prioritized and in perspective. I strongly recommend it to EVERYONE!!!
I am a paramedic and this speech is relevant to every EMS professional who deals with the pain and suffering of others every day and returns to help strangers again the next day.
Thank you. I have friends alive because of people doing your job. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping people, often like a super hero. Hopefully we can make a system that your amount of work and importance in society reflects your socialite standing and income.
Usually motivation speakers are just crap. Just beating empty words. But this guy is somebody who actually has the real experience. Somebody who knows what he talks about.
He made his bed with Lucifer! He is telling you that in very beginning with his hand sign! People need to wake up and not be deceived by these deep state satanist.
Yeaaaaa, no. This guy was an officer brat. I promise you any enlisted knows about 100x more than this guy when it comes to dealing with adversity and struggle. Half of this dude's speech was so contradictory and confused, which is sad considering he actually wrote it down on a card. You'd think he'd be able to do better. Pretty telling sign that he's just making shit up to sound inspiring.
He’s 110% right, best speech I’ve heard. I was Navy. Today I deliver heavy water bottles, coming up on 10 years total with company. I weigh 130lbs. People sometimes say I’m to small or too skinny. I still get it done. You never give up. Change the world. Try harder and work, especially now. You are a part. Dosent matter what you do or how. Work! NEVER GIVE UP!
The center on our high school football team that won the state championship weighed 140 pounds. “It doesn't matter the size of the dog in the fight, rather the size of the fight in the dog.” ― Mark Twain. I expect he had some extra coating from his older brother, Buddy Ryan as well. There is less strain on the shorter bones and the joints on their ends than those of someone taller lifting the same weight due to the shorter lever arm putting less load on the fulcrum (joint) and slightly less bending stress on the shorter bones.
I was thinking the same we need a leader a commander in chief with military experience. This is the most important country in the world and can't be lead by a weak fool but also with need senators a Congress with US roots not with some other country roots that won't have the same live for this country like we have now . Sadly we have a bunch of non US born citizens or sons of immigrants leading this country and I'm completely against it.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and will save the humble in spirit. Psalm 33:19. (Тew world translation) - Psalm 34: 18 Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted;wHe saves those who are crushed in spirit. -------- Be strong dear, better times are ahead, you just need to prepare for them a little.
The World need Jesus Christ, before this scripture comes about .. ( 2 Peter 3:8-10 King James Version (KJV) 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. )
That has nothing to do with America. Sure he is an american admiral and he is talking about the Seals, but the message of his speech has nothing to do with America or the Navy Seals. It has something to do with being human, being humble, strong, honest, enduring etc.
I'm honestly speechless. I lost my older brother, & my dad got killed in mexico. I've been having a hard time coping with it. So I kinda needed that. Thank you. 😊
You know begging for sympathy and attention in the youtube comments is pathetic. Not to mention seeing your sob story is not very motivational at all. If you wanna take someone aside talk to them how you're feeling great! Don't beg for attention on youtube thanks.
When a soldier speaks his heart out, you simply listen. Mr. McRaven shares his pearls of wisdom with brutal honesty and unflinching faith. No matter who you are and what you do, if this talk doesn't inspire you...then nothing will!
@@SpdDemonAL He also need's to pull out his sidearm and firmly place it under his chin... safety off. Maybe he can place two rounds before it goes dark!

At school, at work, at home, keep in mind that: 1. Start the day with a task completed 2. Find someone to help you through life 3. Respect everyone 4. Life is not always fair, move forward 5. Don't be afraid to fail often 6. Take risks 7. Face down the bullies 8. Step up when times are toughest 9. Lift up the downtrodden 10. Never give up

Instead of thinking about becoming a millionaire we should be teaching people fiscal responsibility. Live below your means, invest for retirement, have 3-6 month emergency fund, save for your children’s college, pay off your mortgage (unless interest if less than 4%). Only when you have met these requirements then take risks in the stock market.
Fiscal responsibility is crucial, but it's also important to seize opportunities for financial growth. While building savings, investing for retirement, and maintaining an emergency fund are essential, the stock market, when approached with caution and risk management, can help build wealth. It's about balancing caution with taking calculated risks to grow financially, with diversification playing a key role
*Julianne Iwersen-Niemann* is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I think having an investment advisor is the way to go. I've been with one because I lack the expertise for the market. I made over $490K during the recent dip, highlighting that there's more to the market than we average folks know.
I served in the military right out of high school. But regardless of that, THIS is one of THE BEST motivational speeches. I literally had tears in my eyes listening to this. Now it's become part of my everyday routine. I will to this every morning while getting ready for my day and every night before bed. My life has changed drastically because of my attitude. I salute you Admiral William H. McRaven!!!! Thank you for your service and your beautiful POWERFUL words.
YES SIR ADMIRAL, EYE EYE YOUR WORDS ARE TEXT BOOK KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY for OPERATORS and ANY ONE WHO WANTS TO SURVEY TODAY... YOUR SPEECH MOVES ME BODY ,MIND,HEART and SOUL EYE EYE ADMIRAL... EYE EYE....
My hubby who is ex-Army retired, recommended this speech to me when I was in the midst of my chemo treatment. Words cannot express the motivation and inspiration this speech gave me and still does to this day. Jody, so happy you won the fight, I did too. Thank you, Admiral McRaven!
Admiral McRaven's speech brought to mind my dear departed grandmother... despite little prospects she rode on spiritedly through life on her own iron-willed steed, and created a bountiful haven for us all, but never once rang the bell. I miss her every day.
I’m not a marine, just a single mum trying her best, at times I felt completely overwhelmed with what was before me, wondering what on earth I was supposed to do to make this work. Your body is tired, you can’t seem to lift it anymore but you need to. Ive listened to this many times normally when I’m at my most tired. I wake up, make my bed and silently to myself say ..” first task of the day done”. Thank you Sir
As a service connected veteran, this speech gave me chills (and I shed some tears) while listening. I got up and made my bed a little tighter than it was before. This was such an incredible speech. Thank you for sharing it.
I needed this, for a kid who never felt accepted and never knew what who I was or what my purpose in life was, this means a lot. For the longest time, I always traveled the road that was laid for me, and did what I believe at the time was the right path for me. I’m 20 years old and I dropped out of college. I always felt compared to my brothers and had to be like them. It was only after speaking to my brother last year I realized that he was proud that I wasn’t like him and that I didn’t have to follow me. He was the first person I felt really supported me. This speech really gives me confidence that I can change myself and the world. Thank you for this speech, truly I thank you.
This Admiral is admiral. A thought provoking speech. Every human being should listen to this speech. What a great patriotic and intelligent gentleman. He would make a great president.
I have listened to this so many times and it never fails to inspire me!! The world needs people like this! Freedom comes at a cost few are willing to make! Fortunately, there are those that will!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Admiral McRaven , I listened to you when I was 18 years old, getting ready to sign a contract with USMC to change my life forever. Now 7 years later, Im watching you again, to motivate me to continue and overcome my challenges in life both professionally and personally. Thank you for this amazing speech that has helped me out through my lowest of times.
United States 🇺🇸 Marine Here. Love this. Everyone No matter what color your skin Man or Woman Stay Blessed and Focused and Remember your you at the End of the day Stay Blessed and Never Give up!
Whats your thoughts about the US military pulling out of Afghanistan? Where as all your brother in arms deeds where in vain. Meaning y'all never fought for American freedom. The military only fought for politics, oil and profit.. The terrorists are taking over that country. If you say otherwise, why were you there, why did you join?
@@darthchaka5437 I think you missed the message. I am a Marine, no longer on active duty, but serving those who are. The opportunity for your way of life, to live as you see fit, to believe as you choose, to think the wsy you do, is worthy and made possible through other people's sacrafice. Your question/questioning in the manner you just did, of those who served and sacraficed, is not worthy of their time to give their thoughts on your low key, shady and disrespectful question. Now, as we say in the Corps, Carry tf On.
Even to a mature man in his fifties living on the other side of the Atlantic in a small, insignificant and VERY peaceful country with no millitary to speak of this man makes a lot of sense. Cool, calm and collected,- knows his own worth to the core,- highly successful in his chosen world,- yet in stead of being full of himself still caring about his fellow man and the future generations to come. A together guy. Respect.
It takes a person with a very special character to appreciate the task of over overcoming the difficulties in life. This will help me remember to make my bed each day, and to not be afraid of the sharks; I must say that Navy Seals go through rigorous training to accomplish the goal.
of course, but do not forget that at the same time it will make you another sheep from the big flock, who will never ask why to jump, but just how high to jump?@@monroviahicks4383
@@gedanst1 "A sheep from the big flock". Couldn't be more wrong. Seals are specifically NOT the same as everyone else. Outside of that, doing things that most people don't do, as in the Admiral's speech, causes you to depart the crowd. You can be like the sheep, or you can do what he says and live above them.
Donald Hill Reading through the comments and I can’t believe no one knows about Extortion 17. This Admiral helped cover that up. That is why he is getting political. He is scared that the truth will be forced out in the open. Look up Extortion 17 and Treason. Our people were murdered in Afghanistan.
This is so inspirational to me. I am a 63 yr old vet., serving 5 yrs in the Navy. I thought boot camp was bull, but I totally understand it all today. It's the little things that trip us up, not the big ones. Deal with the small and you will handle the rest.
I listened to this speech. I always seem to go back to it when I feel like I’m failing. Which is a lot. But it always makes me drive through my stresses and life. Thanks for bringing me up when I am down.
It's a great speech, the short version of his book, make your bed. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Next time you're down, lift someone else up, you'll both be better off
Hey you. Yes, you. You're probably scrolling through the comments, like I am, reading all these motivational comments. If you are reading this at night, you should get some sleep, and don't stress about everything going on in the world, or what you are going through. Don't dwell on things from the past, don't stress on your future. Just live your life, because you only get one. Do whatever makes you happy, not what other people want from you. For me, I'm gonna wake up tomorrow morning, hit the gym, and cherish life for the amazing blessing that it is. I hope you do the same and have an amazing day as well!
Well said, I like your style! Life is a blessing and it's what we make of it that counts. We're responsible for our own actions. At the gym as I type this. God bless you my friend!
I just read this sitting here at my lowest moment. I screen shotted it a few weeks ago. An insignificant comment you made changed my life. Give yourself credit. I'm back on a new page of life. I am proud of my future and two weeks ago I was going to take my chance at giving the future away.
I was lucky enough to hear this live at the Univ of Texas at our sons graduation. It was the best commencement I have ever attended. It was a beautiful evening in Austin, in front of the capital and all the hundreds of graduates on the university lawns. Such an inspiring speech, I knew it would be one for the ages.
So what. What is he actually doing for the country today besides giving speaches? What other speaches have you heard at graduations? Why does anyone really care? What about all of this is nothing but hot air?
@justsomeguy "Make your bed, little Joey", mommy told you and you listened because you're not smart enough to look into how the SealTeam Six guys were taken out and how this 'American hero was involved. Wait for Disney to make a movie about it, ie., something at your level.
@@wmc9722 Now THAT is a great speech you just made!!!! Glad to see someone commenting here besides the government shills. Apparently they are attempting to boost the morale of future would be soldiers, so they could go into China & fight another war for the bankers.
@@cxoot Most people are so busy trying to get by in life that they don't see what's going on. Actually, if they were NOT so busy trying to survive they'd likely be doing some shit like getting drunk and fucking around watching TV, generally wasting time. Most people have no interest in knowing what's really going on. 'Trump is an idiot and Obama was cool, he got moves'.... not realizing in any way what is coming next. Get ready for a full-on frontal assault.
I've listened to this so many times I think it's a phenomenal SPEECH AND I THINK 🤔 IT'S A WONDERFUL WAY TO START YOUR DAY OFF RIGHT WITH A GOOD ATTITUDE AND HARD WORK 💯💪❤❤❤
@Lakers Forever what are you talking about? Being president of the US is one of the most stressful, demanding and physically aging jobs one can serve, Trump didn't even take a salary his first year in office and these liberal socialists still complain he didn't pay enough taxes! Joe Biden has got to be one of the most racist candidates since the 1800s, saying things like, warning against the "bus riders" program, that it would "turn their schools into jungles" mixing black & White kids... Recently many POC have come to realize how Biden and many Dems, are now and have been, using black people to advance their own agenda, using lies and manipulation through accusations of racism on anyone who opposes their party, or now days, just disagrees with part of there idolatry. They continuously make unachievable promises while pretending to care deeply for and claiming that it's they alone who want to help POC, attempting to create the illusion that they are the friends of, and greatly needed by minorities, and so, falsely seeming the obvious best and only option worth supporting! 😳🤔
My eyes water with tears, and my heart swells with pride . I do not know why some people give up their lives and their freedoms so that we may have ours, but I thank God that they exist. Where would we be without our good men and women in the military and law enforcement? Thank you Admiral McRaven, wonderful speech.
@@sbkenn1 You ever watched Jocko podcast's The Thread? It might shift your perspective, the average person doesnt know what they think they know about the war on terror. Do you know anything beyond "They were taking the oil"? Do you want to?

I spent a lot of years in the navy. Thirty five plus, and this speech brought me to tears. It's not nice to make an old chief cry Admiral. Thanks for those brilliant and wonderful insights.
ADM McRaven, Sir, you make me even more proud I served 23 honorable years with the USN. No combat but extremely proud of being a Maxillofacial Prosthetics man. I can add nothing to your deeply moving speech. I can only thank you for inspiring a %100 disabled veteran. God bless you and your family, the USN and the SEAL teams. Keith Kolb USN/ Ret
I'm a retired Marine. When I retired, I started my own small business. I watch this moto video when I am challenged. Thanks for the speech. I'm three years into my business but keep pushing. It's amazing and motivational.
I’m a former military officer I literally cried listening too this cause I know what It feels like I’ve served 7years with they army god bless you my brother an may he continue too through out life
9/11 was an inside event, to justify military intervention in the Middle East to implement regime change to the petrodollar. As a military officer, you were brainwashed into believing the propaganda that was thrust into you. You will react negatively towards this comments because you have been brainwashed and indoctrinated, and cannot think objectively. You are incapable of independent thought.
He stands for ‘that’s how we do things’. He’s a war monger. The speech is eloquent. His intentions are far from honorable. It’s a bait, and switch. He’ll be just as happy to send your child to a useless war to die. He left that part out of his speech.
green fox Exactly! However, his speech is far more supportive of the sheep. It makes him appear sincere. He’s not THAT honorable! He’d be the first one to send our loved ones into war while he ‘makes bank’ off of it. He opposes our President. Our President is the first President, in a long long time that wants to stop us from fighting in these wars that these people we try to help have been fighting in these wars for centuries. Not decades! For CENTURIES! Seriously! We’re (America) are drawn into ancient wars!?! That message wasn’t completely to you. Apparently, people like Aaron don’t seem to understand what’s going on.
He might go to Iran next if Raytheon and AIPAC bribe enough congressmen, should be easy of the CIA trigger an attack with a false flag such as the so call gas attacks by Assad in Syria. Military, afterall, is very important for propping up the endlessly increasing Dollar debt
When I was in a mental institution we were made to take classes every day and professors would come in and teach us every hour on the hour with 10 minute breaks in between and for one class we had to listen to this speech and it's stuck with me ever since. God bless and take care of you, always
I'm a retired Army Sgt who earned air assault wings in the 101st Airborne. The lessons by Admiral McRaven applies there as well as on life. Salute Sir!
To the brother in jump school about to go to air assault school. I had some paratroopers in my air assault class in 1984. They all said air assault was tougher. I hope you remain in top physical condition as you'll need to be to get thru it. Best wishes. Air assault!
I am a Marine and always will be. Listening to the Admiral took me back to Parris Island where the training tested me to the limit and they tried punishing me to test my mettle to see if I had it to be a combat trained Marine. I couldn't do things right at first and they made me do it over and over until I succeeded and got it. After 3 months of terrible mental and physical training I graduated as a Marine. It was the greatest and proudest day of my life and I am still a Marine at age 85.

Thank you for your service.

I showed this to my dad who's ex military, he was stricken with 3 different types of cancer that developed into a terminal illness, he went from a mean 210 pound tank to less then 100 it absolutely kills me to see him like this, it hurts just to say this. i use this speech to empower myself, it was incredible watching my dad fight a little harder to sit up longer, to speak longer, to smile for that much longer ment everything to me and my family - you hit a different note in his heart - thank you

One of my favourite motivational speeches, articulated to perfection.
Powerful speech. "If you want to measure a person, don't measure them by their height or strength. Measure them by the size of their heart".
Heart, aka balls.
Awe men to that! IF your HEART IS IN IT, you're GONNA WIN IT! Never GIVE UP HEART! We have NOTHING STRONGER in life to help us make it through. It's "ALL ABOUT HEART, SOUL, SPIRIT, MIND & BODY BEING IN HARMONY!!!" IF we get this to become WORLD WIDE in measure and routine daily living... WE'LL MAKE IT!!!!! I KEEP MY HOPES & FAITH ALIVE & KICKIN!!! Stay well brother!

My husband was a marine and a Navajo. He was proud of all his family that served. My family also represented the best they could be in the Army,Navy and Marines. My dad joined at 17. He felt ashamed that he was home and his brothers were serving overseas. My Grandfather had signed for him to go. I miss him so much. The National Anthem makes me cry every time I hear it. I am so proud of the strong men in my family, and my friends, who also served this country. I love you daddy.
Tears of joy. May God reward and bless your family and sometimes it is not what we think...
I thank them all for their service and sacrifice.
Thank you, for yours and their service to our country. When one member serves the whole family is serving.
A year ago, I had a heart attack while I was intubated, recovering from pneumonia and COVID-19. When the doctors removed my intubation tube, they found that my vocal chords had not closed. I had no voice. Insurance would not pay for the intensive speech therapy i required, so I went to youtube and stumbled across this speech. I channeled my inner will to find my voice, and refused to let my circumstance silence me. I began by singing along to music videos as I lay there in the hospital (3 months). The nurses were very supportive, and as each day passed, a little bit of sounjd would come forth. Eight months would pass, and as I looked down upon my new born niece, I sang to her. Hoping, that one day, she would draw upon my story as inspiration to get her through the tough times that she will face. Thank you, Admiral, for your inspiration, and I hope that my actions will inspire someone else as well. God Bless America and world over.
God is with you my friend , faith and self believe is the best weapon in life you , we , will ever have
Wow! God bless you!
You are one awesome person! God be with you and yours...always! ♥️🙏♥️
I did 10 years in the Navy and after being medically discharged, I missed the sense of purpose it gave me and being around people like this. What a treasure of a speech, I bookmarked it to listen to when I get wobbly. Thank you Admiral McRaven.

Some will scroll right past and not care..But there are some who will listen and ponder these words AND THEN put them to use These will be the leaders which this country AND world need

The first time I heard this speech I was in drug treatment for heroin addiction. It touched a place in my soul and stayed with me. I would love to tell you that I got clean during that rehab stay and never looked back, but that would be a lie. I failed a few more times until I finally got clean and kept pushing on, and I never ever gave up. Today I listen to this speech again, this speech that I’ve shared with my 19 year old son and my 16 year old son as well as so many other people. This is the speech I will share with my 3 year old son and my 1 year old daughter one day when they are old enough to understand and appreciate it. The difference today, as I sit here listening to it, is that it resonates with me, deep within my soul. The difference today is I now have over 3 years clean and sober, because I never gave up. When times were the darkest, I finally was at my best. Today, I live a life I used to pray for when I was in my addiction. Today I am grateful, humble, hopeful, and proud. I may not be a Navy Seal, I am not rich, or famous, or perfect. I am, however, the very best ME that I can be. I am Heather Trostle, recovering drug addict, single mother, strong independent, motivated, and driven, to be better than I was yesterday, every single day. I’ve thought of this speech so many times when things were hard, or when I felt like giving up, and giving in. Real life is an obstacle course, it is a test, and I will never ever RING THAT BELL! ❤
WELL DONE HEATHER..YOU MUST BE SO PROUD OF YOUR SELF..RESPECT!!
I do not possess the vocabulary to properly express my admiration for your courage and honesty. Stay strong....and good luck.
Imagine if you can be even better
You are not famous rich or perfect, but you are alive. My son died from heroin addiction. I miss him every day of my life. I am glad you are alive.
Well Done, keep going and Never ever Ring the Bell! 🫡

I found this speech a few years ago when I was at my absolute lowest losing to drugs and alcohol. I'm 14 months sober as of writing this and this speech was part of my recovery. The ten rules went on my wall and I started to live by them. I fought for my life back harder than I've ever done anything. If anyone is ever struggling, please don't give up, you can overcome.
Awesome man, Keep The Fight Alive is the recovery society’s Motto that I was at, congrats on your 14 months I am on day 4 today, I’ve been in recovery for awhile but I struggled with a legal substance so I collected a year and took a year cake which was false so that brought a lot of shame in me and took me out, but you know it is possible to live a clean life, so keep up the good work man!!
This is awesome. Keep it up. Addiction is a very hard thing to over come & it can come roaring back out of the blue. Don't give it an inch. As you say, NEVER GIVE UP. I know you can do it, you know it too. You should be proud, just don't be arrogant.
God bless you. Journey on.
Keep up the fight 👍

Jennifer lampretch to our boy Killian,
current events had led to my conclusion of unknown intelligence agencies collusion in government affairs.
Plans to utilize geographic projection of god like will to power, spearheading prophecy as a means of last ditch attempt at government expansionism, Ethier religious, or "National socialist" to flow the water of the state with long unused complexes.
The question of the shadow of nationalism apply?
Furthermore creation of a demagogue would be established and the organ of the collective psyche smiting any opposing foe.
(Complex's are the psychological equivalent of vegetative biological systems )
Possible relatives of royal, masionic, security affairs may currently be involved from the great white north, down to the deep south in Grand strategy's of U.S. cultural domination across much of Nato and the U.N even as far as to say utilizing the new collective consciousness for U.S military deployment into China and possibly Europe marching in on the beat of demagogue.
Sleeper cells lay dorment among select families of security related social institutions
Fabricated by specifically triggering emotional ques of the "self preservative function" , even so far as creation of new unheard-of unconscious complex's, Hence traumatic advents of violence is utilized in changing behaviour of the sleeper, challenging natural instincts and the sleepers immediate actions.
All stages of infant and adolescent trauma programs and adapts action, in recall cases borderline or psychotic tendencies are prevalent.
( big for Jennifer lampretchs satanic ritual abuse )
In cases of extreme early preadolescent trauma, satanic ritual abuse , alien abduction is reported by sleepers and patients.
The sleepers possess cardinal traits established to provide accurate results in attaining goals.
Mobilization of sleepers is enacted through the use of crude graffiti to be communicated commands for other agents or actors in national or religious state control.
Affecting sleepers lives.
Mythology and prophecy can be used in cultural and military service doctrine , although complicated to implement, the individual who plays this drum " must be unaware " , awakening to his role ruins authentic behaviour.
The long drawn out process allows for unconscious actors to play pianist of the public's inferior function.
Once the unconscious actors are in position in the public domain , "the god like will to power" is enacted amongst the populous, it's impact flood long since dormant volcano of cultural complex's across Europe, Russia and China striking the fear of God into the hearts of combatants.
These threats of Unite States religious " will to power supremacy" , "global projection "and agents aka actors unconscious "pianist of the demagogue", in the form of an all encompassing "savoir ", is not just isolated to team A or B and split both down the middle.
Urgency in addressing, Senate committees and cabinet board of trustees.
Remember the Pheonix the publics revolution is the godfathers strength, the four richest families who lurch in the background.
Also to Suzanne whom may concern might have been paid in affecting her sons action using serve trauma to the point of self suicide.
Causing his awaking.

Can confirm! Same with a regular medical worker (non-ems). I think it can be relevant to any career though and thats what makes this a superb speech!
Lame....
This is so inspiring! If one keeps trying, they always get better! Just keep trying and you'll make it. Don't stop. Keep moving.
Usually motivation speakers are just crap. Just beating empty words. But this guy is somebody who actually has the real experience. Somebody who knows what he talks about.
Right. He can make a bed
Yeah, this fool probably had a maid. They all know their worshipping their true God. The god of death. Have a blessed day. 😁😁😁
He made his bed with Lucifer! He is telling you that in very beginning with his hand sign! People need to wake up and not be deceived by these deep state satanist.
@@sallyhobbs1035 lol, that's not the vibe I got from the speech.
Yeaaaaa, no. This guy was an officer brat. I promise you any enlisted knows about 100x more than this guy when it comes to dealing with adversity and struggle. Half of this dude's speech was so contradictory and confused, which is sad considering he actually wrote it down on a card. You'd think he'd be able to do better. Pretty telling sign that he's just making shit up to sound inspiring.
He’s 110% right, best speech I’ve heard. I was Navy. Today I deliver heavy water bottles, coming up on 10 years total with company. I weigh 130lbs. People sometimes say I’m to small or too skinny. I still get it done. You never give up.
Change the world. Try harder and work, especially now. You are a part. Dosent matter what you do or how. Work! NEVER GIVE UP!
Allah owns all power and authority, nato and the soldiers make commands.
The center on our high school football team that won the state championship weighed 140 pounds. “It doesn't matter the size of the dog in the fight, rather the size of the fight in the dog.” ― Mark Twain. I expect he had some extra coating from his older brother, Buddy Ryan as well. There is less strain on the shorter bones and the joints on their ends than those of someone taller lifting the same weight due to the shorter lever arm putting less load on the fulcrum (joint) and slightly less bending stress on the shorter bones.

I was thinking the same we need a leader a commander in chief with military experience. This is the most important country in the world and can't be lead by a weak fool but also with need senators a Congress with US roots not with some other country roots that won't have the same live for this country like we have now .

The World need Jesus Christ, before this scripture comes about .. ( 2 Peter 3:8-10 King James Version (KJV)
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. )
Lester Baird Amen brother.😉👍
That has nothing to do with America. Sure he is an american admiral and he is talking about the Seals, but the message of his speech has nothing to do with America or the Navy Seals. It has something to do with being human, being humble, strong, honest, enduring etc.

Instead of thinking about becoming a millionaire we should be teaching people fiscal responsibility. Live below your means, invest for retirement, have 3-6 month emergency fund, save for your children’s college, pay off your mortgage (unless interest if less than 4%). Only when you have met these requirements then take risks in the stock market.
Fiscal responsibility is crucial, but it's also important to seize opportunities for financial growth. While building savings, investing for retirement, and maintaining an emergency fund are essential, the stock market, when approached with caution and risk management, can help build wealth. It's about balancing caution with taking calculated risks to grow financially, with diversification playing a key role
Hmmm this is quite interesting, Please can you leave the info of your investment advisor here? I’m in dire need for one.
*Julianne Iwersen-Niemann* is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get.
I think having an investment advisor is the way to go. I've been with one because I lack the expertise for the market. I made over $490K during the recent dip, highlighting that there's more to the market than we average folks know.
I served in the military right out of high school. But regardless of that, THIS is one of THE BEST motivational speeches. I literally had tears in my eyes listening to this. Now it's become part of my everyday routine. I will to this every morning while getting ready for my day and every night before bed. My life has changed drastically because of my attitude.

I needed this, for a kid who never felt accepted and never knew what who I was or what my purpose in life was, this means a lot. For the longest time, I always traveled the road that was laid for me, and did what I believe at the time was the right path for me. I’m 20 years old and I dropped out of college. I always felt compared to my brothers and had to be like them. It was only after speaking to my brother last year I realized that he was proud that I wasn’t like him and that I didn’t have to follow me. He was the first person I felt really supported me. This speech really gives me confidence that I can change myself and the world. Thank you for this speech, truly I thank you.

Even to a mature man in his fifties living on the other side of the Atlantic in a small, insignificant and VERY peaceful country with no millitary to speak of this man makes a lot of sense.
Cool, calm and collected,- knows his own worth to the core,- highly successful in his chosen world,- yet in stead of being full of himself still caring about his fellow man and the future generations to come.
A together guy.
Respect.
It takes a person with a very special character to appreciate the task of over overcoming the difficulties in life. This will help me remember to make my bed each day, and to not be afraid of the sharks; I must say that Navy Seals go through rigorous training to accomplish the goal.

@@gedanst1 "A sheep from the big flock". Couldn't be more wrong. Seals are specifically NOT the same as everyone else.

Reading through the comments and I can’t believe no one knows about Extortion 17. This Admiral helped cover that up. That is why he is getting political. He is scared that the truth will be forced out in the open. Look up Extortion 17 and Treason. Our people were murdered in Afghanistan.
This is so inspirational to me. I am a 63 yr old vet., serving 5 yrs in the Navy. I thought boot camp was bull, but I totally understand it all today. It's the little things that trip us up, not the big ones. Deal with the small and you will handle the rest.

I'm a retired Army Sgt who earned air assault wings in the 101st Airborne. The lessons by Admiral McRaven applies there as well as on life. Salute Sir!
Thank you for your Service to my Country! 🙏
I’m just a private going through airborne at 20th EN about to get my wings then go air assault and get that set of wings. Salute brother
Thank you for your service, sir
To the brother in jump school about to go to air assault school. I had some paratroopers in my air assault class in 1984. They all said air assault was tougher. I hope you remain in top physical condition as you'll need to be to get thru it. Best wishes. Air assault!

Former marine and this just gave me chills!! We need leaders like him

Thank you for your service brothers. US Army paratrooper
Future MARINE here and I just wanted to say SEMPER FI
if you desire to continue advocating promoting proselytizing perpetuating war ... yes children need leaders like him.
What does you being a former marine have to do with this speech. You’re not special.
