The following is an inspiring video by Joe Rogan. Perhaps best known for his work on reality television show Fear Factor and in standup comedy, Joe Rogan has since come to host one of the most successful podcasts in history, offering a platform for discussing current events, civil liberty, and consciousness.<\/p>\n

In this short yet powerful video, Joe offers brilliant tips for staying motivated, even when the pressures of life and the ugliness in our world start to bring us down.<\/p>\n

1. \u201cForget about whatever financial disasters you\u2019ve had, personal failures, relationship failures. What would the hero of your life\u2019s movie do right now?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

All of us have faced such challenges, and too many of us dwell on them, repeating the story in our heads over and over. This does nothing but exhaust us, bring us down, and keep us stuck in victim mode and self pity.<\/p>\n

The truth is, each \u201cfailure\u201d holds valuable gifts and lessons. How can we truly know what we want unless we experience what we do not want? How do we know happiness without knowing sadness? Or pleasure without pain? The beauty of the Contrast Experience (also known as Duality) can never be underestimated; it is an essential part of our learning here on Planet Earth.<\/p>\n

The past is the past, and the future is yet to be written. Drop your past stories and live in this moment \u2013\u00a0 Take Action NOW.<\/p>\n

2. \u201cWe define ourselves far too often by our past failures. That\u2019s not you, you are this person right now, you\u2019re the person who\u2019s learned from those failures and you can choose to be the hero of your own movie right now.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

We learn through trial and error. Where would we be without making mistakes, without trying something new, without learning what doesn\u2019t work so we can figure out what does work? Nobody becomes \u201csuccessful\u201d without \u201cfailing\u201d many times along the way.<\/p>\n

Think about it: how did you learn to roll over, crawl, and walk? You failed a few times, maybe many times, before you figured it out. Each \u201cfailure\u201d taught you something and you used that new knowledge to move forward. When we were babies, no one warned us against failing; there was just love, encouragement, and support. It didn\u2019t matter whether we got it right the first time, or the twentieth time. We just kept trying new things and had fun with it.<\/p>\n

Then, somewhere around age 4 or 5, when we started school, we began to realize there might be consequences to trying and not succeeding. We became scared that people would laugh at us or think we\u2019re stupid; we became preoccupied with how others perceive us. We began to seek approval and modified our behaviours to fit these unbalanced fears and thus began a lifetime \u2014 for most of us \u2014 of trying to fit in and please everyone. We got stuck on the \u201cfear of failure program.\u201d It\u2019s time to finally realize the value of making mistakes. We are not our past \u2014 we are only this moment. So stop worrying about \u201cfailure\u201d and just take action. Move forward.<\/p>\n

3. \u201cWrite down your goals, write down things you want to improve, write down things you won\u2019t tolerate from yourself, write down things you\u2019ve done in the past that you never want to see yourself do again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writing down our goals and values \u2014 what is truly important to us, what makes time stop when we are doing it, what makes our heart sing with joy \u2014 is very helpful. Very few people do this, yet it is a key step towards self awareness.<\/p>\n
