Hard Times ► Motivational Video 

8 years later, who else is still here?

I just want you to know that these videos saved my life

This video actually stopped me from committing suicide. Please don't mind the name I'm being serious. I lost my close friend to a car accident. I had no father growing up, my mother worked two jobs day & night. Now I'm studying Business. This video is the reason I'm even studying business and the reason I put the pills down. If I fall down 7 times I'm standing up 8. If I'm at my lowest I will see it as a challenge to get back. Thank you to whoever put this video together and the people behind the amazing speeches

People take these motivational Videos for granted.. I lost 66 pounds of fat in in 3 months because of this Video... Thankyou so much, you changed my life

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

"Anyone can have faith when everything is good"

Dear person reading this; the pain will end, the tears will stop, the doors will open.. A season of miracles and blessings are on the horizon! Love you

This got me through my darkest days.

I used to listen to this video everyday for 11 months when I failed 3 businesses and my life was a complete mess. Today thank God I'm a 26 year old Millionaire. Hard Times don't last if you persist on fighting.

Going through the most hardest times in my entire life... No work, seeing my child makes me upset knowing that i dont have nothing to offer her at the moment just love and protection i wish i had more to give . I know material stuff is not everything in life but it is a necessity. Struggle at night going to sleep and have nightmares that wake me up when i do. Thinking about my financial problems and knowing that im in debt. Having my dad sick for the rest of his life brakes my heart. Heart broken, motivation down to zero, upset at life for putting me in this situation that i believe i dont deserve. Times are though... I feel like throwing in the towel but if i do i know i will lose the fight. Small voice in my head tells me to keep on trying idk if its God or just me talking to myself. Wish i could of close my eyes and open them back up and see life in a different way. I will follow whats right and that is keep fighting while i have life and health! God bless everyone !

Stay encouraged everyone. It's about the journey not the destination. Fall in love with the process.

Its been 4 years, but sometimes when life hits hard I come back and listen to this. I just wanna see how much life’s gonna test me! 😤💪 COME ON!!

Still watching this for 10 years

It's wild that I first heard this 7 years ago. It's wild how much life has changed. There's a beauty to it, and a sadness. That's life though, and everything else between To another 7

IT'S NOT OVER, TILL I WIN!!

Why can't I do it? I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I'm coming back with a vengeance. I will prove everyone wrong. I will rise up. I will succeed. I'll never stop until I get there or I'll die trying. There's no turning back. There's not quitting now. I've come too far. All the effort. All the pain. All the sacrifice has to be for a reason. There must be meaning in the struggle. There must be meaning in the fight. Give me your best shot life. You can knock me down, but you can't count me out.

These videos helped me bounce back after I failed in business, now I'm back and 10× better than I was. Thanks a million times.

Gonna make it in the NBA!

Whoever’s reading this, I hope something really wonderful happens to you today!!!

Les brown is the greatest motivational speaker thats ever lived.

I feel like the only person who's not going through hard times and just watches these because I just personally like listening to these guys.

I have listened to this video literally every morning, afternoon and evening during the hardest 6 months of my life. For those who are in that struggle: I can tell that the hard time is a beginning of a better tomorrow, only if you keep going despite everything and everyone!

This video turn me a better personality, finished my graduates and I have work at good company, but the better things it’s, I comeback to Jesus! And my life are totally different, new I’m living the life!

everyday...I watch this kind of video, everytime I feel down about college :( FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS !!!!!!!!!! YOU DID MORE IN 8 MINUTES THAN MY FRIENDS MY WHOLE LIFE !

We always got to keep moving!! keep challenging ourselves no matter the costs, no matter the failures,,,, keep and keep trying until you WIN... Depression, fear, and lack of self esteem is an ILLUSION!!!

hey guys, I just want to share a great news of mine. I battled through suicidal depression when I was 16. Two years ago, I got turned down 13 times for an internship at TikTok. I finally got it this year after trying for two years. I just finished my internship few months ago, and now I started my own agency business making over $10k usd monthly while still being a full time student. I’m tearing up as typing because life gave endless tough lessons but I took them all in and treated life as my biggest master. I hope none of us will give up on ourselves. Before there is hope, there is belief! ❤

Can't give up now. God is greater than my troubles so why should I give up when I have the Creator of the universe on my side. Yes it's hard, but no one ever said it would be easy, but I believe it's worth it. Yes I've made mistakes, but God picks me up every time when I fall. Every day is a new day and as long as I live, there is purpose. It's not over, but I've already won. That's the motivation I get from this video. Thank you!

It's hard to keep going when everyone around you is against you, when every odd is stacked against you, and when you're at the point were you don't even believe in yourself anymore.

I've been sitting in my room thinking about stuff and I finally have something i've been waiting for. I have had the hardest years of my life these past few. Personal struggles. Addictions, drugs, an unhealthy lifestyle all at the age of 16. I used to be so happy as a kid I was imaginative and happy. As I grew older I fell victim to peer pressure. I was always different. I was high strung and always bouncing off the walls as a kid. I was raised by good parents with good values so I was usually always respectful to my teachers but I still always got in trouble. I was always talking or up walking around or distracted. I could never focus and the few times I would get myself too it wast long before I was off task again. This lead to me getting horrible grades and getting in a lot of trouble in school I hated it. I was diagnosed with depression and a few other things that I feel are private and the world doesn't need to know so ill keep them out. But that was the stressor that was the start of it all. I became depressed. I wanted to fit in and be cool so I didn't make the best choices on friends as I got older I started experimenting with things. It started with weed. I got high before I ever got drunk. Do I regret it ? No I love smoking and I will always do it until I probably die. But in the state I was in at the time I couldn't handle it. For someone who was always sad like me to discover that there where things in the world that could make me feel good like that. Relax, take the stress away. It took my mind off of things. Well it was fine when that I was all I was doing and when I kept it under control. Before I knew it as my life continued to get more difficult I started messing with other shit. Things that for awhile took the pain away but in the ended up making me fucking miserable. Nothing is worse then feeling like everyday life doesn't contain enough excitement for you to be satisfied sober. I was then on the long road of pain addiction and heartache that the past few years has been. Ive been to hell and back on so many things im to embarrassed or ashamed to admit. I was a mess. I finally hit rock bottom a few months ago. I found myself in the hospital on suicide watch. But well I was in there I thought alot more then ever before. I changed my perspective . I walked out of that hospital and I realized that ever single pain struggle and heart ache I have gone through.. WAS A GOOD THING. Hell I realized that everyday im still breathing is a day I can turn it around. I can bring my life back I can be successful. Fuck money and a college degree. Fuck a stereotypical success story or sterotypical interpretation of success. I liked money and drugs and worldy possessions and I thought they where the key to being successful. I actually thought that if I had enough money to afford drugs everyday without having to worry about having the moeny to eat or live , That i would be happy. I thought back to when I was a little kid. The happiest time of my life. Money didnt matter I was content with just being alive and living. When I came to that thought I realized IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE HAPPY. And after I realized that I made that my ultimate goal. Happiness. Im going through drug treatment now and counseling. Ive done this before but I know it will work this time because the change in me has happened. I want to change, I want to be happy. I want my freedom from drugs. I realize my talent and potential. I know I have the courage to make it through it. I doubt anyone will even read this and I doubt it makes much sense because Im just writing down my feeling. But if you did read this I want you to know. You can do anything you want too. Thats the beauty of hard work and the beauty of the American Dream. The beauty is that if you never give up. You chase your dreams. and you work hard. You can do anything you want too. From my short 16 years on this unforgiving years ive learned that the key to happiness. Is finding God's purpose for your life. Go out and make a difference. YOU WILL BE HAPPY. I love you all and I hope you found this encouraging

This video changed a lot. When I watched this I thought about my life right now, I thought about my future, and about God. If you are spending your time reading this thank you. If someone is beating you down read this bible verse Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. The Lord my God has changed my life! If you are not a Christian let me just ask of you to at least look into Christianity. I'm not making you but asking. Goodbye, Good day to you, And good luck in life

I don't give a shit what anyone else thinks about this RU-vid video, I need to listen to it almost everyday. It helps.

I went through a divorce. Have a severly autistic son and daughter. Lost a job. I watched this video it helped get me through

I listen to this when I wake up, while driving, studying,working, napping and while working on my dream...it's just so powerful everytime I listen to it is like I never heard it before! Les brown's lecture also are phenomenal!

Get to know yourself fellas... that’s changes everything... because once you know yourself, you will know your weakness and minimize them and focus more on your strengths... best shit I learned

whoever reads this: whatever you facing now is TEMPORARY! DONT LET IT DESTROY YOU! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND NEVER EVER FUCKING GIVE UP!! WE ALL BEEN THROUGH SOME SHIT! THIS IS LIFE . SHIT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE! THE WINNERS ARE THE ONES WHO NEVER GIVE UP! BE WINNER! BE BETTER!

“The fact that you’re still here..that you’re still breathing you’ve got some more work and you owe it to yourself”

Man, I absolutely love how he says: "These are just TEMPORARY inconviniences. They are not stronger than I am." Oh yes, such confidence!

I will be a doctor mark my words. I have to drive 40 minutes a day to school every day. I have to wake up at to 5 in the morning and come back home late each day. This hard work is not for nothing. Im gona do it no matter what. Im gonna kick life's ass.

for all men who are suffering, we have each other here. lets try to move forward together.

I would love to THANK and hug a creator of this video!

I find the most inspirational part of the video is at the end when he says "Its not over until I win" I get chills every time I hear that

I’ve went from wanting to end my life to jumping out of bed every day. I’m motivated, dedicated, inspired, focused to get better and I know I’m going to make a good life for myself. Keep going ppl if I can change my mentality anybody can.

Both parents died and no close family . Toxic relationship finally walked away from.. Most times are good and motivated due to focus on future travel plans . But , go through spells of total emptiness . These videos definitely make a difference. Good things happen and keep the faith in yourself people ❤

I came to this video today to give me motivation in my job. Lately I've been slacking, not performing to my expectations, oversleeping and missing work. And I know that this is nobody's fault but my own, yet I still try to look for reasons why I didn't make my rate, why I overslept. I've been feeling really down, that I can't get back to where I was, and this video gave me that kick in the ass I needed to go to work today and work as hard as I could. I can only hope that I can carry this motivation on until I get to where I need/want to be.

We're living in a time where it's easier than ever to give up, it's easier to hear the quitters because they have such a loud voice (the Internet), easier than ever to feel depressed with all the junk food and alcohol draining your vitality. I hope that one day the humanity of the future will look back on us striving so hard in the age of gluttony and idleness and entitlement, and see that we won. They're there because we refused to indulge, we refused to give in. No matter how much we may fail, only death gets to throw in the towel for us. Never quit. Never surrender. Fuck the stars, aim for the realm of the Gods.

It’s nice to find a video that’s not just sports related. Last year I had a stroke at 26 and lost my career. I’ve wanted to give up a lot of times. This video really helps though. It speaks to me.

Thank you for this video and others alike, sincerely. Close to 9 years later and I return to this during the toughest times, to "reset". It's been a constant reminder to stay hungry, stay strong, and persevere.

I listen to motivational videos everyday during my workout at the gym.. I never listen to music/songs I listen to videos like these and it helps me get that extra rep

The guy that starts to talk at three mins is amazing, he describes almost how I feel.

This is such a great collaboration of many motivational speakers. Most of us have felt this way over the course of our lives, but the totality of the message is God's grace. We are who we are because of God's grace. His strength is what gets us through. All credit goes to Him. As long as we have Jesus, there is no reason to fear, and we can always push forward. Amen! God bless you for sending motivation to keep people moving forward and never give up.

Isn't it amazing how a 9 minute video has made a difference to so many people's lives in this comment section

"As long as you can look up, you can get up!" Very strong video.

LES Brown is the man!!!!

Conditioned my self for 8 years listening to these videos.

9 years later, I am still here. Downloaded in case it will be taken down so I can always watch it, hear it, feel it and continue to work on myself, challenge myself and never give up until the day I die. Maybe even beyond that. I believe that in this life we don't just work on our bodies and our minds but on our spirits, our souls as well. Just like our bodies that we can build them to be healthy, strong and beautiful or let them in a kind of adrift state to become unhealthy, weak, low on energy and ugly... we also build our minds, our spirits and our souls similar to how we build our bodies. By wanting to make a change within our bodies and actually show up and start training we develop will and ambition. By continuing training our bodies and accepting the process of them forging little by little we also learn discipline and commitment and thus we change and forge our minds as well. We understand that for everything that is great in life there is hard work behind it. There is sweat, there are headaches, there are many hours of relaxing and even sleep spent on training and learning instead, there are many risks taken and there are sacrifices. By forging our bodies and our minds we also forge our spirits and souls with many moral values, respect for everything that is living in this world, respect for all other human beings, kindness in our hearts, courage and bravery. And I believe these traits will stay with us even after we will leave our bodies behind for whatever new journey awaits us. Just like Steve Jobs said,don't settle, stay hungry, stay foolish.

I would not be one of those who take this for granted. It's easy to watch a video. What we need is to recognise, acknowledge, understand and accept the effort here. I just want to say, thank you Younes Marxieu.

Younes, I have nothing to say but Thank YOU SO much!!! I promise that when I succeed I will have your talents and gifts to thank for in aiding me in this long, sad, lonely journey to greatness.

The most disrespectful thing you can do is bounce back and prove everyone wrong. I’m rooting for y’all, go get it!

This video changed my life thank you, if you are reading this, may god Bess you

Could be coincidence, could be serendipity, could be fate. But right now, at this point in my life, I needed this video so much. I needed to hear these words, see these images...FEEL these feelings. I needed to be told that as long as I'm alive, there is hope - that no matter how dark the night gets, the Sun will rise again and I will have another chance. It's up to me to take that chance...and I will. This life is MINE and I'll be damned if I give it up so easily. Thanks for making & posting this video, Younes. You are The Man.

Back in 2017 i actually used this video to get myself back in the game. After moving for work to a city i didn't know i found only rejection there. It made me think about suicide. 5 years later i have a bachelors degree in engineering and chase the carreers I want. I see friends on a weekly basis and talk to them on a daily basis. I am closer with my family than I was before. I became more social and open to the world. I can say I live life to my full potential thanks to the motivation of this video. For everybody who reads this, put down the alcohol and pills and face yourself. You might find a wonderfull person in there🧡

I won't forget the day in February 2017 wen I was at my lowest. I found this video and while I was watching this, out of nowhere, it started snowing... It made me believe I could overcome this depression and I did. Hope others can get the same strenght out of this and let me tell you: Isolation is the best way for self improvement.

You can't say that no one is going to be no one is going to be no one is going to be no one is going to be no one is going to be no one is going to be wrong to me. When you really give up and have a hard time, remember that pain is a moment, but greatness is forever. I'm reflecting on myself day by day. Thank you, publisher.

Thank you so much for this video, even all these years later its still pushing me and keeping me hopeful for the future.

6 years later and this is still the first video I come to when I need the strength to get back up. Keep going, keep fighting, stay passionate, push through. We will get through this one day at a time.

This video been very deep in my heart since 3 years ago... I start to watch these videos again. Life been kicking my ass. This time my WHY is my two precious daughter Yukina and Alanna... Mommy love you so much. I'm sorry I can not give you both a complete family. I did try very hard but I am you mother and I will protect you guys from toxic people... We will be fine soon I promise...

10 years later still finding myself coming back to these finds and it hits every single time

listen to this with your eyes closed. trust me it hits you harder :)

Perfect timing for me, best birthday present!

Hard times are temporary, but the lessons they impart can last a lifetime..

I usually come to this video in my darkest hours. It’s been a long time since I’ve needed to watch this. I guess that time has come again.

I was trying to hold it in, but that last sentence just made me break in tears.

Younes Marxieu Stunning... Thanks for taking endless time to put this together...

Road to becoming a millionaire is harder than I thought but I’m thankful for everything

This video is timeless. It continues to save my life every now and then. Every-time life crushes me, this video lifts me back up. Thank you.

I think one of the things I appreciate about Younes' work is that he doesn't just take someone else's work (like Matheusz's) and copy most of their content into his own work as if it's his own creation. He actually strives to be original with his editing and the sources he uses, unlike many other RU-vid content creators. Thank you for that. Good job too, by the way.

God bless you all keep on working and working you will become greater ten you already are stay strong God loves you!

These videos help me find myself again, the hunger is coming back and I am feeling more resilient everyday

'A poor view of yourself'.. that's a hard thing to change, but got'DAYUM is the experience worth it all. Burning away your self-doubt, not being satisfied with being mediocre.. this isht is medicine.

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen

You know that feeling you get when your at your limit? Your mind and body say fuck it and you feel like you need to quit? It feels like your going to die and will completely be broken? Well when your soul comes in its all a difference. Mind,Body, and Soul are the 3 things that make us. Not just humans but anything that has an ounce of life in it. Your mind will break at your limit your body will break at your limit but your soul is that tiny voice in the back of your head thats saying "keep going." When you reach this point you have a choice to ignore that voice or listen to it. If you ignore it well go sit down take a break because guess what? You just quit on yourself and only the weak take breaks. But if you decide to pay attention to that voice and break through that limit you will become so much stronger then you have ever imagined. An example is like saying the sky is the limit...well that is true the sky is the limit and trust me the sky aka your limit is very very big. But what is beyond the sky what is beyond your limit??? Passed the sky is space. Space is an infinite place with unlimited possibilities. Once you get past the sky which is your limit you will find space which is limitless and you will have infinite strength. But remember this the travel from earths sky to space has gravity shit loads of gravity but when it tries to pull you back down to earth you have to shake it off and reach space. You must set a limit so high that once you reach it...you will become limitless.

to all those dreamers out there ✌

Eric Thomas. I appreciate you. You are a beautiful mind. As well as all these motivators. Keep going. Dont stop. Use that pain. ML

This is the best motivational video I found

Perseverance, faith, motivation and patience are essence of this clip. Each one of us possess these qualities, among others, but we lack the power to practice them. Good luck to you all!

I wonder if it is even possible in the world of today to wake up in the morning and know that you are living youre life at youre terms..

If you keep fighting you'll never lose. The only way to lose is to go be up.

My first time hearing this!!!! Love it! This is the best mix of speeches ever! I have probably heard each of these speeches the way the respective speaker spoke them on their videos... but the organization of the words spoken and brought together is truly awesome. The way +Lesbrown leads into +EricThomas is inspirational. Whoever did this understood what was trying to be explained! Bless you and your dreams, thank you for sharing!

My cat saw this with me. He is now a lion...

This video is so powerful! I needed this! Sometimes I do wonder if my RU-vid suggestions is a voice from God! Amen

Things are better now but 1 year ago things were rlly bad. I love lifting. 1 year ago I used to wake up at 4:00 am go to the gym, go to school (high school) go to my full time job after school until 11pm. Then I’d go to my broken home. I did it on 4 hours a sleep for a whole year. I gained 30lb. I’ve pulled 365lb on my deadlift and im almost ready to pull 405lb. I never thought I’d get this far. Rn im a senior and I don’t work full time anymore bc circumstances arnt as bad anymore

Started listening to this about 3 years back, before every xc meet. 3 years later, memorized and all, i still listen to this before every race. Thank you to everyone apart of this for your encouragement for me. Been to states 2 years in a row now because of it, working for a 3rd right now ;)

Thanks for making this video. It has really helped me to deal with hard times.

This literally made me cry.

I have seen this Video 8 years ago for the first time and despite watching it over a 100 times over a course of those 8 years I finally begin to truly understand it. I am 24 now and 8 years ago I was 16 thats incredible and in 8 years im gonna be 32. Life moves fast so move faster. Im gonna make those next 8 years count.

i just cant stop watch these video. thanks a lot

By far the best motivational video I've ever seen

Who I'm 17 years old, and I almost cried..... great speech

I’ve looked to this compilation all throughout my 20s and now entering my 30s I’ve come back to it when I need a reminder. Working 7 days a week and training to be a bodybuilder. If you can look up you can get up!
