Shia LaBeouf

   So I have been thinking a lot about a short motivational video that Shia LaBeouf did about 10 years ago. He received some negative criticism for the video and was used for many memes when the video was first created. He did give a good positive message, but how it was delivered the message was what was criticized. 

  Pretty much everyone focused on how weird the video was, rather than the very powerful message that he deliverers. I don’t blame them for that, because he does do a lot of weird movements, but he sounds like he is coming from a place of frustration of dealing with people who are always putting off or afraid to take a chance and he bluntly yells “Just Do It”.

 It is a short 1 minute-ish video. He also says “if you’re tired of starting over then stop giving up”. The video is just super inspiring to me when I think about it. A lot of my problems are solved by simply follow such easy advice. I think the reason why it resonates a lot with me is because there is no 300 self help book, or huge seminar about how to be a better human, but just a simple truth that solves my problems.

  I have no issues if others use those other resources, I believe they are still very useful. I just really like how the video is short and sweet and it’s  up to the viewer to do what you like with the info you just got. It feels as though he is giving me the keys to success for free. Now I just have to use that mindset and “Just Do It”, “stop giving up”. He says so much a such a short amount of time.

   He say a little more then the 2 points I put in here, but I highly recommend watching the video. I put the link in here and if you had time to read my blog (thank you for that) then I really encourage you to watch the 1 minute video. Even if you have already watched it before; a refresher never hurt nobody.

 I resonate so well with this video because it also reminds me of Mastery by Stuart Emery( just really really condensed). Definitely not a word for word, but a lot of what Mastery is. You don’t wake up to mastery you work at it. You only fail if you give up. You can only obtain it by consistently going towards your goals. Taking action. “Just Do It”.

 I would like to add mindfully to the possibly trying to achieve something. Because hitting my head against a 30 inch steel wall is not going to eventually break even if I’m really motivated, but not giving up on trying to figure how to get though that wall is a different story.

  I won’t say I’m completely and mentally all better now, but I have been very active with thinking positively and even did some kung fu. I did not make all good choices, but I at least started to make some better decisions. Even going in person to the meeting for me was hard. I really just wanted to be online. 

  I truly don’t like being in the public. They are all related to my silly way of thinking some times, but I know I can eventually get better. I have to. Also the honey was delicious. (Thank you)

Anyways I do have some numbers to put down this time and the link that I highly recommend. Thanks again for giving me your time.
