When is stopping you from living your dream life? What's the driving factor of success? And why are some individuals extremely driven to push themselves beyond their comfort?

These are some of the questions I've asked myself and something I think about a lot.

Success in fitness, health, business, social skills or whatever another area of your life will come from going outside of the comfort zone.

But why should we do that? Why exit the comfort zone when inside we have almost everything we need for a nice life.

And that's something I wanted to explore in this video. To share with you guys the force that drives me personally and to stimulate your mind to find your own.

I see a lot of people going through their days like they're going to live forever.

The fact is most people have no sense of urgency.

As Confucius said, "You have two lives. The second one begins when you realize you only have one."

Often I get asked, "Where do you find your motivation?"

Knowing that my time here is limited and that this moment is the only moment I have.

Tomorrow is not guaranteed, and all I can do is make the best of the moment I have.

I'm not a very emotional guy. And even when thinking about death and motivation, I'm looking for data.

Where can we find data on this topic? It's actually not that hard.

We have the top 5 regrets of the dying (https://www.mindful.org/no-regrets):
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

And as you can see a lot of it has to do with taking action, breaking out of social conditioning and becoming the best person you can be.

If you're looking to live a happy fulfilled life there is not much time for procrastination, life just goes by too fast. The opportunities that you will be given are abundant, but there are a time and place when you have to commit and go "all-in."

I hope this type of a philosophical video resonated with you, and let me know in the comments below if you're like more of these kinds of videos.

Quotes:

"Remember how long you've been putting this off, how many extensions the gods gave you, and you didn't use them. At some point you have to recognize what the world it is that you belong to; what power rules it and from what source you spring; that there is a limit to the time assigned you, and if you don’t use it to free yourself it will be gone and will never return." - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (Book 2.4)

"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." - Steve Jobs

"Only Put Off Until Tomorrow What You Are Willing to Die Having Left Undone." - Pablo Picasso.
