The reason I think we fall is that we quite or give up because it looks to hard or people would I cant. But if you try and give it 100% you can do it, even if you do fall and didn't make it get back up and do it again. Life is hard and it's a struggle but can push it back harder and get what you want.

I agree with you there. Life is hard but when we put the whole of our heart into the effort we show then, even if we fail the first time, we will at least still believe in our own self. Which I believe is a key thing ever person should think.

Wow, just wow. The video left me speechless. It made so many good points that it's hard to just focus on just one part of it. The part where they said our greatest fear is that we are inadequate is so true. I understand it on so many levels. I believe that we all do. Not because our fears hold us back but because alot of the time we are afraid that they wont and that we will have opportunities too early in life and not be mentally or physically prepared for it. Alot of the time when this happens we give up before the fear of failing even really registers in our mind. These things can be hard but I truly believe that if we put our minds and hearts into it that there is almost no way we could truly fail

This video shows you that life can completely run you over but as long as you get back up and keep trying you can be successful. Also, the video reminded me that if you want to be successful you have to want it more that most other things!! The quote about fear to me means that we are more afraid of what we can accomplish and who we can become than we are afraid of failing.

During the video, all I was thinking isbthe limits I set myself. The video talked about getting back up, go for the gold, don't say you can't do it. Say you can do it, stand up and give it your all. Be strong, give your competition war. Go for the sky and up. Because the only limit is the one you set yourself.

I think we fall so that we know we aren't perfect. If we don't ever fall we will never know how much better we can get. We also fall to see who will be the ones to quit or keep going. After the fall is the most important part.

I believe this video really makes a statement as it gives so many examples of how tough life can be and how people have the strength to keep going until they accomplish their goal. It's amazing how inspired a person can get while watching the video, this is when you realize you are not pushing yourself to the limit. We are often afraid that we won't reach others expectations but we should really be focused on reaching our own.

Iv actually watched this video a couple of times and all of those times, I felt like I had given up but this video helped me keep moving forward. This video is giving people things to look forward to like hope, success, relief. This video is right , this world doesn't care about you and your feelings. Only you should care about you , only you got your own back because if you don't then who does? only you got what it takes to reach beyond your limits of thinking because sitting and waiting for someone to come along to guide you isn't going to get you no where its just going to enable you. Push harder for what you want and your time will come.

But is up to us to get back up if fail and keep on fighting because life is not all about rainbows and waiting for something to come to you, if we believe in are self we could end up being something in life.

My thoughts and feelings after the video are that it proves the mindset that I've had on myself on the upcoming year in playing golf. I've only played for about 7 months and I can honestly say that I'm not the best on the team, but that doesn't mean that the mindset that I have for myself is the best. Yeah I will most likely not get a scholarship off of golf and I've told myself that, but I know for a fact that my determination to the sport and the drive that I have will not be matched by anyone that I play with. The quote "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." to me means that you can't limit yourself on what you can and can't do, you have explore the many talents that God naturally gave you and you have to hone in those particular traits that the good Lord has blessed you with. It just seems that some people don't want to do that, they would rather just get by with what they have instead of actually taking charge of their life and pursuing what they actually want and can do. It all depends on whether you want to sit back and watch, or are you going to stand-up and actually take some actions and be in charge? The ball is in your court, all you have to do is just pick it up and score.

I believe that this video shows us that when people give more than 100%, more than what they have, they can accomplish their goals. Our fears are ourselves in which we think we cannot do something. That's why people fail because they quit or they think they cannot do it. However, if we had the determination to give our all and more, anybody can accomplish anything. The quote in the video tells me that our biggest fear is what we can become when we accomplish something and what we could accomplish if we went the 110%.

I've seen this video before and it never stops motivating me. The video to me represents a very powerful meaning of knowing your own inner power. Like the video said it is our light that frightens us. We as humans don't really know what we can accomplish and i believe to many that's maybe a little to much. Not many actually took the time to think about what they can do or the time to figure it out. I think if we took some time to truly figure out who we are we will be successful.

By watching the video I realized that many times we let our fears bring us down and stop us from achieving what we really want. The fear we have within ourselves is sometimes so great that we forget what we're working towards. We should never give, never surrender and like Teddy Roosevelt said "there's nothing to fear than fear itself."

This video was a huge eye opener. Everyone in this world has goals and for us to be able to reach those goals we have to get 100%. If you have a mind set that something is too hard or that you can't do it you wont be able to do it. Our biggest fear is failing and you can't have that mind set.

Many people let the fear of failure get in the way of reaching their goals and dreams. We are much more able to accomplish our goals then we realize. We really have to push ourselves, and once we fall down we have to get back up. What really hit the hardest was the quote when they talked about pain being temporary so you might as well keep pushing. But if you quit, the pain will last forever.

Roxanne i agree that people let the fear of failure get in the way of reaching their goals and dreams, people are afraid to fail, i think a part of that is because of our human pride, we don't won't to be failures.

I think that when people have goals that they feel like they can't accomplish, all they really need is somebody to tell them that they can do it. Videos like this one can be really inspirational - especially to people who feel like giving up. It can be scary to pursue your dreams. While there is the possibility of failing, there is also the possibility of succeeding, and both can be scary. Sometimes when you achieve your goals, it can be hard to feel truly fulfilled because when you have been working for the same thing for such a long time, it can be hard to find something new to look forward to.

The video made me feel powerful. The speakers all discuss that no matter what you face in life, never give up. There will be obstacles that challenge your ingenuity to overcome them and proceed forward. As Confucius said "He who who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right." This means if you tell someone or tell yourself that you can't or can do something, than you're going to think you can or can't. So by believing that, it will influence your actions, proving yourself right.

I think the reason we are afraid to go beyond of what people say that we can do is and what we tell ourselves of how far we can go is because we limit ourselves to our obvious abilities instead of discovering more of what we can do. If we push ourselves further we can learn and discover what we are capable of doing.
