- / johnvonachen - In December 2009, I was privileged to speak before a large group of business professionals and entrepreneurs in Russia. My topic was, how to Create Your Best Year Ever in 2010.
On that day, I ended by sharing a video my team and I had created to summarize the highlights of what I had taught.
The audience was so moved by the video, many asked if they could have a copy.
Today . . . I am sharing the video with you.
My hope is this video encourages you as well.
Share this video with anyone you know who needs a bit of encouragement and inspiration in these challenging times!
It might make a difference in their day . . . and maybe, just maybe . . . their whole year!
Love what you do and keep doing it. Visualize yourself in a state of good health and success. Imagine your screenplays being noticed by everyone and visualize yourself with all the money you need. Be happy and always see the positive side of everything.
I want to thank nahid hamza for sharing this: "Really amazing !!! 3 minutes in another world !! No comment !!!
All what I want to say is "BRAVO" for you !!" Maybe, the most inspirational video ever . . .
I use to watch this video almost everyday during the period Jan - May 2012. I screwed up my career at that time and was aimless. Right now in one of the best 20 schools in the US. Thanks a ton!
i always watch this video when im angry, sad, discouraged, nervous or disappointed.... and believe me.. THIS IS THE PERFECT SUMMARY OF VALUES IVE EVER LEARNT hats off to you.. thank you for this.!!
Stay positive always!!! Thats the way!!!
I don't think a human being can always be positive. But it is definitely better to concentrate on solutions rahter than problems.
I want to #thank Mark Forquer for sharing this: "John, thank you for this video. I have been a 'nobody' my whole life and am 52 yrs old and still a nobody. I am a teacher and I don't make much of a difference in anyone's life but after seeing this video, I WANT to change."
Maybe, the most inspirational video ever . . .
You're somebody!
Keep ya head up soldier keep fighting :-D
You really used a hashtag for the word "thank"?
This inspired me to become a veterinarian
John Von Achen hahaha yeah lol
I adore this movie, since 2011, so much and have also used it with junior physicians.
I'm now successful in my career and have a decent sense of compassion for others.
Thank you.
At 71 years season I never knew where I fit in,uncomfortable around certain people,No faith or trust in myself, self doubt thanks to your video.I will fearlessly step in to the unknown.
"most inspirational video ever..." for anyone who has never seen another video, ever!
John,
Thank you for this video. I have been a "nobody" my whole life and am 52 yrs old and still a nobody. I am a teacher and I don't make much of a difference in anyone's life but after seeing this video, I WANT to change.
You're most welcome! It's nice to know that our materials have had a positive impact on your life, and touched you on a personal level. And i think that as a teacher you can make a lot of difference in people's life.
HEY MARK HOW CAN U BE A TEACHER AND FEEL YOUR A NOBODY.A TEACHER IS CONSTANTLY INFLUENCING AND BUILDING HIS PUPILS .IT SHOULD BE AWESOME .EITHER YOUR VERY HUMBLE OR YOUR'E UNDER ESTIMATING YOUR VALUE!
Gersh Davis I think I feel this way because I get no feedback. The faces come and they go. And when they graduate they never come back. So I never know a thing.
I just showed this video to my communications class and they loved it!!!
we're 14 years old and I could tell that it changed thier views forever. thank you!
You’re absolutely right! It is very important to remember these things!
I want to #thank John Van Achen for thanking every fucking person who leaves a positive comment on this fucking video.
This video should actually be called "Maybe, the worst stock footage ever...".
Maybe?
האירוע הזה חשוב לי מאוד
Thank you, John, for including this connection in your note to congratulate me on the new position. It is a real boost and I will be sharing it with all my new recruits.
This...this video filled my heart with hope during a hard time. The reminder that I can still do anything in my life was just the uplift I needed. Thank you so much for this video.
Hi Tarun Palan from India it is mind blowing Thanks "John, for your video clips i want to share with everyone just believe and have faith & feel it keep positive thinking attitude "Really Amazing, I have started practice and it work like miracle.
Tarun Palan you are most welcome
Holy shit! The generic things every inspirational speaker has ever said rolled into one sappy PowerPoint-esque video. I've had bowel movements more inspiring than this.
I'm sorry that you didn't like the video
some people just dont get it. i think the video is fantastic!!
If it helps one person, then its worth it. I'm not a fan of microwaved motivational casserole but you can't deny that it does inspire people.
Thank you for your words!
Based on the message that i keep on getting all these years, this video has helped many people to change their lives.
I just saw this for the first time and it brought me to tears, because it is so RIGHT and many people FORGET this about themselves. Thank you!
Be Causal I'm happy to know it was helpful to you. Success to you!
Thanks so much John,very inspirational- ALWAYS REMEMBER ' '' A great conversationalist is a person who can hear if the other person is not listening".....and that will create a great day, beginning and year
Loved It! Totally Inspired. Best video I've seen in awhile. Short buy Effective. #PuttingItonReplay
I want to #thank AngelJenaful for sharing this: "So what I needed to see today :) I so powerful and uplifting to change our beliefs and go after the future that we deserve -- such a big lesson for me at the moment to not give up and reach my goals :)" Maybe, the most inspirational video ever . . .
Hi John it is now 2014. where are you now ?
You know john not can everyone do that some of us are stuck in a cage where every path is just not big enough for us to slip out to reach these gials
I understand why that might appear to be the case; however, I must disagree with you. I’m a firm believer that everyone can succeed because success must be viewed in much broader terms. Yes, only a few of us will earn the most money, have the biggest house, car, etc. or the looks of a movie star or supermodel. However, having traveled throughout the world, I’ve learned that we all have special gifts, what I call our individual "genius". With that genius, everyone has the ability to move forward, even if it’s a small step every day, or every other day. Everyone on the planet can achieve more and move forward to their own brand of success.
+Mujtaba Gangji there a rainbow in every corner just try to change the way of perspective
+John Von Achen The most important in our life is to be who we ARE and not them which we SHOULD be !!!! In the moment when we start to be the very own person we are indentic with our inner self and stabil in the life - but when we try to be like other and so like them would us have - we have to be unsuccess about this can never be OUR SELF and in this way everything must going down! Also in this material world is nothing for ever also not the difficult times, them follows ALWAYS better times again :) HAve a great time yhs Cit Shakti dd
Play this first thing in the morning. It will really motivate you to follow your dreams, whatever it may be. Great job John and thank you for making this video!
Every time i feel like giving up on my dreams i watch this video and it really has me near tears because i begin to realize again that the world is mine for the taking. I just need the courage to take the first step. Thank you for such a great video. It has definitely made me see the world through eyes of optimism.
*sigh* ... it is so hard to find good inspirational videos on youtube. All I ever find is drivel nonsense like this.
Anytime you say things like "you have 2 choices, really" - Wrong. Life has a virtually unlimited number of choices.
"There are 2 kinds of people in the world" - Wrong, there is an uncountable variety of people in the world.
"You can either . . . Or" - Wrong. The number of choices people normally have are so numerous that there is no "either - or". That kind of nonsense actually limits the "creative thinking" these motivational types keep encouraging everyone to use. They want you to be creative and see more possibilities - THEN IN THE VERY NEXT BREATH - say crap like "either you can . . . or" - insisting on a false dichotomy.
Is it possible to be inspirational without completely turning off all your critical thinking skills?
Athena Brown Simple concepts are often the most profound. Yes, this video was created to be as simple as possible because it was created to encapsulate the ideas we had shared during a seminar. Regardless of whether you believe some of the phrases are “drivel nonsense”, thousands of people have found these concepts helpful. Most importantly, they work. I challenge you to create an inspirational video that contains what you want to see.
Certainly you can build something made completely out of logical fallacies, half truths, and things which are demonstrably false, and still have someone see it as inspirational.
Some people may indeed find inspiration by completely ignoring reality and established factual information. For example, they could be told if they "JUST BELIEVE", they can throw away their prescription medications. They might end up feeling "pumped", but it's not a recipe for good decision making. In some cases, this could be potentially dangerous. The person is motivated and inspired to do something they shouldn't.
This, and things like it, are certainly what I refer to as "drivel nonsense".
It's very possible to make something inspirational that also promotes a psychological and emotionally healthy understanding of reality.
As for your challenge - I do not know how to operate video-editing software. However, there are other vids on youtube that are very inspirational, and don't require that critical thinking skills take a leave of absence.
Ben Smith
The video explicitly says:
"You have 2 choices really" - "You can choose to just survive" / or / "You can choose to succeed." - "If you choose to succeed and decide to prosper - anything is possible."
It does not say any of the things that you have added. It doesn't say "every choice is made with intention", nor does it say anything about those intentions being positive or negative, nor does it say anything about anything about anything that followed.
What's more, given the situation and circumstance, choosing to survive can be positive, while choosing to succeed can be negative. There is nothing inherent in "survival" or "success" that makes either one inherently positive or negative. I also don't see how "choose to survive or choose to succeed" counts as a life strategy, although I appreciate that you're trying your best to help the author by making these reaches.
You could have stopped there, but since you went further to state that my comments are a waste of time, I will point out that both my above comments have received more up votes than the author of this video has received on any of his during the past year. So it looks like the majority of people would disagree, and find my comments rather enlightening.
Looks like you might have wasted your time. :)
Ben Smith
Wait a minute, Ben Smith the video says "Question Everything," probably the only message in it that I agree with, but when Athena does just that, you call her "argumentative," as if that's a "negative" quality. This video is subject to public commentary and that means everyone's commentary is welcome, whether you agree with it or not. Now, you can certainly use your freedom of speech to try to deprive or stifle other people's freedom of speech in this forum, but obviously, no one has to "move on" just because you disagree with them, so this endeavor is clearly a waste of time. Besides, Athena did not try to justify her comments, she merely pointed out that her comments, unlike yours, have not been a waste of time, but have indeed been enlightening and very entertaining.
Cheryl Lewis Read the first comment in this thread. Look at the tone, the language used, the all caps etc. It's unnecessarily obnoxious and insulting.
I've removed my previous comments because in retrospect I was just as guilty of doing this in replying to her comment in that type of tone. My apologies.
I agree that people should be free to comment in a public forum, I just take exception to comments made merely to complain, and made in order to demonstrate intellectual superiority over the person who created the content in a self gratifying fashion. Either way, I'm finished debating this. Thanks.
I want to #thank Arshitip for sharing this: "Thank you so much...I used to win everything in my life..But I failed 2 times consecutively in 5 years..No matter what.. I will win again" Maybe, the most inspirational video ever . . .
“When the world gives me no path, no opportunity I can go out and create my own” - very well said, and a very good approach to life! Thank you for the comment and all the best to you in the future.
One of the best motivational videos ever, great job
I want to #thank determined1482 for sharing this: "Great video. I’ve had social anxiety for my whole life and sometimes it can be hell. Nearly everyday I feel like giving up, a lot of the times it just feels impossible that things will ever change. This is a #great video and well made. I’ve been just surviving my whole life and in the past year I’ve decided to change. It’s 1000s of times harder than just surviving but it’ll be worth the effort in the end. Great video and keep up the good work." Maybe, the most inspirational video ever . . .
For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
- Philippians 4:13
But not everything for yourself on earth, keep that in mind
Salamat
or maybe something to pretend to fill gaps
...or?
well it's nearing the end of 2012(probably the hardest year yet) 2013 inches away and your video fueled my fire even more and nothing will stop me from achieving what i want and need. Thanks a lot.
This video had many great techniques. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah I can do everything 😂😂😂
THERE WAS NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT THIS VIDEO. I HAVE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE. THERE ARE A LOT OF VIDEOS LIKE THIS ON YOU TUBE. THE DISCRIPTION FOR THIS MADE IT SOUND LIKE IT'S A AMAZING SPEECH. THIS IS JUST GENERAL HYPE STUFF.
Why would anyone come here to watch a motivational video and leave a negative comment? This is amazing and positive. Keep going and you will get what you want. Never give up. Greatness is in you.
Love this I was looking for videos of people celebrating to lift my vibrations and this popped up. 😁✨
so.. all this video is saying is basically "you can do anything" over and over again... well that was a waste of time, can i have my money back now please?
+EnderCrypt You poor sole By hearing something positive over and over and over you might then believe it. 50% of all partnerships fail and every
one knows it but new ones start every day. Look up and live
JAMES WATSON lol wut? i dont mind hearing positive things, but when a video is titled "maybe, the most inspirational video ever" i have to question the fact that it really didnt do anything sensational, you seem to think that because a video brings something positive to people it is immune to feedback, and i have to tell you, no, its not, my comment reflects my personal experience with this video, if you thought the same or if you tought that this was the most amazing video ever, thats fine
all that this video does it pushing positivity into your mind, this works for some people, some people might even need it, but other people like.. me.. i dont need it, im perfectly happy whitout needed to be reinforced by things like this, ops.. writting a bit too much now
TL:DR: for me this was a pointless video, it might been great for you, but everyone experiences life diffrently
+EnderCrypt I understand that you don't need a little positivity in your life. That's good. But if you don't need it, you have no right to criticize this video for trying to inspire. What you said was not constructive criticism, it was an outright insult. What you said was "Hey, I don't need inspiring. so don't show me this video about inspiration". and if that's what you got out of this and if you do not need to be inspired. than your best option was to simply not watch the video. a video titled "maybe, the mainspring video ever" is saying that MAYBE it will inspire you. It was not saying that it WAS the most inspiring video.Once again, you had no right to criticize this video and all your doing is trolling.
Phillip Bracha the video said it would maybe inspire you
the content was just positivity, nothing that was ACTUALLY inspiring, look you cant write maybe on everything and get away with it
I love how the last line is the catch phrase to Naruto
Because that's my ninja way! :P
Thank you so much for this! I was feeling really down a little bit ago and I wasn't entirely sure how to pick myself back up and watching your video was really what I needed to watch! Thank you for your inspiration!
Thanks for people like John.
Nope. a big build up and the actual video LAME. bs platitudes strung together. YAWN
IKR
*avoiding the negativity*
האירוע הזה חשוה לי מאוד
Celebrate your success czcams.com/video/4VXhMnDIDDg/video.html
i love this. every time I am inspired I get tears of joy & usually its hard to make me have happy tears. it happened watching this & I am about to post it on my best friends facebook wall. she is in need of inspiration & faith in her self & this is going to uplift her & help her realize she has the power to overcome what she is going through
Win or learn, I never lose, I will succeed, not immidiately, but absolutely and definitely.
I'll take action while others hesitate, I'll think big when others don't, I'll sacrifice when others won't. I'll dare to dream of greatness when others fear it. I'll outwork my competition, day and night.
This is the most inspiring video I have ever watched. A big thanks to Mr. Van Achen for sharing his message of hope!
-Adam J.M.M Mason

Says The House of Jokes. Wonderful. :)
Wow.. I have never seen such wonderful video.. Thanks for uploading.. Its mentioned with pics
John, one of the most inspiration messages I've ever came across. I'm very big into the human level (thought process) and this sir is simply phenomenal. This video should be used in every single training development class/seminar across the world. Thank you for the genuine inspirational message as it will not only be shared, it will be remembered and utilized.
Thank you so much for this video. Have an exam tomorrow for nift and I really needed this to boost my confidence to get into fashion design.
I think I'm in another world after seeing this video.....tysm
One of the BEST videos on CZcams.
Thank you! It always takes me a lot of time and effort to find some good music for the videos!
We can do all things that are possible. Thank you, John for the inspiration in stilling in us to know that we can be successful. It not only takes us, but also, those that we have a relationship with to encourage us, guide us, and believe in us. I am a believer and with the continued love and experience granted upon me makes all the difference as to how far I will challenge myself and succeed.
You are most welcome! I am glad the video has been a blessing to you, and I totally agree with your attitude to failures.
You’re most welcome! It’s my pleasure. When I read your post, it really made my day. I’m glad the video was a blessing to you.
Today is the day when i watched this video 100 times.
Everytime i watch this, it seems giving me different meaning.
Just the Best Inspirational thing ever forever
Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad to know that you liked the video
I like the sound without words has a good impact.
To be honest, I was depressed the way my mom talk to me...I don't want to stay around her when she talks rubbish!
This vedio helped me to stay positive☆ Good work.
Thank You Sir, Thank You so much for this video.... It is a true source of, what I regard as "Infinite Inspiration"....... !!
Thank you for sharing your experience! I totally agree that success means achievements in different aspects of your life and a reasonable balance.
It was great hearing from you and knowing that my materials were so helpful. I shared your comments with my team, and they were appreciative as well.
Thats the most inspirational video ever I have seen, no words for this video.
Which is an excellent quote! I entirely agree with that
I like it very much!!! Your future is in your hand, you are born to success
That’s very impressive to know that my video is used in a success class! Thank you for sharing this with me. And I respect you life choice very much!
Came across this and wanted to share as feel it is what we all need to be ready to take 2014 by storm!
This is still one of the best clips on you tube.If you have a heart this will inspirational to you
אז האירוע הזה חשוב לי מאוד
Absolutely the most inspirational video I've ever seen, I will put it on for my employees and say it out in my language to make it more efficient
I'm just 18 and in this age I already suffered a lot but this kinda videos,quotes etc inspires me lot,,i promise one day I will become something amazing :)
M. Shabdik- I've come to realization that we all just share space on this planet. But we are all on our own individual paths in life. Don't let anything discourage you from reaching your dream/enlightenment in this lifetime. But do it the right way honest and hard work. Remember the world only turns, but it's up to you to make it spin. And you can make it spin in a positive or negative way. May the heavens bless you
thanks man i appreciate that :)
Thank you John , What an inspirational video and what am impact it leaves . I shared this video in one of my presentation about being women in business and everyone was so inspired . Thank you again .
Great! Will watch it every day.
This is one of the most inspiracional videos ever I'll show it to all my school!!!
Today I was assessed by a lecturer and did poorly. This completely broke me because this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I'm in my second year and have 2 more years to go. Others say that I can improve next year (tho i passed) but i felt like I wanted to give up and die. I was in the bathroom all day crying. I had nothing other than my family to live for. I was at my edge. This video really helped me. If I hadn't seen this video- I don't know what would have become of me
I am worried for what my future will hold. I hope to go to university next year to study business. But after I graduate the fact that there is no path to follow is what scares me, especially during this time in humanity. But I come back and watch this video and it gives me some hope, that when the world gives me no path, no opportunity I can go out and create my own. Thank you for making these videos they give me the small bit of confidence to keep me going and keep alive my hopes and dreams.
Thank u for sharing this video iam 47yrs after watching the video i have different thoughts for my new business
John over 4,000,000 views this is one of the greatest videos on youtube thank john its great and well done
Thank you for taking the time to send me feedback. It's gratifying to know that the work of me and my team is paying off. Your comment means a lot to me and it adds fuel to our efforts to move forward in helping others.
why all the dislikes? this was one of the greatest and most realistic inspirational videos ive seen in a while
i just got the shivers!
I hate to criticize, but I wish you made this video last longer. This is spot on man. Thank you.
And to everyone that wants to really criticize this video - he has made it so everyone can get value from it. You can delve as deep as you wish into philosophical debates about certain statements or points, but the objective here was to reach a wide audience and get a very positive message across - I feel you have done that. We could argue the finer points all day, but the simple fact is, I have shared this video with a few close friends, and just as it has for me;- It has made a difference. For me personally, watching this video was a light bulb moment. All the best mate.
i love this video, it make me try try and try more than, sometime i was tired , cause there are a lot of difficult, but i never stopped. thanks for sharing
I see that competition is a positive, uplifting experience for people and companies. By working hard every day to move forward, they are totally focused on being the best they can be.
Mike, thank you for sharing your idea of success!
Really amazing !!! 3 minutes in another world !! No comment !!!
All what I want to say is "BRAVO" for you !!
So Very True! ... ;)
Thank you!
Thank you for your post.Really looking forward to read more. Excellent.
I'm glad that you liked the video! You can find more of my content on Facebook facebook.com/JohnVonAchen
what ever you show you are from outside,actually you aint that from within...its good that you are good from within,your inner self recognized it
My mom is a fan of Joseph Campbell who talks about chakras and how the first represents survival, the second procreation, the third power and the fourth the heart, which is the center between our animal and our spiritual nature; our humanity; where we connect to all humanity and our place in it and where our passions and inspirations reside. We can live to survive, for our animal drives, for power, or we can use those things to serve the heart.
_I don't know anymore no matter how much motivational videos I watch it won't help...Guess when you'r depressed nothing seems to help...I'll just have to find the power to stay _positive_ on my own..._
We often walk in life thinking about the bigger things, success, money, power, privilege, etc,, and we seldom remember the more simpler yet very important things that are within us, such as being positive, self-motivated to succeed, appreciate what we already have, care for those who are less fortunate than ourselves, and forgive those who have hurt us as these are all vital components of a solid foundation that may ultimately guide us to be whatever we want to be and go wherever we want to go.
people some time just click the link just to engage them selves to something, with out having the clear purpose and focus to see it though. Thus might be it is boring for someone as it is not a movie but with a clear vision and purpose to click this link, I got something in it.. I am glad u posted it. I got the point irrespective of the lack of epic voice as some one stated. Thanks for the video
Thank you! I totally agree with you!
thank you for this ,I watch this at least once a day,only to relize the inspiration I seek is in me,also I have a daughter with a brain tumor-diag at age 2-now shes 12 ,that's the true inspiration needed-so if someone is having a bad day think of this.
That’s a great attitude! Good luck to you and keep us informed about your success!
Your positive post really made my day! It is the pleasure of my team and me to make a productive difference in the lives of people.
I totally agree that there is no success without hard work!
I couldn’t be more appreciative of your comments. It’s nice to know our materials have had a positive impact on your life, and touched you on a personal level.
