if that is the case, then you have to ask yourself what you actually want from life. and even if you don't find something that you can't make excuses for, just ask yourself if it's really a good thing to just do nothing in the meantime until you find that purpose. why not just try stuff out, even if it might be annoying, disappointing or exhausting. in the end, every experience is worth it. failing is just another way to say 'at least i tried'
"Excuses are the obstructions that become the reason for you abandoning your dreams." I ABSOLUTELY needed to hear that. I'm glad I haven't let my obstructions become excuses. And I have no intentions of letting that happen. So glad I subscribed to this channel, it brings me happiness and pure insight on a daily basis. Thank you, Casey.
Such a big inspiration man, this is for what I been subbed to this channel -and maybe the big reason to been making changes in my life-. Thanks for bring this stories to us Casey. Regards from Chile 🇨🇱
Yes, I can relate to this! Sometimes, I don't know what direction to go and some Casey videos like these always help me to find a way, work harder and create more.
Rewatching these older videos is bringing me back to my old self when dreams meant something to me you'll always be a hero in my mind thank you for making these inspirational videos
I met Quinton when I was about nine. He was living with my sister Toni while she was at uni in Adelaide. He was just as jolly and positive then, in the early 2000s. He is an inspiration and when you meet him you forget about his disability easily. He turns it into ability. I'm privileged to have met him before any of his success. Because it shows me that attitude is everything. And you don't necessarily develop a good one during or after success, but rather cultivate it before hand.
Md Ayaan idk.. Time flies so fast.. When someone say 20 years or 10 years ago.. You suddenly that it's in 80s and then you realise that, no, you're in 2018 already..
Quentin passed away recently. He was a friend of mine, an amazingly gutsy disability advocate as well as an actor and producer. I’m so glad this video helps his legacy to live on. Rest In Peace Q 🌈⭐️
One of the biggest problems in today's society is that people don't know what their passion is. That's a common problem I find with people who are stuck. Once you've found your thing though, the rest is easy. You just gotta work extremely hard. Put in the hours, improve your craft, always focus on getting better at what you do. Also, never blame anyone but yourself for your failures. You've only ever got yourself to blame. Never rely on anyone else either. It's all on you. Just go and WORK. But before any of that, you've got to find your passion first. Which for some people, can be very tricky. But EVERYONE has something.
JordanRants although I agree with most of this to work productively you do need to help from others and if you never accept it and rely on them then you will never be as successful as you can be. One person can only go so far alone (this is why Casey has brought in Dan). I also think a healthy balanced work life is the most productive. I myself am a filmmaker running my own business at 19 years old and I have found that taking a break from constant work clears my mind to think of new ideas. Just a few thought but I do like your sentiment! :)
Jordan!! Wasn't expecting to see you here haha. I agree tho finding your passion, and for me that also meant finding my purpose, was the hardest step to working towards my dream. The rest is easy but lots of hard work, but it's easy if you love it!
Casey, of all your videos that I’ve watched and loved. This one is the one that hit me in the brain and heart the most. “When you compromise and you fail, it really hurts. It hurts more than failing at what you love” I compromised my love for music once, never again. Thank you 🙏
I love how Quentin pivoted the conversation from his accolades and achievements to his friends and family. We're all so growth and numbers oriented that we forget how fundamentally important relationships are in our lives.
Hey Casey ! I'm your neighbor, and just wanted to say this is so amazing and love your work!!! I'm from the Kurdish region of Iraq and been through lots of war but yet had the privilege to shake hands with you!! Cheers 🙏🏻
Seeing amazing people like Quinten really gives you a new perspective on all your obstructions. Often times, the things we stress over aren't actually that significant. So, go get'em!
He did overcome it. He’s an american citizen now and has been living here for more than 30 years, and adopted EVERYTHING in America’s name. Certainly doesn’t plan on living in Canada now does he?
Came back to see this video again just as people will for a long time. Even though he's not here, his impact on the world will continue on. Rest in peace Quentin
I watched this when you originally posted it but it just popped up again. I just landed a dream job that I’m excited about but also very nervous and intimidated about. I really feel like this video was reintroduced to me for a reason. Thanks.
Life is all about perspective and Quentin owned the #*$@ out of the obstructions in his way. Such a cool dude who will live on through everyone he inspired. RIP
Actually, grabbing the brass ring doesn't mean getting lucky in life. The brass ring was actually a part of a carousel, and if you would reach out and grab the brass ring, you would get a free ride. So what he actually said was that he pushed himself to reach out, and accomplish what others, and possibly himself, didn't think that he could do. Also, great video Casey.
I'll NEVER compromise on my dreams, no matter how few subscribers or views I have. My biggest obstruction is often my own insecurities! 😅 Thank you for inspiration, Casey!
Why hasn’t anyone commented on the obscene amount of little pancakes made at the beginning of the vlog?!!!! How does anyone have time to make so many little pancakes?! Great vlog though 🇨🇦
Second Attempt Hi Casey, I need to translate this video into Arabic. please give the access to "contribute" in Translation. I have a fine ability to translate into Formal Arabic. this video is very important to me and may be some others that need it.
I love how you create visuals to demonstrate your point Casey. Those obstructions really do look like things that could either be moved out of the way, or turned into sad red excuses for settling for less than you really want. Well done.
In United States they refer to each other as "Americans", we all know that America is a continent, but that's how it is in EEUU, for example, You call German, someone from Germany, Someone from England "British", From Mexico "Mexican", Brazil "Brazilian",Italy "Italian", and the list goes and goes, the point is that they don't have another word to use excepting "American" (they do but.. that's a story that you can google)
Damn Casey, freaking loved this video! Thanks for sharing Quentin's story and for reminding us that most of the time, we are the ones that stop ourselves from achieving what we want! Thank you!
I am one of those dumb ass people that tends to use obstructions as excuses. I even had a very good example that was shown to me how I shouldn't do that. I have been a fan of the TV reality show called Survivor since the very first episode that was ever aired. My brother, Billy for years kept telling me to audition but I kept making excuses. "I can't leave my job, I'm too fat, I can't swim..." (I thought that last one was the best excuses ever). LOL! One day I happened to find out that they were holding auditions at the Jacob Javits Center here in NYC. I told my brother about it in passing. He said, "Are you going? Are you going to audition?" I got very annoyed and snapped at him saying, "NO! You go!" He got annoyed back and said, "Fine, I will!" So Billy did. He went and audition. After many months and many call backs he was asked to go to the final 50 interviews in LA. When he came back he said his arm hurts because they gave him a immunization shot. My mouth dropped open because I knew exactly what that meant. He made it! He got on the show! A few weeks later my brother, Billy went to the Cook Islands as one of 20 contestants on Survivor fighting for a chance to win one million dollars. He didn't win. In fact, he was the second person voted off the show that season but just being in the show opened doors for him that he could have never imagined. He has acted in a few horror movies, he has done a Doritos commercial, he does countless of charity works, he has been on numerous TV shows (including The David Letterman Show), starred in a documentary movie about reality TV and he still to this day does interviews and podcasts from around the world. And that is just naming a few of the opportunities that came to him as a result of being on Survivor. Every now and then Survivor asks if he can play again but some how the producers keep changing the format and theme of the season making picking Billy no longer a perfect fit for that particular game. But Billy never gives up hope. He loves riding the wave and has every intention to keep riding it for as long as he can, which so far has been 12 years now. So you may ask, what is the moral of this overly long story? The moral of the story is... The only failures in life is in not trying.
I wish there was a love option on CZcams. Thank you Casey, you're truly a blessing to this platform along with everyone in it. Viewers and Creators. Thanks for the reminder and inspiration, Quentin ❤️🤙
I've been thinking about this quite a bit over the last few years as an educator. I like the word obstruction vs. failure. Failure is at the crux of success, not a thing that will inevitably happen but KEY, crucial, important to success. But we've developed an aversion to the word. Inventors have great word for failure: prototype. Obstruction...I like it.
I love all of your videos, but this one I know will become engrained in my psyche. Thank you for making this. I love and embrace the message. And carry it forward.
Casey this is a great message and so true. I watched this back when you first put it out and liked it...but I just watched it again and had to just leave a comment letting you know how much I appreciate you, your content, and your positivity. I love how you put this together and giving inspiration by exposing us, your audience, to not only your positive attitude but to other people like this that leave a big impression on the world. Thank you.
Jim Carrey said in an interview that he became a comedian because he sometimes was miserable in his childhood, especially when he and his family became homeless. To be happy and to not feel so miserable he wanted to be funny, to make him and his family happy. So the difficult times were not obstacles but an inspiration to become a comedian.
i came to catch up on classic Casey for some inspiration and i see my old high school buddy Quentin, may he Rest In Power!! that was unexpectedly awesome to see.
"If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse." - Jim Rohn
Fucckkkk.
is there love in thise letters ? ! fight or judge , feel or ego.
Awarness what happens
if that is the case, then you have to ask yourself what you actually want from life. and even if you don't find something that you can't make excuses for, just ask yourself if it's really a good thing to just do nothing in the meantime until you find that purpose. why not just try stuff out, even if it might be annoying, disappointing or exhausting. in the end, every experience is worth it. failing is just another way to say 'at least i tried'

I met Quinton when I was about nine. He was living with my sister Toni while she was at uni in Adelaide. He was just as jolly and positive then, in the early 2000s. He is an inspiration and when you meet him you forget about his disability easily. He turns it into ability. I'm privileged to have met him before any of his success. Because it shows me that attitude is everything. And you don't necessarily develop a good one during or after success, but rather cultivate it before hand.
Wow.. When you said 20 years ago..I was like.. *Oh.. In 1980s*
But.. But.. It's 1998..

"someone who is well has a thousand wishes, a sick person has only one"
One of the biggest problems in today's society is that people don't know what their passion is. That's a common problem I find with people who are stuck. Once you've found your thing though, the rest is easy. You just gotta work extremely hard. Put in the hours, improve your craft, always focus on getting better at what you do. Also, never blame anyone but yourself for your failures. You've only ever got yourself to blame. Never rely on anyone else either. It's all on you. Just go and WORK. But before any of that, you've got to find your passion first. Which for some people, can be very tricky. But EVERYONE has something.
JordanRants although I agree with most of this to work productively you do need to help from others and if you never accept it and rely on them then you will never be as successful as you can be.

My God thats my problem. And im scared since i have yet to find that passion. Im nit sure if im just lazy or i just cant seem to find it 😞

Yeah, and be a slave to the norm.... My passion is telling people what real life is... lol

Quentin passed away suddenly on 7 October 2018. RIP.

Hey Casey ! I'm your neighbor, and just wanted to say this is so amazing and love your work!!! I'm from the Kurdish region of Iraq and been through lots of war but yet had the privilege to shake hands with you!! Cheers 🙏🏻
After watching this video, I found Quentin has passed away for almost 1 year. Complicated feelings and hope him being well in another world.
Seeing amazing people like Quinten really gives you a new perspective on all your obstructions. Often times, the things we stress over aren't actually that significant. So, go get'em!
'jim carey, one of the greatest american comedians' ... i guess he overcame being canadian
He did overcome it. He’s an american citizen now and has been living here for more than 30 years, and adopted EVERYTHING in America’s name. Certainly doesn’t plan on living in Canada now does he?
Shit if he had been living in canada all this time nobody would even know him
dannooooooo you do know Canada is in America right?
He went to my high school :) and dropped out
yeaaa.... because canada is definitely not in north america..
Jim Carrey is a great Canadian comedian!
I was just about to say that I'm like whole up isn't he canadian?
Canada is part of North America. I thought the same thing for a second but then I remembered :) lol
I spotted that too. Easy mistake.
Then it'd be "great North American comedian", which nobody says......
Tell him to stay in Canada and not to come back to America
Came back to see this video again just as people will for a long time. Even though he's not here, his impact on the world will continue on. Rest in peace Quentin
God bless him
This video proves how there's always someone having it worst than us and how little our problems are. Thank you Casey this video helped me out a lot.

I don't believe that if you haven't overcome your obstructions, They become excuses. :/ That's ok for a millionaire to say.

its everywhere!! 😂 oh hey there willow!
I'm British and even I felt that haha!
Willow Faith but Canada is in North America so isnt saying that canadians are not americans a bit the same as saying germans are not europeans?
In United States they refer to each other as "Americans", we all know that America is a continent, but that's how it is in EEUU, for example, You call German, someone from Germany, Someone from England "British", From Mexico "Mexican", Brazil "Brazilian",Italy "Italian", and the list goes and goes, the point is that they don't have another word to use excepting "American" (they do but.. that's a story that you can google)

I've been thinking about this quite a bit over the last few years as an educator. I like the word obstruction vs. failure. Failure is at the crux of success, not a thing that will inevitably happen but KEY, crucial, important to success. But we've developed an aversion to the word. Inventors have great word for failure: prototype. Obstruction...I like it.
What stands between you and your dreams? “Reality” says my oldest daughter. She’s not wrong. Says someone who’s chasing his dreams :-)
Viva Frei
Hmmm
It's amazing how much effort Casey puts into small things. Talking about his craft work.
THANK you for always sharing these amazing CONTENT! It really helps as a CZcams creator!
I love all of your videos, but this one I know will become engrained in my psyche. Thank you for making this. I love and embrace the message. And carry it forward.
Wow, I remember his role on the movie!!! He was amazing in his role! :) Great to know he's ok!
That first sentence. When I saw Jim and Andy, this sentence hit me so hard.
Thnak you Mr. Neistat for a great video with motivation and reality in mind. Yes excuses drown us in failure.
Casey this is a great message and so true. I watched this back when you first put it out and liked it...but I just watched it again and had to just leave a comment letting you know how much I appreciate you, your content, and your positivity. I love how you put this together and giving inspiration by exposing us, your audience, to not only your positive attitude but to other people like this that leave a big impression on the world. Thank you.
"I decided that, if I'm going to live, fuck it lets live! And if I'm gonna die, then fuck it bring it on!"
What a sweet and inspiring episode again from dearest, Casey
The less you have, the less you have to lose - the easier it is to dare to go for your ultimate dream
Always truth, Casey, I am always preaching this to people, too!! The people who need to hear this most are the hardest ones to get through to!
"The things that I love is that I'm friends with you" I'm not crying you are ;_;
Jim is Canadian lol
He's American, he's an american citizen
@@Calikid331 he can’t be president. He’s not American. He is Canadian with dual citizenship.
Your scars will either end you or mend you.
Quentin is awesome!
I must admit this one's a tearjerker!😢😢😢 Thanks another inspiring video!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Jim Carrey said in an interview that he became a comedian because he sometimes was miserable in his childhood, especially when he and his family became homeless. To be happy and to not feel so miserable he wanted to be funny, to make him and his family happy. So the difficult times were not obstacles but an inspiration to become a comedian.
Wow. Thank you Casey and Quentin for making this video💙
