SUMMARY:
——————–
Never let someone tell you that you or your dreams are impossible, improbable, or not 'good enough' for their liking, especially when they have no experience or knowledge of your true heart and powers.
1. Have vision for your life and art. And stick to it through your doubts and fears, through all the petty judgements and social oppressions.
2. Believe in your ability to figure things out. With enough time, effort, and discipline you will learn and grow and achieve.
3. Have fun chasing your dreams – no matter what. Bring joy to each experience and realize the journey is something to be cherished and grateful for.
4. Be patient but always persistent. Go easy on yourself but hard each day toward your dreams.
5. Respect and love others also playing this same game of life. Everyone is struggling to express themselves and achieve their dreams – so give them the same respect, patience, appreciation and love you desire for yourself.

Really honored to be among the ppl who follow you, I almost cried at the end, it was just intense 🙂
Me too Brother I cried at the end 🙂
Thank you Brendon for your words of inspiration and motivation!
You are such an inspiration! Everyday when I wake up the first thing I do is watching one of your videos! They give me so much energy and motivation! Since I found about you and your YouTube channel I feel that I am living a much much more positive life with an enormously better attitude! Thank you Bren.
if you haven’t read the Motivation Manifesto yet, do so! It’s really transformative
You are an inspiration, Brendon!! Thank you for leading with such love, purity, and integrity.
Your passion for what you believe in is inspiring. Each of us have a potential that is vast and unlimited. But, we must believe in our passion, overcome all obstacles, including our fears and follow our dreams. You have done that one more time to show us that we can too. Thank you for the example of how to live life.
I love how he’s always on the positive side of things.
Absolutely brilliant video from +Brendon Burchard. Keep on going regardless of what life throws at you! 🙂 Powerful message.
BREAKFAST!!! Thank u for sharing your story.
We love you, Brendon. Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks for pushing through when things were tough. Thanks for not giving up on your dream and supporting us in ours.
Blessings, Deborah H. Bateman
How do you keep yourself from a break up after 6+yrs?
Love this. I’m really impressed with you, Brendon, and I thank you for sharing so much wisdom and inspiration. 🙂
That publisher and the editors who reviewed it clearly had NO comprehension of deeper calls to the soul of humanity. Seriously, this book is profound. Your tone and direct voice of the Divine We resounds brilliantly, in triumphant resonating clarity. Anyone who hasn’t ordered this book yet probably should. It’s truly profound and resonates on a Deeper Soul Level.

Wow Brendon, I like to think that I’ve seen most if not all of your videos and I can say that I really hear the passion in this video like I did in some of your earlier videos. So Great Job on sticking to your vision Brendon because consequently, all would have been compromised had the foundation of the book been altered. I have my #MotivationManifestoBook and I too am loving the intense inside messages as well as the red ribbon marker and cool unique outside feel it has to it. Getting your new publisher just reminds me that if you stick to your vision you’ll sometimes you have to pass up on Good to get to Great and it’s the persistence that will get you there. So Great Job Brendon! The next thing on my bucket list is to take your Experts Academy Training and come to a Live Training ASAP so I can get this show on the road, Hahaha… Thanks so much for another passionate video Brendon and may all of your hopes and dreams continue to come true. Keep the Great Work coming B!
I totally agree with you Brendon. I see your book as a daily reminder of the tenants of my faith in myself (in addition to Faith with a capital “F”). I see the concept of a “manifesto” is the JUST what our society needs now!
I have watched all of your videos, some of them multiple times you are a great motivator. BUT this is the first time with over 1000+ videos I’ve watched on YouTube that I actually wanted to cry. We can see the PASSION, PAIN, JOY, FRUSTRATION, AND HAPPINESS in you, all within this one video. THANK YOU for taking time out of your two years to share this book. I have almost 5000 facebook friends and I will make it my business to share this book everyday on my page for the rest of the month. You deserve all you worked for and so much more. “Do yo thang Boo!” Thank you again.
You are big Brendon! You always cheer me up to keep fighting. THANK U SO SO MUCH.
