Alan Watts - What if Money Was No Object? (3:05)
Why you should work to make sure that money comes after passions, not vice versa. About looking for what you would do if money were no object first, and worrying about that factor later.

Neil Degrasse Tyson - The Most Astounding Fact (3:34)
Neil talking about why when he looks at the immense size of the universe and his own relative size, it makes him feel big. Important even. Not small or insignificant. By feeling connected to the universe and others around you.

Joe Rogan - What is Reality? (10:48)
EXPLICIT LANGUAGE - Thoughts on the fuzzy line between consciousness and unconsciousness and the beauty of both.

Charlie Chaplin - The Great Dictator (3:38)
A speech on humanity and the value of loving one another, ignoring "borders" and instead recognized that we are all connected and capable of moving beyond politics, judgement and cynicism.

John Papola - The Beauty of Emergent Order (16:41)
The idea that your customers and even peers are not a number to be manipulated by calculations, but rather you are a part of the anarchy, a part of the dance. Instead of attempting to control it and ruining it, it is better to simply follow your instincts.

Various Speakers - My Life (6:12)
Working for your goals, creating perfect timing and making sacrifice to do what you love.

Eric Thomas - Motivational Speech (4:39)
Being successful is about making your passions more important than breathing. A great motivational clip about hard work and achieving your goals.

ZeFrank - Chase That Happy (3:38)
How to feel happy when life has gotten you down. How to chase your "happy".

Stefan Molyneux - The Biggest Obstacle (4:57)
EXPLICIT LANGUAGE - A message that applies to everyone about being the change you want to see in the world and representing yourself in a way that your community can see you in a positive light. About controlling only what you can control rather than attempting to control the "big picture". Doing the small things in your life that makes the difference.
