Maybe one of those videos is "So if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed."(youtube). It's not even a video, but the speech itself. This speech is quite inspirational. And it doesn't even matter who said it. And even usually I don't really like the military.

Simon Sinek's famous 'Why' speech.
It reminds me why it's important to cut through bullshit and focus on what actually matters, by keeping in touch with my 'why', my "why do I get out of bed in the morning, and why should anyone care", and how to communicate that to others.

why do I get out of bed in the morning, and why should anyone care
What if I dont know the answer to that question myself?
I'm not going to lie, it takes a lot of soul searching.
Start with what you're passionate about. And I mean really passionate about. What could you talk to someone about for hours, or the one thing in your world that you want to make better, and it frustrates you that it isn't.
Each journey is highly individual, though passion is a good place to start.
I have, without a word of a lie, watched Simon's 'Why' talk at least two dozen times. I still get threads of gold from it each time I watch it, because each time I do watch it I've had a new experience, good or bad, that reinforces why I do what I do, and why they'll likely have to drag me out in a body bag for me to truly leave what I do.
I'm just that passionate about it. However, that passion took years to develop. Indeed I didn't even know I'd ultimately land in the career I'm in today 5 years ago, which was very different to my career path then.
Bodycam videos.
I mean, if you think your life is shit? Go watch a handful of police bodycam videos. Look at how many ways people turn their lives upside down. Turning traffic violations into felonies. Multiple felons on the run. Getting shot. And an assortment of other active crimes right before your eyes.
You sometimes just wonder how bad of a life they've made themselves live in, compared to yours.
Pretty much any video of Mick Lynch.
Thought this was the Actual Canibal Shia LaBeouf vid. He needs to be stopped!

Not for the music video so much, but the song "5 out of 6" by Dessa. Such a great hype song. Cannot walk normal when this is in the earbuds, have to strut.
