In 2020, my abusive father and his flatmate made me homeless. I’m Type 1 Diabetic so I ended up in hospital and became very unwell. I suffer with depression and there are some days where I can’t even get out of bed.
But in 2020, I also graduated from university. I’ve been applying for jobs ever since and I’ve been getting rejected constantly. It is so demoralising.
No matter how bad my life is at the moment, I continue to, as Denzel has said “Fall forward”. I am still applying for jobs. I am still trying to improve my health. I am still trying to make myself a better person.
Thank you for this speech Denzel. I listen to it whenever I feel like giving up, and it helps me push forward.

Wish I'd had heard this 15 years ago.
With 15 years hindsight I can tell you people watching this he is right.

Very long story short and simplified.

I was a highschool dropout without a driver's license and had just moved out from home and wasn't welcome back.
For years I struggled with every shity job I could find to not go into debt and hopefully have enough for rent and bills and 1(!) meal a day.
I applied for jobs with better pay but none would hire because I didn't have a driver's license or finished school and usually both.
When I turned 24 I had saved a little money and came into a small inheritance enough so I could afford driving school (at the time it cost about $3000 USD in my country) I passed with flying colors the same year.
After that I applied to all these places I tried before armed with my license and years of experience from the lowest possible jobs and suddenly every door opened for me.
Years later I'm now a house owner with a small plot of land to boot.

Whatever you do Never stop trying.

The amount of time we spend believing we can't is more than enough time to learn how you can.

“The gift of long suffering”

Wow. I had to pause the video, it felt like I was punched in the chest. I find myself focusing often on my past and present suffering, and look at it as a burden that will never leave my mind. Something I need absolutely none of. Yet im an artist, and that simple quote made me realize my rough past is not a curse, its a gift. Some might not understand, and I dont mean to sound corny, but man did that quote overwhelm me.

Investment in stocks is a great way to invest your money. The team is constantly checking the market for changes and make sure that you are always informed about the best time to invest. As a result, I have made more money than ever before, and I don't have to manage my portfolio on my own! Invest in stocks, it's worth it!

"If you don't fail, you're not even trying" Thank you so much Mr. Denzel Washington. I was really moved by this line. I made lots of failures in life but they never caused me to fall back but it motivates me to fall forward no matter how hard it takes. I experienced crying during my college years I was in my pre-college at that time when it happens in one of our English classes. I failed the quiz while all of my classmates got a higher score. I cannot help but go to the prayer room and I cried there. That experience motivated me to keep going... thank you once again Mr. Denzel for that powerful words, which brings me back to my past, and indeed it motivates me to always fall forward no matter how hard it takes...

14 years ago, I was told I had 2 weeks to live. No one believed I could pull through, not even myself. The day I was supposed to die, god reached out to me, he called to me and said these words. “My son, I have kept you on this earth because you still have stuff to fulfill and things to. Your children and your wife need you.” And I kept those words to my heart.

I’m so glad he never gave up on himself one of the greatest actors of all times

Being at my lowest and kicked out on the streets living in my car no job no friends or family and coming across these videos at my weakest moment in life of knowing I have no one but myself I can’t explain enough on how much these speeches have helped me keep a leveled head and a clean train of thought to not give up that at this moment is a moment to progress me further on the goals I set in line for myself to build my car for donate a life and have people sign the vinyl wrap to me going after the job I feel ill be happy to wake up to every morning I need to go in if it wasn’t for these videos I would most likely be dead but they came to me at my time of need and it’s for a reason there’s always a reason when things come around and that’s the power above telling you not to give in to your thoughts your actions or your feelings the power above is a power that can’t be explained and it doesn’t need to be explained but I fell forward not backwards when something happens it happens because your distend for something more and I thank these videos because now even tho being in my car I got my dream job I’ve always wanted I’m not stressed anymore I’m not depressed I have a clear thought and with that thought I’m going to make it shine bright
