Day One - Inspirational Video

This is project is my 10 years process and what I’ve learnt over the years. Life is not a straight path, you will have ups and down - it’s good to accept it and even embrace life as it unfolds.

You won’t me motivated all the time, and you won’t be miserable all the way. Some times is about endure other time about perspective.

It's 10 year anniversary since my first motivational video was published. It's absolutely amazing to read your stories, journeys over those years. How many dreams fulfiiled, how many adversity overcome. YOU have created absolute a legacy.

This was also a journey for me.. I’ve quit university to pursue career in video editing. In just few years later I’ve been blessed to work with people all around as a video editor and cinematographer part time. After 5 years of intense work, I was mentally exhausted and I’ve lost the passion for it.

I devote myself into fitness and become personal trainer. Started training my wife. We struggle for 4 years, finance, mentally emotionally.. at the edge of quitting after 5 long years she won her first World Championship title, defended next year, qualified to Tokyo 2020 Olympics, and broke world records several times..

After those incredible successes I went mental breakdown in 2022. Took me almost one year to fully recover. Happy to be finally back. Missed you.


Not everyone know this but all those 10 years this channel was not monetized. And will be not monetized. If you want to support my work, get some unreleased, exclusive materials etc. feel free to join. I would really appreciate your support.

New video is coming at the end of March.

Thank you for your support and for creating such a positive community.

When the world needed him the most he returned

[castilloadrian]

You don’t know how important your videos were to me growing up. I was raised by a single parent. I had no father and we struggled financially growing up. I worked hard to get here. I first encountered your videos in 2016 when I was 16 and continue to listen to them till this day. I’ve done so much. I’ve served my country, traveled the world, closed my first home, have my own truck, my own land all at the age of 23. I’m now working to be a federal agent. All of it started because of your videos. I’ve failed so much but I didn’t let that stop me. I always think about that first time I saw your videos. It built something in me. A fire 🔥 that has kept me going. The confidence and the faith to keep going despite going through adversity. Thank you 🙏🏻

Imagine how many lives this man has changed through his videos it’s amazing to see you back thank you sir

[TheXXCOMBATXx]

Thanks for the last 10 years, Mat. I'll always be here.

[BoMuchokiMotivation]

I cried like a baby watching this. I've been in a season of enduring for about 8 years now. Saw this at the right time. What I needed to hear. God bless Matuesz for this one. Truly, a masterpiece

Everything is an opportunity. Some people describe it as criticism, failure, success, happiness, and sadness. If you don't see the whole phase, can you describe it as anything? Just a cloudy beginning, filled with mist, no sun, so stars, no moon, nothing.

I’m currently hiking over 1000 miles across the UK with my dog for charity, and you return couldn’t have come at a better time thank you so much!!

[theardpierre]

I used to listen to these videos in the dark all summer dreaming of playing in the NBA.
I’m 24 now, 😅. My basketball career never really took off. It kinda fell as quick as came. These past 10 years… I haven’t been able to finish much of anything aside from high school. I’m not in the NBA, a college grad… I’m decent at being a barber. But what I want most is to be good at life. Here’s to Day 1. Thank you Mat. I’m growing up with you.

Mateusz- I remember being a broken 19 year old college student in 2015. Just got my heart shattered into pieces, my first business was failing, and slept on an air mattress that deflated every morning in my own apartment living room for 6 months because I lacked the courage to pull myself together.

I thought life had landed a knockout punch, but something in me told me I wasn’t alone in feeling the way I do, and that’s when I came across your videos.

I listened to your videos everyday and those speeches and lines you gathered, they not only kept me going, they lit a fire within me.

I listened to them when I loaded up on my undergrad business classes. I listened to them when I went through an 80 hour/week coding bootcamp. I listened to them when I failed at my second business. I listened to them when I went through 140 rounds of failed software engineering interviews. I listened to them through more of life’s heartbreaks.

I still listen to your videos on repeat almost everyday now at 27. I’ve since graduated college in 3 years, graduated the coding bootcamp, worked as a software engineer at a Fortune 500 company. I started my third business and went through many trials to now have raised multiple rounds of venture funding, growth, and 20 employees aiming to do big things in the AI industry.

I can’t wait to see what you come up with next. The comments here on this video is proof you have touched millions of people’s lives. When I first found out you coached your wife into the Olympics, I said “of course he did”. Of course you did. You, me and all the people you have inspired, we can do whatever we put our hearts and minds into. All of you reading this is proof of that.

Thank you, Mateusz. I’m rooting for ya!!

[KubaBJ]

Mateusz, and yet again you gave me chills and got me emotional. What an amazing video that I can relate so much on so many levels. This just hits right in the heart. Man, the world missed you and I am so happy you’re back. As always perfect shots, editing, speeches and Final Ascent music on top of all that. Another work of art from you. Your videos are giving people hope and the drive not to give up. You are the GOAT of motivational videos. Actually, your story reminds me of MJ's return after the first retirement 😉 The best is yet to come and there’s lots of light ahead of you (and us) and I wish you that from the bottom of my heart. THANK YOU for everything! Can't wait for more :)

I failed PT school 5 years ago but the school gave me another chance. I listened to your video everyday during my second chance, passed school, passed the boards and now making me myself indispensable for the company that I work for. Currently working through infertility but for some reason your videos are pushing me and making me believe that I will be a mother one day. Thank you for being there of US.

[Burak-crum]

You are an artist. I have been watching your videos for about 10 years. I watched them again, again and, again. I feel every second of this video. I have certainly been in this pain. It is an art to express them like this video.

[houssemmhamdi]

Welcome back, my friend! I'm absolutely thrilled to see your incredible work once again!

[Epicer]

Welcome back... I really believe your videos have been a huge part of my life.

Looking back almost 10 years ago, I would listen to your videos on loop for literally years as I studied in school. All I wanted was to prove others wrong : to go to a good school and earn a good living to support myself and those I loved. Being younger, in retrospect some of my goals feel driven by self-centered reasons, but I used the feelings I had at the time to push myself forward. I went to a what I consider a great school in my country, became an engineer, moved across the great world for great jobs, and achieved what my younger self aimed for.

Now 10 years wiser but I'm sure still with much to learn, I feel I have more perspective on WHY doing all of this matters. To challenge myself, help those around me, support those I love, simply enjoy human life. Now I am about to launch on a new endeavour to launch a business that I hope will achieve these goals. And although I don't believe in such things, it feels like fate that you returned at this time. I am sure your videos will push me now as they did then, and that we will both reach new heights (whether we perceive them to be or not) from here.

There are heroes and then there are legends, heroes get remembered but legends never die. Mateusz thank you!!!

[moremore]

God only knows what I have been through today.
Sometimes it's just a couple of words that change your mood and cheer you up, and then a notification pops up with your new video; just in time, thank you.

I have never commented on a video on youtube before. Just didn't think it was worth my time. I started listening to your videos in college. I remember walking to the library from my dorm most nights to study for my mcat with this powerful quote to get me through a long night: "greatness, is not this wonderful, esoteric. illusive, god-like feature that only the special among us will ever taste. It's something that truly exists, in all of us". Got denied from medical school first attempt, retook my mcat and was accepted into medical school. Listened to these videos throughout the years when I had little motivation to get work done. Long nights of surgery with little sleep and endless materials to review, your videos got me through it. I am now finishing my training as a trauma surgeon and I got here because of you. Thank you.

[emred]

I often struggle with my given tasks and myself, usually I would be trying to motivate myself to get things done, but sometimes it ain’t working and then I return to your channel. I want to thank you for all the great motivational videos which helped me a lot throughout my exams and my driver’s license (which I failed at first). I remember when I was in the driving school and the teacher got mad at me and told me to go outside and take a walk, it was you who I immediately looked up and listened to one of your videos while it was raining on me. It made me go through myself and helped to take the last bit out of me to finally pass the exam, that I was failing over and again. Seeing you back after your hiatus makes me happy. Thank you… ❤

[michaelreilly]

Your videos have guided me through my darkest days, they've been such an inspiration for me personally. I separated from my ex wife and with no money, job, prospects, friends and with just a single bag of belongings I had to start again. I then got an education, met the love of my life, made a home and family together, and then we fought together as we both had to restart again. There is still dark days especially after losing my mum to cancer but we're so much stronger than ever before.

If anyone is reading this and going through dark days, you will make it trust me, I never ever thought I did but somehow it happened and I'll always be grateful.

Thank you Mateusz for another incredible video 👍👏
