Today 2022 I am on a level I never thought I could reach only to learn that we can make are dream come true. Work hard, believe and commit. Thank you McRaven your words gave me courage and still 5 years later it still keeps me on check.
Congratulations sir 👏👏👏
Congratulations to you
Chapeau, so muss das sein !!!
My 10 year old daughter's soccer team is in the Championship game for her league tomorrow night. We talked about being aggressive / setting the tone, and it reminded me of this speech -- specifically the Shark bit. Don't be afraid to punch them in the nose.
GOD Bless you
After hearing this speech, I never go a day without making my bed. Truly inspiring.
Same here , u never thought such a small action changes your life
Studies suggest that making your bed first thing in the morning is actually detrimental to your health…. GREAT speech tho..
Making your bed actually makes you more productive. I tried it today.
Very true. Sometimes i think to myself: "Not today. I can't be bothered." then i think of this speech and i make my bed every.single.day. This man is a legend.
@@SillyBillyisonvr
Yep.
You should actually roll back the covers neatly and let it air.
And why is he dressed like a wedding cake ?
He looks like some mixed up fascist jesus.
Why are people laughing about "make your bed"??? THIS is a strong thing, and matters.. In a way it made big changes in my life, like the rest of his speach. I have the biggest respect for this strong wise man!!!💪💪💪❣
The Admiral is correct. Wish I had this speech growing up. I went to college, paid my way. Joined the military. People told me I would fail. I never gave up. Didn't quit. After the military, I went into Law Enforcement. Was a Officer and a Detective for 18+ years. Found out in April of this year, my father had bladder cancer ( he never smoked or drank, and is 100% cancer free). I moved closer to home. First time I lived up here for over 24 years. My parents took care of us, now it's our turn to help them out. My parents have been married for 57 years. I hit rock bottom before. I have failed many times. Picked myself up. Strive to be the best I can. Respect and honor. It's lacking these days.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service. Tracey Vera
My dad showed me this. He knows I'm going through a hard time with school and bullies. I'm very self conscious and always worrying about people's opinions. This inspired me so much.
Keep your head up and never worry about people’s opinions
So do I.... my first chapter of my life is similar to your... especially when i was at middle schools and the first year of secondary schools every day had been joking for be very shy and many people said me you are a Nerd with glasses... now i'm two degre in Political Science and International Relations...this is for me a great revenge against all people who judge negative me !!!😊
As hard as it is to believe, there is a truth in the cliché that bullying comes from some insecurity of the person who bullies. That person may be as insecure as any other person, but they cope with it differently. Don't forget to accept yourself as a human being and that bullies are human too and just as imperfect as anyone else. Therefore, don't be ashamed of anything that you do or (dis)like, we're all imperfect humans after all.
Good luck and greetings from Europe!
Bullies are always jealous of the ones they bully. Bullies are extremely insecure. They grow up to become losers. Do not respond to them and ignore it; I know how hard that is to do. The best response is always no response. Bullies thrive on the confrontation; don't give it to them. You are not alone. Whatever they are saying to bully you, I promise you that it will not be important or matter as you grow up. I survived being bullied. You are strong and will continue to rise above it. Remember, bullies are very ignorant. If you want to engage in their cruel behavior, laugh at them; everything they tell you turn it around on them by asking them a question. For example, "If they call you stupid, ask them why are you (the bully) stupid? Or agree with them..yes, "I agree you(bully)are stupid." But that is a personal problem. I don't know why you feel the need to tell me you are stupid? I am not a therapist, and I can't help you. Hang in there, you will overcome it. And the bully will be in the same miserable place as they are now and in years to come. You will be a success!
An opinion doesn't define who you are, never forget that. People can think whatever they want about you, the only person that has to be happy is you. Don't let anyone talk you down. you could call it egoism, i call it being smart.
This speech accompanied my way out of depression.
May God bless, strengthen, protect and save all militaries in the world and all of you who read this comment! 🙌
I watched the video 8 years ago when I was 12. Since then, I have made my bed every single day without fail.
That's great.. And what's the accomplishment? Just curious.. Hope you won't mind it
I listen to this speech when I feel like shit. When I’m overwhelmed by darkness.
Absolutely love it. 🧡
I am reading his book!!
Ever tried listening to the word of God? Is very good
So do I ❤️
Stay strong! 🙏
Hope you’re still staying strong ❤️
I heard this speech for the first time when i went to treatment, I have never gone a day with out making my bed after! And yesterday i celebrated 18 months of sobriety.
Congrats to you!!! That is so amazing! Keep up the amazing work!! 👏 👏 👏
Hope you are doing well. If not, that’s ok. But I hope the best for you!
Bravo
He needs to run for President!
This is actually life-changing for some people, including me. I feel awesome when I cone home to a bed that is made, and a clean home, and that RELIEVES me. I was pretty stressed my whole life, but this gave me hope :)
He has a book that is very life changing. Worth the cost for sure.
Indeed.
@@johnadkins7510 Mind sharing the name of the book?
@@SheraLoverConMasFlow make your bed
Uuúuúuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuúuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I listen to this every few months, and share it with my piano students all the time. It is, perhaps, the most powerful speech I’ve ever heard. 👏👏
Lord I pray that all who hear this will change their lives and find faith and hope in you.
I heard this almost 4 years ago and still think about it everyday when I make my bed❤️
I listen to this every day as I make my bed. ❤️
I don't think about it at all because I think it's stupid that some people need speeches like this to do anything cause they don't know how to deal with their own problems.
@@toosurreal6170 that’s good for you, I’m glad you looked it up to listen to it, to leave a dumb ass comment like that☺️
@@toosurreal6170 Needing guidance is not a bad thing sometimes; we've all had to rely on many people since we were kids.
I was at my lowest after I was abused in a brutal way. I didn't want to live anymore. Everything was useless. This video crossed my path and I watched it. Since today I am very gratefull it happened. I started making my bed and life rewarded me with wonderfull things. Thank you so much for this video.
5 years ago, this man's speech came up in my news feed and it changed my life. I was in a bad spot with nothing to show for myself, and hearing him speak gave me hope. I have made my bed every day since and always encourage those around me to not ever give up. Now I have been a firefighter for over a year and just got hired as an EMT, while also currently going through school to become an Advanced EMT. I like to think that this man is the inspiration that got me to where I am today, and I hope to show my gratitude by always being an inspiration to all those around me to also become the best they can be.
Starting my 35th year in the fire service. Two states, two coasts.
I remember my Dad pumping me up when I first promoted as he shared his experience as a supervisor at his job. My Dad worked for a governmental aerospace company for 26 years before retirement when he gave his advise that got me through the first years as a supervisor.
I was also clean and sober about 9 years when I promoted now 30 years on I still use my program values and the departments vision. I have always been driven to pass on my skills and knowledge to my subordinates as they are going to replace me when my date comes. Keep up the good work sir you have many great years ahead of you live, learn, and work your way to being the best you can be. Teach others how to do your job as they come into contact with you. Empathy for others goes miles in getting them to take ownership in the job.
Start your day with this; "Today is the first day of the rest of your life, make it the best it can be for the rest of your life.
@@bonacker9762Very impressive willpower & dedication. Congratulations!❤
I played this for my 19 year old son today. Thank you for posting. Now he knows why he makes his bed everyday
My mom showed me this video when I was a freshman and struggling in classes.
I’m now enlisted in the navy and living in part of the country I never thought I would’ve been. Hooyah!
Same bro
I heard this speech my freshman year of highschool from an english teacher of mine. I had horrible friends at the time too. Never in my life did I or ever come to realize I made it where I am, 3-4 years later. I have made my bed everyday since hearing the video. Every single day. I’m currently in the best situation I could’ve ever been in, in my entire life. I love this speech. Forever and always.
There’s a deeper meaning in this speech than what you actually realise or actually hear
This indeed! Something embedded within this speech to get you going, and keep you going!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
My son is currently in Austria with the army. Graduated from high school.... physically and mentally. I am proud of him.🇦🇹🌏🌍🌎🙏
I remember my HS Counselor in 1967, my Junior year when he said that he started each day with one simple thought, "swinging out from under the covers and hitting the floor with his bare feet was the toughest thing he would have to face that day." That has been my driving influence for almost 55 years and it has also saved me from tremendouse pain, especially in loss: parents, two siblings, grandparents, etc. If you can just put your feet on the floor every morning, the rest of the day is all diwn hill.
Getting started is half the battle, start with a win and you're already on the right track. 👏
Nate thanks for your kind remarks.
Now it's time to strap that Alice pack to you and do some hill sprints!!!!
Thank you to the United States military for making the world peaceful. Let people all over the world know about rights, freedom and equality.
"If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse." - Jim Rohn
"Life is not fair and you will fail often" is such a great quote to understand at a young age
Until you hit your thirties, cuz you now become a worthless failure in life no matter what you want to believe. Anyone who isn’t truly successful by 35 is a worthless human being even after making their bed.
@@TheInfantry98bullshit take
2:54 if you want change the world measure a person by the size of their heart not by the size of their flippers…❤🙌
Yes!! Thanks for pulling this out!
The admiral is still a great man God bless America
A good talk that teaches you that you have to improve yourself to be better every day, good life advice with the phrase that every time you get up you make your bed
I watched this videos in 2017 when I was at one of the lowest points. Helped me so much and I am still around.
That’s good you’re still here. Because you matter. I hope you always know that
When life gets me Down,...It's this Brilliant Speech that Gives me that renewed edge to not Give up,...Grateful for You Admiral!!! I WILL NEVER GIVE UP!!!!
He made a point. Before I heard this video, I cleaned up my table after I was at a fast food restaurant because Dad told me I didn't want folks to think I was a slob. But this was another thing. WHO WOULD KNOW WHETHER NOT I MADE UP MY BED? I'm single and Admiral McRaven told me that I would when I got home, I would not think of myself as a slob. Great lesson.
Because he respects every man who makes it no matter what religion or walk of faith it helps the man, like the men. Hope is not a cornered word to just a certain religion. It’s what it is HOPE
When I heard the message, I saw my life and faith in God. We go through trials, tribulations, and downfalls. I looked at it as a test to see if I was willing to do what was necessary to prove I was willing and able to do something that, If we continue to fight the good fight, will make it through. I compared the angels who helped and encouraged me to during
my difficult struggles to angels, to show myself and God I
would never stop and not give up
no matter what. Making it to the end is my greatest reward. My reward is not to earn a trophy or
medal, but to be accepted, go to Heaven and see God.
👏👏👏
Just heard this speech for the first time and was very moved by it. It resonates in so many areas of life!
Blessings to all ❤
This is a dead stick. I've downloaded one of the greatest speeches of all time. And inspired many native american people, respect everyone.
It is truly amazing how some people on some days can speak in a way that can inspire thousands to do what they previously believed they were incapable of. Pretty damn cool.
Great point!
Changed ma life : 4 years ago
I am from india where the west comes to learn life lessons from the yogis and gurus but to be true this 10 min speech turned my life positively upside down .✊
I love this! I wish this speech could be heard in every school across America.
Nothing mattered but your will to succeed. Admiral McRaven - USN Seal
He is a wise man. I’ve been making my bed for decades. Made my daughter do the same. Now~~ my grandsons do the same. You have to start somewhere ~~~ why not there. 🙌🏻✨🙌🏻
“Life is not fair and you will fail often” 👍🤫✌️🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Still gives me chills
This speech made me clear most difficult exam of Army. I addition, i met with major accident and I was air evacuated by aircraft of air force. The best doctors of Armed forces gave up on my survival. But I strates running in 3 months drom the date of accident when doctors committed that i ll only be able to walk after 6 months.
ITS ALL BECOZ OF HOPE WHICH ADMIRAL SPOKE ABOUY
🌎 Amen. Thank God for my freedom. Thank God for another day never promised. I am greatful to work hard for my family. Thank God I will honor my freedom. Thank God my chains are gone.
Did ya’ll know there’s also a book that he wrote?!? It has this speech in it. It’s a light read, but very inspiring. I’d highly recommend it. Making my bed every day has changed my mentality and approach to life. Never give up. You can do this.
Going to look it up!!
I watched this video years ago and it always stuck with me. Starting each day I would make my bed, with a task completed. Fast forward to years later I came across Admiral William H. McRaven’s book “Make Your Bed” at a thrift store, by no coincidence. I just now finished this very book, as my first book to read in my 75 hard challenge and have come to rewatch it in rewards of finishing his book, such an iconic speech, what a blessing. 👏🏽
This speech has always helped me whenever I felt low. This was life changing. I make my bed every day. Motivation at its very best. ❤
Miss you everyday dad thanks for sending this to me…always showing me the way
If you wanna change the world
Start each day with a task completed
Find someone to help you through life
Respect everyone
Know that life is not fair and that you will fail often
But if you take some risks,
Step up when the times are the toughest ,
Face the bullies,
Lift up the downtrodden,
And never ever give up,
The next generation n the one after that will live in a far better world than the one we have now.
If you can’t do the little things right you can’t do the big things right
Measure someone by the size of their heart
Hope can change everything
I listen to this speach from time to time and because of it I started making music to encourage people and give them hope! Take care everybody!
I've recently started making my bed hoping for a positive change in my life. I really need it
Me too man, me too
It was 2017 when i've seen this speech for the first time. Sharks were at university, behind their safe desk. They were eating me alive, i started to punch their snout. My bed was left undone, i started making It every morning. My fellow students, they were in trouble and i started helping them. My senpais at the gym, they started to respect me more, and training became more effective. Long years have passed from that first time in which i've seen this speech, and longer years were passing longing for such an inspiration. Now, i consider how far i've made It, and truly i am inspired by that carcass of a boy that i don't know from where has found the strenght to fight for his life. We are all gonna make it.
CHEERS!! This GODDAMN SPEECH!!! is one of the best in history!!!
Aint no RECON RAIDER!!!, ain’t no UDT SAILOR ( SEALS are just letters!). I’m just a humble human man!! Same for all y’all!! Just listen and so as he SUGGESTS!
Cheers to all good people!!!
Never left my bed untidy since I've seen heard this speech 7 years ago
This guy has lead the best special forces this world has ever seen. When he speaks you better listen. Guys like this is why we will never be defeated 🇺🇸
We need more of this type of leadership in the world today and humbleness to listen.
woah ❤!! Ive been having an amazing day manifesting nothing but energy to keep myself strong and to keep my head up all ive gotta say is thank you to Admiral McRaven for what he said about his men and women and giving and providing me with the extra strength that we all have within us, its incredible how a small task from the moment you wake you without realizing it will change your life forever. Together we can all make the difference and we all have a purpose as in individual. My eyes are open and i hope to make a difference for the greater good!
I heard this video while I was going thru a divorce 6 years ago. It helped pull me out of depression. Been making my bed ever since. It’s truly life changing.
I have used alcohol for my entire life and started using drugs during covid. I lost everything i had and was homeless for 9 months. I am sober now and this speech has changed my entire life as it taught me a new way of life... Make your bed.
I'm proud of you! Life can be challenging at times so use grit to get you through. Don't be afraid to talk with others for solutions because we don't always know all the options. Set small goals for success & keep making new goals. Celebrate those wins in a good way. ❤
I showed my kid this video a few years back and then he " got it". Admiral McRaven....you could be that 1 person that changed the world and you may not even know it
My bed alreadys been made so I'm ready to make an impact on the world Sir Not for money but greatness A admiral and warrior as a seal and commander William Mcraven i truly respect and admire Hooyah Navy🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🔥🔥🔥
My oldest grandson just enlisted in the Navy on Monday
My ELA teacher showed us this video and I teared up and I seriously took it to heart I’m still young and have not had much life experience yet but this is life changing
Always keep your eyes & ears open. Knowledge is power!
I find amusement when the crowds laughs at great Admiral, finding encouragement in the littlest of things that can give you encouragement, because that can be the biggest things for people that want to make a difference in there life....
We need more people like him. He is an inspiration. It’s so true if you can’t do the little things right you will never do the big things.
I still listen to this in 2024 and it builds me and brings me to tears every time
This is more than just making your bed in the morning. This is about taking responsability for your life, starting with small things so you can go on to bigger things. It's about having self discipline in your daily life so you can achieve goals in the long term.
Eventually, your life will be better and you will influence the world around you positively.
In the darkest moments I hear that speech. Thank you for your service Admiral
🎗 semper fi from Germany 🇩🇪
For everyone: I have listened to this speech in tears throughout years of my life. In all imaginable situations, I have persevered while taking to heart Admiral McRaven’s sage advice. I love to imagine how many times these lessons have come to fruition for this great man.
Thank you admiral McRaven. I just finished reading your book “Make your bed” . Very inspiring. I was raised by military families At 3 yrs old we we were taught and trained to make our bed as soon as we get up in the morning. For 47 years it was part of my daily life. After reading your book I finally understood how I survived all the obstacles of failure and success in life. Your book is so inspiring and can’t wait to share it to everyone. Really small thing can make thing so difference. Thank you so much .
I play this audio every morning while making my bed before anything, it really does motivate you and makes you feel good every morning about getting things done
This message, this quote, is what gets me up in the morning. This is what pushes me to keep going, to complete any task I have for today, to live every day to the fullest, to truly believe in myself. It’s truly an inspiration.
I have always made my bed, but after hearing this speech, i make it careful. And encourage others to never give up.❤
His speech is one of the best that I've ever heard, when I need encouragement, I watch this video again, I've shared it on Facebook many times hoping it will encourage others
Straight up I am so motivated to get my life going and going. Making my bed and doing little things right and can do the big things right
This video helped me 4 years ago 😊 As I made my bed this morning I thought of this video 😊 your made bed is always there for u after a hard day 😊
The music selection was perfect for this video
This is has been my morning audio for the last few years and has helped me take those first few steps each day. Maybe not lifechanging but the small steps lead to progress.
When your life has changed look back at those small things that lead to that. Much love!
Face down the bullies, lift up the down trodden... Those are words to love by.
My toughest boss shared this video with our crew one morning before work..I didn’t realize it at the time but he meant well even though he was aggressive at times..he knew that our mentality had to be challenged and encouraged to be successful as a team that day..we not only hit our Black Friday mark but we exceeded it!!!!! Starting by fluffing the pillows & makin the bed!!!!
Very true👏 The best soldier should become the king🙂
I have read the book and completed it and I came here only to say thank you to the Author. I am so grateful you wrote your experience and thankful I got to know about it and read it. I want to do my best without quitting in life, Stay Blessed everyone
The world would be a much better place if everyone heard these words - Never *ever* give up
May I meet this wonderful Individual before I leave this world. He prevents suicides....well him and Dr Peterson from Our friends the Canadians.
Absolutely beautiful! Goosebumps every time.... I got no words to say.. that's literally all I can say
This guy for president
If you want to change the world, first change yourself.
This video made a man of me.
When I was 19 I decided to join the marines everyday I would listen to this as I made my bed so I could run the 5 miles to my RS 5 years later after thinking I forgot what it was to be aMarine I found the book and now im back on my path and im never going to stop
This keeps me going when I’m down
Was encouraged to watch this video from my probation officer Alice Carranza after getting out the juvenile detention center and has totally changed my view to thing I make my bed every morning and thrive for the best !
I hope you're doing well.❤
This is brilliant. He anchors your best self to the first physical cue you encounter when you wake, your bed. It truly will change your life.

Since the day I heard this speech I make my bed everyday.. I changed and became a better person after listening to this. Thankyou so much🙏🏻
This is so powerful. I love it! I wish everyone could listen to this often, to raise their self esteem. Do it often enough and it becomes a part of you.
Yes! I saved this video under motivational and watch it just about every morning to get that boost for the day! Hope you have all the success in the world friend!
@@millennialElder88 no no jk
I have watched this only 2 times but i know it by hart already.
Watched this video many years ago when I was on my down moments, and now I am an Engineer. It brings back memories whenever I hear the speech 💪 "If you want to change the world start off by making your bed.."🔥
Winners Never Quit... quitters never win
I Never understood Why my Mom kept telling me to Always make up my bed before leaving for School . I found it soooo annoying and I had arguments about it with her ! I found it soooo useless !!! Then years later I came across This video and it was like " BOOM !!! " I Suddenly understood perfectly What my Mom was trying to tell me all the time !! And until This Day ... I Never leave the house without making up my bed !! This morning at 7.30 am in Amsterdam, I watched it Again !!! Thank You, Admiral William H McRaven , for this Reminder, an inspirational Life Changing Speech ! Wherever you are ... I hope you're well, Sir ! 🤘💝
His book, based on this speech, is now, in my opinion, a seminal part of the motivation process. It is not filled with happiness and joy, but reality. There are obstacles in life we cannot move. The only way out is through.
