Undeniably, the road to success can be challenging, paving with moments of failures, setbacks, obstacles, roadblocks, and daily struggles.
It’s such a frustratingly slow process.
As Tony Robbins further explains, “It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It’s what we do consistently.”
Every day I focus on making 1% progress financially, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
No matter what you’re going through right now, you and I are very lucky to be living in the age of Internet.
We can get all kinds of information at the tips of our fingers.
The best teachers are on the Internet.
The best books are on the Internet.
The best videos are on the Internet.
One of the little things that keep me going and gain clarity is tap into some incredibly useful Youtube videos for quick wisdom, inspiration and guidance.
I didn’t know exactly how much impact they have on my life, but one thing for sure they have helped me follow my dreams, live a wealthier and happier life.
I hope you’ll find them as life-changing and inspiring as I did.
3 YouTube Videos That Changed My Life Forever
1. Naval Ravikant -How to Get Rich (without getting lucky)
For Startups, Entrepreneurs
Naval Ravikant has long been one of my favorite virtual mentor, philosopher/thinker.
His thoughts on success, money, life, happiness, decision making, productivity and meditation are eye-opening and thought-provoking.
Coming from a very humble background, he has clawed his way to success- a self-made multi-millionaire, entrepreneur, angel investor, advisor and a cryptocurrency enthusiast.
What’s the key to getting rich? Luck, risk or hard work?
One of his most popular content is about How to Get Rich without getting lucky.
And one that I openly recommend myself because of the sheer life-changing value and enlightening perspective it provides.
It all started with a tweet storm on “How to Get Rich” that goes viral that Naval Ravikant decided to explain and discuss his main ideas in detail on Podcast. His content is also available on Youtube.
The entire video (total 2hrs 43min) is divided into 37 mini-episodes for easy consumption. Each mini-episode (2-5 mins each) filled with valuable, actionable insights. Here’s the breakdown:

2. Hans Wilhelm- The Mystery of Life (based on Spiritual Laws of the Universe)
Take a moment: Zoom out and look at yourself in the vast universe and the trillions of galaxies.
We are nothing but a tiny speck in the unfathomably massive universe.
So, is our life, our existence, nothing but a random event?
If like me, you’re constantly questioning the meaning or purpose of life, you’d love this Youtube channel.
In this series of short videos, Hans Wilhelm explains non-denominational universal laws for everyone. Share the basic truth, his perspective that’s so unique, fresh and different, that can instantly change your mindset, attitude and outlook on life.
A slight shift can help us find and understand exactly who are we, why we are here and what we are looking for.
Be warned: Once you start watching one of the videos, it’s hard to stop and you’ll want to check out all of his videos. Which is a great thing.
“Wealth, Fame and Power”, “Life before Birth”, “Listen to Your Soul” are among my favorite.
3. Sadhguru- Spiritual
Sadhguru, a yogi, mystic, philanthropist and author of over 100 titles in 8 different languages, is one of the Youtube’s most watched gurus in the world.
What makes Sadhguru a truly inspirational character is his timeless wisdom, profoundness, humanity, eminent insights and his zany sense of humor.
His great thoughts, advice and teaching are absolutely relevant and applicable to our lives today.
It’s more than an inspirational video.
I often refer to him as Yoda.
When in doubts, bad mood, feeling lost or depressed, I’ll tap into his treasure trove of videos which have the answers to almost all our problems.
His wittiest replies will crack you up. Shed light on your path ahead. A few degrees of change can push you back in the right direction.
Get control of your negative mental chatter, emotions, fears, and explore life’s deepest questions with Sadhguru.
It’ll enlighten you, help you clear your mind, reduce attachment to your thoughts, make better decisions in life and business.
