The Holstee Manifesto is a call to action to live a life full of intention, creativity, passion, and community.
The LifeCycle Film came about as a desire to bring the energy and passion behind the Manifesto to life through something we love--biking. As we seek to live mindful lifestyles that leave a positive impact on the people and world around us, biking has become a passion that is much more than a transportation alternative. It is a way of fully experiencing the city we love and all of its details.
This Film is a celebration. It is a celebration of gatherings, of diversity, of life, and of the beauty of shared experience. We hope you enjoy.

I come back here once a few years since i watched it first time, still impressing me the beauty and simpleness of the message, this video is truly inspiring
I was about to say this. A friend of mine had sent this to me more than a decade ago. Watching this gives me a positive vibe and gets me going again!. More power!.
Thank you so mean ❤️ came to know about this from short book by Ryan Holiday 🙏
I absolutely love this video. I am so grateful that you took the time to make this. It is exactly what I need on this thanksgiving morning.
Awesome!
@justbeelieve I'm torn. I love the inspiration this video offers, but I also agree in some regards with you- that this kind of message is for spoiled, rich westerners. However, I believe that people from all classes/experiences/parts of the world search for & find meaning in similar places- through love, family, etc. My question to you, as someone who strongly believes in their perspective, is what do you suggest as a message to live by? If this video doesn't capture it, what's your manifesto?
Really naice video...its such a pity that it has only this much views!!!
Excelente!!!.
could the last part of this video be recorded the last september close to Madison Sq Garden? I think I was waiting for the bus and i saw them!!! (a lot of ppl riding and making noise!!!)
I´ve discovered this manifesto more than 10 years ago, and from time to time, when I feel lost, or that things are not going well, I just look for the video and things begin to leverage again....
Andrea, that's incredible to hear! I'm so grateful that our manifesto has resonated with you for over 10 years!! - Mike
While I appreciate the message of this video, a lot of these "inspirational suggestions" depend highly on both being in a stable and flexible financial situation and not being quietly discriminated against.
It’s hard not to see through the quick little dopamine hits that these types of things go for, but at least it’s positive intention. Positive intention is good.
ALL of these inspiration messages depend on what you want to create in your life and what you are LOOKING for. Challenging finances and quiet discrimination suck, but are not the end of the story unless you want them to be. WHERE can you CREATE and FIND joy? Focus on what you want, not what you don't want. You may still get somethings you don't want, but you will certainly discover MUCH more of what you do want.
from all of us at Holstee, thank you for all of the love! we are so thrilled to share this film with you :D
Eight years ago, I happened to come across this video while I was slipping into a depression for multiple reasons. It was just the right kick in the pants I needed, just at the right time. I probably don't say this enough, but thank you for this. It changed my life for the better.
I cry every time I watch this, because I've wasted my life so much...
+Gerardo Ca Es - Tears tends to come to my eyes a little each time I watch this too. And until I read your comment I thought it was "only" because it's beautiful ans inspiring... But I realize this emotion is about the wasted time... Thanks for putting words on it ...
But also, the good news are .. It's (hardly) never too late :-)
Even though your comment may sound cynical to most people, there is some truth to what you say, life isnt as easy as some of these videos and people sound them out to be....
And if you'd love watching tv?
Do what you love (watching tv) and do it often,
If you don't have enough time, stop watching tv.
...to watch tv :D
My favorite video on UA-cam
+One Girl: One World Is one of my favourite too! really a beauty message!
This is BeAuTiFuL!!! I need to watch it everyday, it stirs up my emotions. Love! Thank-You for collaborating and sharing. #theholsteemanifesto
"Open your heart, mind and arms to new things and people, we are united in our differences." ~ Holstee
This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don't like something, change it. If you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once; seize them. Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating. Live your dream, and share your passion. Life is short.
Short, but yes, all so wide!
I caught this video because it was about bikes, a fierce passion of mine; I kept it because it's timelessly simple and REAL. We're taught, many of us, that the daily grind of our parents is what life is; I fought that from childhood, NOT wanting to be like my mother (who demanded JUST that from me).
She died with an excess of money, which she split between her three sons; I used my share to enhance the lives of the extended family I STILL cherish. We likely never will have that excess; but every day, I have something she never had -- an abundance of unconditional love.
Life is about passion, and short of harm to self or others, NO pursuit of passion is wrong.
So proud of you all. Keep inspiring and know you have endless support when you look for it and even when you don't. Be well. Capture Your Flag.
@stephenericwalsh I concur. After shooting the icecream scene I made the same observation. The ice cream was not the original "food" we had in mind, it had rained and the other venders had all packed up. I feel that the US flag on the ice cream tempers the message; that we have amazing freedom and opportunity here and we should be grateful for it. In the last century, the world was sold the idea that owning a car and house as the American dream. I hoped to inspire a new dream with this vid.
@drmarthacastro But you can't tell someone to quit their job if they're unemployed. You can try to help them.
This is my life, I have questioned decisions and things I have done following my heart and passions even quite my good job this last summer for something and sometimes I look at my life now and ask if i would change what I did and this helped me to remember I never would. I love this video so much!!!

When being asked:"What video you've liked most on UA-cam?", this video has been on top of my mind. I have search for 1 hour to find out this video because I've forgot the name. I remember that I had watched and shared it on Facebook 2 years ago, and finally, I'm writing this comment :") This video still give me power alot!
You are absolutely right, the message of this film is an oversimplification for the majority of the people on this planet.
However, for us rich westerners this film should remind us of just that: the fact that we can buy ice cream and don't have to struggle to survive.
We do have the opportunity to live our dream but all to often fail to do so.
Anyone here from manifesto final project
Just sigh; amazing. This video always gives me courage.
good video
This world needs more people just like you! Thanks for being so full of LOVE!
Great video, makes me feel warm inside, the fact that there are people who want to live their lives like this, rather than the way i had assumed most were becoming :) ( guess i wasn't looking further than my home town)
You've created something beautiful and that changes lives. THANK YOU.
for the love of God -- STOP SHARK FINNING
@EdvinLaura The only thing that annoyed me in this video is that it's is so much one-sided and egoistical. It is clear that it was made by wealthy people who probably have no real problems in their life (famine etc). It talks about travelling and quiting your job, and takes for granted that you can afford such things.
Nor does the manifesto say anything about helping others in their pain, only talks about "enjoy life, do what you like". How seflish to think only like that.
So basically what you're saying is the whole video annoyed you? I'm inclined to agree with you though.
Sure, this video is aimed at " more developed societies"; the abject poor don't have the internet.
Would I change THAT if I could? Yes. But that would take a provable god to accomplish, since all the fakes are huge reasons for things being the way they are.
This video embraces the idea of self-determination. I cannot just quit my job, either. So what? The video is a celebration. Don't like it? Leave.
the holstee manifesto changed me as a person. it really is something else
Quit your job that supports your family. GREAT IDEA !
"All Emotions Are Beautiful"...tell that to those who lost loved ones today in CT...
I LOVE this message, because life IS short. Too often we hold ourselves back from FULLY living our dreams, out of fear. But my fear is looking back at life with regrets.
I can't quit my job i live in spain >.>
ik snap deze helemaal ni

en cs"Esta es tu vida, haz lo que te gusta y hazlo enseguida. Si algo no te gusta, cámbialo. Si no te gusta tu trabajo, déjalo. Si sientes que te falta tiempo, olvida la televisión. Si estás buscando el amor de tu vida, detente; estará esperando por ti cuando tú comiences a hacer las cosas que amas. No analices en exceso.
La vida consiste en las personas que conoces y las experiencias que creas junto ellos, así es que sal fuera y empieza a crear.
La vida es corta. Vive tu sueño y comparte tu pasión.
Life is about the people you meet :)
"Getting lost will help you find yourself" :D Amazing inspiring video, and 75 people didn't get it.
Vivir conscientemente es tomar riesgos, es estar abierto a lo que te pida la vida, es saber que esto se puede acabar mañana y sonreir. Es saber que todo está bien aunque nada sea lo que pensábamos que iba a ser. Es querer estar vivo. Ya que estamos, qué si no?
. . . out of termoil came my necesity to change. . . where I began re-discovering the same simplicty, beauty and wisdom so eloquently delivered here from the Holstee manifesto =::= mazel tov
I watch this for a million time, for every time that I want the Inspiration, This video always fulfils me.
No se trata de decir que es lo que se ve en este video, las criticas no son ni constructivas ni incriminantes, podemos tener diferentes conceptos y reverenciar la vida de los demás, los muchachos de "Holstee" la tienen clara, asi algunos de los que aqui opinan no esten de acuerdo. Vivamos el manifiesto como ciudadanos del mundo y generemos una apertura a un camino de paz!
Beautiful
love the song, and the whole Idea, now my friends are sharing this video, thanks for being inspiration for us! and we love bicycles too!!
It says to do what you love and do it often. It says if you don't like something, change it (basically learn to like what you hate). Why? What's the point in trying to like something you don't like? That's more a waste of time than watching TV when I love to watch TV.
"Life is simple"
It is not. Only if you are born into existing connections into today's zombie society that excludes individuals and prefers mindless followers.
Then, the end in short: "Life is about other people". Wait, what?
@Cassawina I do agree with some points in the video-things like passion and love. However, all i'm saying is, that people of this kind(the ones with financial freedom and good opportunities),be thankful for what they have first, and realize that not everybody is given opportunities/basic needs they have. Not to force them to help or have pity to those who don't, but in hopes that they are human enough to understand that the world needs them, whether it be to fight corruption, donate, inspire.
@TheCrazyMan0 People who see that surrounding circumstances don't allow them to do what the film implies, it's just out of their hands, they can't simply quit their jobs because they don't like them or simply meet new people, they can't even afford the ticket to travel, I think this video is far too optimistic not realistic video that its message will make better lives for a small proportion of world's people.
I love the message but this video is a fricking ad for a company trying to project a certain image to cater to a certain crowd. IT IS NOT A PSA ANNOUNCEMENT. This video is meant to inspire action regardless of your economic status. It doesn't necessarily mean eat ice cream and ride a bike. Then again complacency and making excuses is the opposite point of the video and is the easier option.
@stephenericwalsh I couldn't agree more.
"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."
-John Adams
Give credit where credit is due.
Imagine if all the immigrants that made AMERICA what it is today, would have quit if they didn´t like their jobs. All the hard working Asians, all the peddlers that eventually became business owners, all the Germans, Italians, British people, etc. Good message to feel good, but when you put it against reality..... Life is a struggle, we have to embrace the struggle, and when we have sufficient funds to do what we love, we go for it. We are not entitled to anything in this life, we have to earn it.
Inspiring. Wise. Agree with every single word said.
I actually appreciate your perspective.. because I'm usually as cynical or critical..whatever adjective you prefer. However, I think this commercial is a little less macroscopic in it's intent. I think these messages even hold water in North Korea, for Pete's sake.
and if one feels victimized by a society which oppresses him/her...then work to change it in a positive way. we cant blame the victims of oppression and tell them to get over it..we need to level the playing field so everyone has an equal chance to live their best life. .
When I first started bike riding my intention was to only buy a bike to get to work. I bought a cross country mountain bike and I began to do that, and now I mountain bike the trails here in El Paso Tx.but I still get to work on my mountain bike. The way I look at it one less car out there.. CHEERS!!
everyone, play this video all the time!
holstee, thank you very much in deed!
regarding the scene @0:25: if you were a helmet, fasten the belt. the helmet of the woman in the video will be far gone, before her head hits the ground or the windshield of a car ....
No one is saying to stop working in this video - what it's meant is: if your job is not good for you, if it makes you unhappy, QUIT IT! There are many other jobs out there, many things you can do. Remember: if your job kills you, it will be a lot worst for you - and for your family. Believe me.
夢を叶えよう。もしそれが不可能だったらそれを可能にしよう。奇跡が待っている。奇跡が起こらなければ奇跡と言う言葉は無い、と誰かが言った。その奇跡を起こす只一つの条件は奇跡を信じて諦めないことではないだろうか。必ず運も奇跡も八百万の神も味方してくれると思う。それが努力を続ける者に与えられた特権ではないだろうか。
@barcelonabici
Way to miss the point. Maybe you also missed all the iconic American landmarks that would clue you in that this is America. * sidebar: helmets work great at preventing comas/death. which then allows you continue living your life.
boom.
@stephenericwalsh That is so true mate all I remember is one proverb - War kills man. Luxury kills mankind.
There is more love in those eastern countries than materialistic west which is mostly restricted to outer beauty than building of inner spiritual self
some people are bigger fans of solitude, others love meeting new people, and hearing fresh perspectives on life, i think if you keep yourself to yourself, your judgment can become clouded with noone to ever challenge it.
I'm surprised at the negative comments, as mean and unfair as the world can be isn't it nice to be inspired by a beautiful dream. Change happens when we believe in dreams not when we despair of reality. Thanks for the video!
I'm amused by the bitterness and sarcasm here. "Quit your job? Yeah right! blah blah blah" The point here, I'm thinking is to live your life with passion, find the job that suits you. Maybe it really is digging the ditch and not asking if you'd like fries with that or maybe it's building things or teaching or creating or following orders or whatever it is. Follow your passion. It's not a political message. Follow your passion. Appreciate the very short moments we have on earth. Share. Be Kind.
I like the video and I think what it says is true for a subset of the Western world where we have the luxury of making these choices. Sadly, I don't think it applies to the majority of people who work to barely survive. Watch people riding around on bicycles eating ice cream talking about pursuing their creative dream and then think about someone with no education, access to clean water and who contracted AIDS during birth and it all seems a bit tragic. Be thankful for how lucky we are.
@raepood How is it that a comment that makes no god damn sense got 21 up votes? What the hell are you talking about? And if English is not your first language, why are you swearing so much?
To all the people complaining. Try being positive in your life for once.....you might like it. The world is not a utopia. It doesn't mean that you can't watch a short youtube clip and smile.
Really? That's your response? That's very sad. I hope you learn to see other than what you hate or resent. There were people of all races in that video doing things they love and enjoy.
nooooo tererechipa... no wayyyyyy... is easy if your a real human, a real beign, nor a false falatia that built the world since empowerment and establishmente were settle in the society.
One of our favorite videos ever! Wisdom to last a lifetime in just under 3 minutes. Amazing!
Or perhaps it should teach us that we should give others the same opportunities we have. It's not difficult, it's not impossible, it's actually very easy to do so: it would happen naturally, if we all lived by these "rules" illustrated in the video. Read the text, don't just watch the pictures.
I agree with everything in this video except for the line "life is short"
Life is not short, please tell me what you can possibly experience that is longer than your life.
my ideal mission in life - to live my dream, to make the most out of it!
@KaiAndrius Most of them are non hipsters. Just regular ppl. What kind of stereotype do you want to see riding bikes? Seems like it's a really important issue for you. Even though it got nothing to do with the meaning of the video
great video... BUT the thing about the people you meet are your life? I wouldnt say that... you create yourself and life IS about creating yourself with yourself
@stephenericwalsh it's not as simple as West v East or North v South. There is both waste and hunger everywhere. Appreciate the gratitude shout out though.
Any chance you have this in Spanish? Perhaps I missed it somewhere. Thank you for sharing/reminding us of not to get lost in the unimportant things of life. We decide what our path is.
Please can we translate this video for a Russian?Please can we translate this video for a Russian?
So you're some black buy with difficult life who cant buy an ice cream but actually got youtube account and internet connection? Seems legit.
did u experience to be homeless? did u experience not to eat for a day? you may be a very positive man.. but were talking about real life here...
@MoldytoasterMedia I think it's the people that make the world function in a way so, if it weren't for the people you met the life would be dull
if you take it as THEIR manifesto, it's fantastic! If it's not for you, or for people in some other place, that is ok. get your own manifesto.
Is the best inspire video everrrr :)
i wonder if people will find my little music video from here, and through that make a qualitative difference to my every day existence.
Yes, in Ukraine you can buy 1 ice cream every day, because the minimum salary here is around 100 bucks. It is so easy to be happy :)
@stephenericwalsh: You are right! Among other things, we should try more to help the unfortunate ones. This will prove we are human!
What you say is so true.... Great words.. and great wisdom....it would be nice to have a cup of coffee with you and just talk and get some perspective, I surly need it :(.
I'm not a US citizen, and I am happy..
NarimanAbbasov, if becoming a US citizen can make you happy, then be one. Chase it..
@aledobretociastko people use those emotions to get things better..if your are sad it means something and you can change it!!!
@aledobretociastko the second group are more like states than emotions, except for fear or anger, but they can be good too.
so good to look this vidéo, to listen the music, to read thes words .............;now, live and become together lol
Haha, this reminds me of the music video for "Kings + Queens" by 30 Seconds to Mars...mostly the bikes and the font.
@ZMasterz12 I disagree... They're saying appreciate it and enjoy it... Don't just scarf it down. Scarfing down is how you get fat so... y know...
@aledobretociastko Emotions... in the final analysis it's just an illusion. Choose wisely what you want to feel.
Ahahahah now I remembered!! The opening notes are similar to Hercules go the distance ones...
A friend of mine died while cycling and it makes me think that a life with purpose is LIFE:)
