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!.
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.
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!
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´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....
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
+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 :-)
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!
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)
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.
What a wonderful video. Simple yet so real. If we all stopped just one minute to think of where it is we are headed we could find our way to happiness much quicker. Thank you for a superb outlook on life! At Absolute Bachelor Club we say: Live Life, Experience Love!
Joined Holstee a couple of months ago. Just found this awesome video today. Hoping to develop the manifesto and video into a lesson for high school students. Anyone else done this?
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?
@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.
@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.
This video really hit home. Thank you. I follow a lot of the pieces of advice and morals that you show in this video. I believe everyone should. Thanks for making my day just a little bit more bearable. :)
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!!
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.
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 ....
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.
I didn't know, that the fact that some guys filmed a video about happy people of all races is so powerfull, that all people in the world of all races become incredibly rich and happy
This is one of the most life-inspiring VDO I've ever soon! Got me goose-bumping throughout! Thanks so much for sharing these awesome positive energy VDO!!
Todas las emociones son hermosas. La vida es simple. Cuando comas, aprecia cada bocado. Abre tu mente, tus brazos y tu corazón a nuevas cosas y nueva gente. Estamos unidos en nuestras diferencias. Pregúntale a la próxima persona que veas, cuál es su pasión y comparte tu sueño. Viaja con frecuencia. Perderte te ayudará a encontrarte a ti mismo. Algunas oportunidades sólo se presentan una vez, aprovéchalas.
Story of my life...few years ago I started realizing that life is everything you talk about in this video. Except one thing : life is long. As Oxmo Puccino (french rapper) would say : "parce que la première est toujours dernière fois/Déguste chaque minutes, vivre un perpétuel terminus/Comment faire quelque heures de 5 minutes." (Because the first time is always the last time/Savour each minute, live a perpetual terminus/How to make a few hours with 5 minutes)...

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.
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.
@stephenericwalsh Really agree with you! It's such a shame that so many people in the Western world just don't appreciate how lucky we really are! Maybe we could start doing this and start treating each other better. Thanks for posting this!

Andrea, that's incredible to hear! I'm so grateful that our manifesto has resonated with you for over 10 years!! - Mike
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!!!
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.
the holstee manifesto changed me as a person. it really is something else
One of our favorite videos ever! Wisdom to last a lifetime in just under 3 minutes. Amazing!
This is BeAuTiFuL!!! I need to watch it everyday, it stirs up my emotions. Love! Thank-You for collaborating and sharing. #theholsteemanifesto
I watch this for a million time, for every time that I want the Inspiration, This video always fulfils me.

"All Emotions Are Beautiful"...tell that to those who lost loved ones today in CT...
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.

Short, but yes, all so wide!
from all of us at Holstee, thank you for all of the love! we are so thrilled to share this film with you :D

Wow!! Just WOW! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! Bravo!
I can't say thank u enough to those people who came up with these ideas & made this video!
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 ...

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?
Amazing refresher of the whole point.... glad fierceginger recommended it.
@holsteeTV thank you for the inspiration!!!
Amazing work. I agree with 100% of this video and you're guaranteed to find happiness if you live by these words and messages.
The soundtrack is wonderful!
Inspiring. Wise. Agree with every single word said.
