My nephew introduced me to this wonderful young man, Inky Johnson. God had a bigger plan for his life, rather than football. He probably has no idea of the lives, young and old, that he has touched!! I love his passion, his spirit, his faith. He has definitely inspired my walk. May God continue to guide and direct his path.🥰
If you think his speech is great imagine eating dinner across from him at a restaurant. I had that experience and wanted so desperately to say ‘hello & thank you’ however, he was with his wife & children. Instead, I left moments before he did, sat in my car where I could see him exit the restaurant and yelled…Inky Johnson I LOVE YOUR WORK & THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!!. He was so humble…he waved and thanked me. 💕
I'm 13years old and I havea goal to become an NFL player just as you did. you have inspired me with only one video god had a purpose for you to inspire and educate people godbless you man I'll will never forget this. I'll feel as if god led me to you and now I will have a different perspective on life thank you
Don't wait 7 years to come back to the post, come back every few months to a year so it keeps you motivated. I love to see young ppl with such drive and dedication. No matter where life takes you whether it be to the NFL, owning your own business, or working your way up to CEO of a McDonald's. As long as you stay dedicated & motivated you can to whatever you want. Wishing you all much prosperity in life!
Inky Johnson, you have no idea how important this message is. I skip these wannabe motivational speakers 10 times a day, but I needed this, and I’ve watched it at least once a year since I found it. 🙏T🙏H🙏A🙏N🙏K🙏S🙏
I worked an event this weekend where he spoke. He is amazing, SO genuine, so warm, love for everyone he met just glows our of him. Add Inky Johnson to your regular playlist=make our world better
Great speech. I preached this very message to my son who had a promising tennis future, shattered by injury after injury. It is what we become in the process of trying to reach our goals that count more than if we actually reach the "product". I think the Inky has a message that should be heard by all black men today. 50 years ago the black family was the strongest family unit in this country. Today it is the worst. The destruction of the black family is one of the worst travesties of our generation.
I’m 12 years old and I have motivational days every week almost every day and only watch this video until it ends and then I watch it again because it really gets me! I love you Inky Johnson! Your the best and I’m so sorry that you had to go through that situation in football
i can not begin to tell you inky how many times i have gone to this video....it first stirred in me early in nursing school....i have watched this video and so many others....over and over and over again....your words of inspiration have literally changed my nursing school experience...i am watching you in this one because it was the very first one i watched....i can almost quote this video word for word....it is sinking into my soul to realize what i am doing, at my age, is bigger than me...the opportunity to change another persons life....and i love coach trey!
I am sure many people have told you this... "You honestly saved my life." I am thankful I came across your video a year ago. I came home one day and cried (when pain hits the soul). The feeling of people telling you, that your not worthy eventually gets to you. You start to question yourself. Thank you and I really wish we cross paths in our life time. I would like to personally thank you Inky. Anyone out there going through difficult times just whisper to yourself, "This too shall pass.." stay strong brothers/sisters, I love yall!
When I owned a taxi company I had the privilege of driving this gentleman around for a couple days and it was really an amazing experience and what a fine gentleman he is as well
Ink, all this time I realised I was selfish I believed God only spoke to me to do the right thing for other people and they just treat me bad coz that's what they want. After listening to you I believed they heard God's voice too as they kept pushing me down coz I began to dig deeper for a better meaning for this. God made sure I realise who I am coz through those moments I know level of Wisdom and Power I posses. I'm gonna be like you one day. THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION.
Sir you need to speak at schools across the country to help our young people and churches to help the older group. My God, you are powerful. Glory to God for your life
I think what Inky is teaching here is TRUE GENUINE SUCCESS starts on the INSIDE. Most people are trying to change outward circumstances rather than inward character, attitudes, and trusting God has a call/purpose for your life. But very FEW people reach the call God has for them cause they quit way to soon in life. Success in life is guaranteed to those who REFUSE to quit. Babe Ruth once said “ It’s hard to beat a person who refuses to quit.”
you make me want to run thru a brick wall....nursing school has challenged me in ways i never dreamed possible...but, i am reminded once again...i have a servants heart...it is the heart that GOD has given me....one day, you and i will cross paths in person....and, i will be able to say THANK YOU inky johnson....your story has changed the lives of many more than you would have EVER done in the NFL...keep changing the world young man....GOD has a warrior in you! and, inside each of us....its time to dig down deep....go get our dreams...but, we MUST make sure to make sure others lives are better too....GOD will make sure our life is good always!
We need a lot more of this from a lot more people. It's funny that I found this on the day I that am starting my community outreach, everything happens for a reason.
Hello Im Sandile Khoza from South Africa and im 19 years old ...Mr Inky Johnson u really changed my life man. I just want you to know that keep doing what u doing ink because u really changed my perspective man like u something else man damn. Im a weird kid ink....i think its because i just believe that there's more to life then to make a living and fuck around and die you know but anyways thanks alot .u really changed my life. When I'm a millionaire ink i will meet u man. Thanks again man
I am speechless and so emotional right now.... I will leave it here, until I find the words to encapsulate my experience after watching this powerful presentation. God bless you Inky Johnson!
I'm 14 and i had just been in trouble at school coming home to watch this changed my mindset about school and playing football because im also a DB thank you very much im sorry that this happened to you but u might think that it helped you and it helped me so thank you!!LY bro
Second time watching his testimony today and once again this has brought me to tears. What an inspiration! What a powerful word Inky! GOD is good even after such tragic times. As long as we still have a pulse God still has a purpose and plan for our life!!
thank you so much inky for just being you.. my son has always pushed himself to the limit he is missing the right bicuspid aorta valve but you would never be able to tell he plays v football and runs the 100 and 200 for track. it is men like you that gives him the will power to play with everything he has..
May God continue to bless you and your family, you are such a courageous and amazing human being. God had a higher calling for you, thank you for blessing us with your perspective about life, lost and strength.
Thank you so much ink! I’ve had a goal to go the MLB ever since I was 10 and because of you and the inspiration you’ve put inside me I know now to never stop and be okay with what I have or what I’ve accomplished! Process over product! Thank you!
I love your work, you are such an inspiration. Every single time i watch your speech you inspire me more and more! Thank you for sharing your story! #EmptyTheBucket
I've gone back and watched thus video several times and some of your other videos/ talks. There are some that I just really love and go back to hear them. Your talks are soo good!
Inky I'm blessed to find you my brother.......a year or so at around 32 I ran into a ton of medical issues heart issues lung issues.........ate healthy...workouted out I did the work.....idk how but still issues.........it matters not.........but I won't let it define me......I put in to much work.......I won't retreat................
Thank you is the simplest of words, but deep down it is a blessing to have listened and heard you. Your story and ideals apply to so many of us. We each need to hear and examine our purpose here on this planet. What's your purpose?
I'm just now finding out about your story....your words of wisdom is amazing it's a blessing that I've come across your videos your words added a new outlook on life for me...I thank you
I’m 16 I been playing football since I was 6 and it gets hard sometimes down the line and I get stuck sometimes and confused and I always find this video when I feel down or stuck cause no matter what life changes u go through it’s always a life changing decision that’s bigger and ppl everyday live with them
Thank you for your stand Inky. Watch Jesus paid for our healing by Barry Bennett. Nothing is impossible with God....a new arm and hand are easy for him. He made the world.
Wow, Inky inspires me!! Someone is always depending on me. Also, the whole thing of embracing the process. Can't watch a movie, have to help ur brother get to bed. Whatever it may be, surrendering to God, it's the key. Life will go great, if your surrendered, knowing that God see everything you're going through. Thankyou Inky!!
Would like to meet you sometime Inky, I also lost my right arm to a motorcycle accident back in May 30, 2015, i am 24yrs today. My injury was a Brachial plexus avulsion on my right side.
“The more you make sure that someone else’s life is okay, God will make sure that your life is ok”
Makes you look at life different 💯
That's powerful 🤔
The thing is it could be seen as selfish but helping people feels so good to help people you stop thinking about yourself
True dat👆. All things are possible with God.
If you go with God, you will enjoy life's to its fullest 😊
God is GOOD

I will never forget "you are never supposed to wish for it more than you are willing to work for it"
If you think his speech is great imagine eating dinner across from him at a restaurant.

🙏T🙏H🙏A🙏N🙏K🙏S🙏
"You're never supposed to wish for it, more than you work for it."
I listen to this every morning before I go to work. The part about his mom waiting on the field with her headlights on always gives me chills.
Young you may never be a Hall of Fame in the NFL but u will be a Hall of Fame in the eyes of God.
If you see this Inky.. i want you too know that you saved my life!! Thank you, god bless you.
I've heard this at least 20+Xs and it never gets old. In his speech you can actually feel that he means every word wholeheartedly. #powerful

Breathtaking story and message behind it. Thank you for sharing. This one will be one I watch again and again. We over Me. 👍🏼
