The Video That Changed My Life in an Instant
I’ve had to thank Zach Even-Esh many times over the years, and it seems I owe him one once again. On a side note, Zach is publishing a book soon and I couldn’t be prouder — it really is a testament to what hard work can do.
Zach posted a video on Facebook the other day that changed my life, and I know it will for you too. It is really cliche to say such a bold statement, but I am telling you the truth.
What really stuck out for me in this video was the sense of urgency. Urgency to change immediately, the things that I’ve been doing that were meaningless. The sense of urgency to never chase anything that wasn’t what was really important to me.
What is important to me?
Family
Friends
Changing the lives of others.
Making a difference.
The statements said in the video pounded in my head so loud I could barely breath.
“I thought about all of the experiences I wanted to have, but never did”
“I never again, want to postpone anything in life”
“Urgency and purpose has changed my life”
“I regret the time I wasted on the things that did not matter with people that matter”
“I no longer try to be right, I choose to be happy”
“I only wish for one thing, to see my kids grow up”
“The only goal I have in life is to be a great dad”
“I was given a gift to see into the future, come back, and live differently.”

That video just changed the game, didn’t it!!!????
Thanks Smitty and Zach!
I’ve seen this video before and it is a great reminder of what is really important. Glad I can learn from someone else’s experiences and not have to do it myself.
Went through something like that when my wife got pancreatic cancer. I would add that you also take a long look at your relationship with God. She survived, thank God, and we both say that it honestly was a good experience in that it does change how you view life…some people are hard-headed and just have to live the experience (like me) to learn from it. You definitely don’t sweat the small stuff as much afterward. Good stuff, Smitty, thanks much.
Thanks Guys!!!
