Acting : Motivational Video - Jean-Claude Van Damme Epic Speech - Jean-Claude Vandammelibrary by Florin Şumălan

Motivating speech! Jean-Claude Van Damme said, "If it came too easy, how can you appreciate your success?" Trying again and again to nail a self-tape, writing that script that seems impossible to get right, etc. It makes us appreciate the wins. Thanks for sharing the video, Florin Şumălan.

Thank you for sharing Florin Şumălan Wow, the imagery alone is motivating, not to mention the words. What stayed with me was the idea that if we believe/know we will get there (and Jean-Claude believes anything is possible) then we can enjoy the path. This perpsective definitely helps me feel more light and spacious, like i can breath easier when considering my path. How has it helped you?

Awesoem share. I met Jean-Claude a few times at Gold's Gym in LA a few years ago - absolutely genuine and nice guy. This was a terrific listen.

Thank you for sharing! It was such a lovely watch. Succeeding in life, following the path to your dreams, and visualizing your goals are all so important. Becoming aware of YOU is key to making it all happen!

Alexandra Stevens , I think these words help me a little bit to keep going and not let go of the "dream", but I find difficult this "enjoy the path" thing. Maybe the most important and precious thing Jean-Claude Van Damme talks about is this awareness ("be aware") - when you ask yourself questions like "what I want to do". I think that when you become aware is in a way like if you are trapped in a very large, dense, crowd of people, and somehow you find a way to get your head above, out of the crowd, and you see in the distance all the things that are there, things you dind't see before and maybe you didn't even know that those things existed...

HI Florin Şumălan yes you make a good point. In fact I realise since writing about enjoing the path I totally didn't hold on to that today! ;) I think you're right about awareness being the essential factor. In Gestalt Therapy, awareness is the first step towards change. Awareness of what we want. In addition i try and be aware of how i move towards getting what i want and how i sabotage myself. Curious what your dream is?

Alexandra Stevens , this movie making thing. I admire the great works of many filmmakers throughout history and I think I wish to do my part in this too.

What is your "dream", what are your "dreams"?

Florin Şumălan That's a beautful dream. You can achieve it, i'm sure. Currently mine is to coach and teach actors and also to produce.

Jean-Claude Van Damme has such a unique perspective on perseverance and visualization. His journey from martial artist to global action star is a testament to the power of determination and belief in oneself. It’s always inspiring to hear from someone who truly understands the discipline required to chase and achieve big dreams. Thanks for sharing this, Florin Şumălan!
