Life to the Fullest

It’s hard not to think about life and death when you have friends that are going through some serious struggles. I am constantly reminded that life is short, and that I should make the most of every second I have. Below are a couple videos that are great reminders that life should be lived, and lived to the fullest.

Jim Valvano at the 1993 ESPY Awards

Dr. Randy Pausch

Living life to the fullest includes laughter. Lots of laughter. I’ll leave you with a comedy sketch by Mike Birbiglia that made me laugh out loud recently.

Don’t Ever Give Up

Today on ESPN Radio they are doing their third annual Don’t Give Up ESPYs V Foundation Auction. The speech Jimmy V made at the first annual ESPY Awards conitues to be one of the most inspirational speeches I’ve ever heard.

Listen, watch, or read the speech on this post I did in 2005.
