Brief personal reflection video in which the speaker recounts receiving a motivational sticky note from his daughter that reads "if we believe in our dreams, they are achievable," cites a passage attributed to Seneca about being roused to honorable deeds and aiming high, and encourages viewers to "aim high" before signing off. The tone is motivational and personal, with an explicit nod to classical philosophy.
I don't really feel like a cold shower. And then I walked in. And as is becoming the norm, my daughter has given me my little motivational sticky note which today says, if we believe in our dreams, they are achievable. So using that one as motivation, I've tracked down a bit of Seneca where he's talking about dreams and aspirations. Pick up the list of the philosophers. That very act will compel you to wake up. When you see how many men have been working for your benefit, you will desire eagerly to be one of them yourself. For this is the most excellent quality that the noble soul has within itself, that it can be roused to honorable things. No man of exalted gifts is pleased with that which is low and mean. The vision, great achievement summons him and uplifts him. Bless my daughter and her motivation for the day. I should have the camera pointing up a little bit larger. I think I've got a skull today, so aim high, keep aiming. I guess for great things will come to the loose, according to my daughter. Have a wonderful day. See a cold shower.
