Ultimate Motivation: Greg Plitt Inspires From Beyond The Grave

MOTIVATION FOR LIFE

Have you ever met one those people who just have that glow, that it factor, that one intangible? Well that was Greg Plitt. The American fitness model, actor, and Army Ranger had an energy that could not be denied and he shared it with the world. But despite his aesthetic physique and larger than life personality, his true gift was the ability to inspire. His mindset was bulletproof, and luckily enough for us he was able to communicate that through his presence, actions, and words. In the motivational video below we see all these combined to leave a lasting impression from the grave.

Though he lost his life tragically to a locomotive train back in January of 2015, his goal to leave a legacy lives on. The building blocks of his philosophy consisted of perseverance  and hard work, and the ability to leave your past self behind. So if you’ve reached a plateau, feel like the aches and pains are getting too much, or just need motivation, remember, “The hardest things in life are done the least but provide the most” – Greg Plitt
