Watching things like this inspires me to fulfill my decision (based on clarity) to live out my passion - volunteer abroad. Big goals and dreams seem more attainable when spoken of confidently. For example:
"I will volunteer abroad" is more powerful than "I want to volunteer abroad".
This is a form of an affirmation that, when repeatedly spoken out loud, will seem more realistic and attainable. Even though it is not set in stone, I speak of this expedition as if it is undoubtedly going to happen. Other affirmations could come in visual forms (e.g. I have a picture of Africa as my computer background, I watch Africa specials on the Discovery Channel, I introduce myself to the culture through videos on YouTube, etc.).
Whatever your dream or goals, affirmations help to keep them a priority in your present life to make them reality in your future.
Have you ever read the book, "It's Not Okay With Me"? It's about a ex-marketing director's life changing experience with an African mission trip! It's a great read, let me know if you're interested and I can get you a copy!
