This stuff is just so amazing! I found your channel shortly after I started my running career about six months ago. I was 35 lbs over weight, a hopeless alcoholic and ready to just give up. I'm now 6 months sober, I've lost 30lbs and ran my first half marathon in August with a 1:51 time and am pumped to run my next one with a goal of sub 1:40 here in 10 days. Your content continues to motivate and inspire me. Please keep it up.

I've lost count of how many times I've seen this video. I can tell you that each and every time, this video offers the inspiration, motivation, and hope one may need.

Wow Billy!!! I am always moved by your work. I've been a runner for 36 years and truly love the sport. Your work always seems to capture and express what the true meaning of all this really is. From one runner to another Thank You!!!

6yrs on and this still stops me in my tracks. Thank you Billy

After watching and listening: Quiet introspection; whisper-soft slow clapping; profound appreciation; and, finally, deep cleansing, quivering breath and exhalation. Thanks so much to you, Billy Yang, and to the many inspirational characters in your film, and so many others, too.

This is awesome man. As a videographer the most beautiful and precious thing that can happen is to have those who watch be moved by your message. You sir, did just that. As some random 19 year old kid that hopes to get the most out of life, id like to say thank you for this.

Billy, I am a 50 year old runner from best East in Philly. Currently I am sporting a broken sesamoid bone in my foot and out for a few months. Tough times as you know. I have been running for a few years, building up my mileage, marathon count and love for all the things you share in this and other videos. Not sure of a 100 miler will ever be on my horizons, but watching the way you share your love of our sport makes me want to try to go longer and see how this old body can handle it. Thanks from all of us who watch from distance lands and take inspiration from your work.

You are an incredible filmmaker Billy Yang, an asset to our great sport, our broad community. But way beyond that, you are (truly) an asset to humankind. That barely 9min of story telling touched me like no 2-3hr Hollywood production ever has, just beautiful, deep, and honest. I bet there are so many people in your life that you've made proud, but I hope more than anything you are proud of yourself, you are doing it right. Thanks for sharing this and all your previous work as well. -Will G.

What a phenomenal story-teller as well as a filmmaker! We are blessed you find the inspiration among us. Well done, Billy.

This pandemic really made me realise what he's saying in the video. Good people good experiences. That's all we need.

Billy, this recap film truly summarizes why your films are so special. To watch and experience a Billy Yang film is to feel a deep connection with its cast of characters. I enjoyed the hell out of each of your releases in '15, and I'm eager to see what's next. Keep up the good work.

Dammit Billy, you made me cry! Thanks for the inspiration and if ever you or anyone near to you is in HK - you have a local guide. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing your adventures the all the others you document. Look forward to seeing what 2016 brings for you. Keep up the great work!

This is the first “motivational” film I have seen that has moved me and motivated me. I will watch this again

I watch this on NYD each year and think at 63 how far can I run this year. Thanks Billy.

This is so powerful. Vid might be old but I hope stuff like this keeps coming from your channel (it has been!)

When I first watched Western Time I was impressed with your filmmaking, and storytelling. With each film since I have been entertained and inspired, and drawn into the stories you tell through film. While your other films have been focused on running, they are still entertaining for non-runners. This I will share with my daughters, my wife, my friends, and anyone else I can get to watch, runners or non-runners. You are a wonderful filmmaker, but you are becoming a phenomenal storyteller. This is one I will come back to often in the coming year as a reminder to lead an inspiring life. Thank you for this. Thank you for exposing me to Mary Oliver, and thank you for sharing your art with all of us.

Another New year, another view. Billy, please re-start this New Years series so wonderful 🙏

Billy, if you set out to inspire, motivate, encourage, and enrich people through that video you have succeeded.... thanx Ken

A couple years late, but WOW! Amazing! Thank you for sharing your gift with the rest of us.

Life is for deep kisses wild strange adventures & rambling conversations. Your flawless filmaking captures precious fleeting moments.

Really love it when people just lay their inner self out there for all to see, some people will not like it but it takes guts to to be true and develop work that is a reflection of you you are, nice work BY and look forward to more films this year.

Awesome, Billy. That film has got me thinking about how I really want to live. Thank you so much for making it.

Billy I appreciate everything you do for this community. Please take care of yourself and your friends this year and ongoing. If i could shake your hand I most definitely would. Have a great year.

Every film you've made has inspired me in some way or another. Truly a great representative of our sport, bringing the beauty of it through images and words and expressing what really matters the most so clearly. I can't get enough of your films. Please keep them coming!

What a great message Billy, brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you Billy for sharing your beautiful, inspiring film. I confess it brought tears to my eyes.

So blessed to have came across this Billy. Thank you for your long hours and creativity to put this together for viewers like myself to be inspired to life this year right. Thank you

Had to wipe my eye on that one. Inspirational and a very moving end. Thanks.

I'm loving your work, and the people you're filming. It's emotional and inspiring. Each film I watch (and I'm working my way through them), reinforces the fact that I need to run an Ultra, I need to push myself beyond what I think I can do, and prove to myself that I'm more than what I've accepted to bee my limits

Touching again ,a footage meaningful good sound and editing can't wait to see more Billy Yang Films

Loved this! You really know how to capture the human spirit! Thank you so much for sharing - I love Mary Oliver too. Thank you!

Really really wonderful Billy. Very touching, moving and powerful. I hope at some point you find a venue for broader exposure to your work. Peace and health and happiness to you
