Greg Plitt – You Live as Long as you are Remembered

“You live as long as you are remembered.” Greg Plitt

Life is finite, but your legacy endures. You get one shot, one life, so make it count. Chase your goals relentlessly until you reach your finish line and claim your victory.

Along the way, you will face failure. That’s inevitable. But failure is not the end it is part of the process. The key is to keep going. Winners and losers both stumble, but the difference is that winners rise, again and again.

Success is not achieved overnight. It is built step by step.
Your potential is already within you, stop running from it.
Believe in yourself now so that others will remember you later.
Put in the work today so you never have to live with the regret of “what if.”
Do not live by the clock, live by your desire to go somewhere meaningful.

“You only live once—but if you live it right, once is enough.”

Greg Plitt was a powerful example of living life to the fullest. A former Army Ranger, fitness model, actor, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker, Greg appeared on the cover of more than 250 fitness magazines. He inspired millions through his teachings on motivation, nutrition, wellness, and the vital connection between the mind and body.

Greg brought his energy to the screen too, starring in over 25 commercials and working alongside Hollywood legends like Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, and Christian Bale.

Greg’s many talents included:

  • Retired U.S. Army Ranger and Company Commander

  • Certified in Airborne Combat, Air Assault, Mortar Leaders Course, Master Fitness Trainer, and Weapons Expert

  • Combat Lifesaver

  • All-American High School Wrestler

  • Member of the West Point Skydiving Team over 700 jumps

  • Furniture maker

  • Landscaping business owner

  • Guitarist

  • Golf Club Champion

  • Certified Scuba Diver

  • Skilled in horse riding, football, boxing, volleyball, baseball, rock climbing, water sports, and stunt work

Tragically, Greg passed away at age 37 during a video shoot on train tracks. Despite the train conductor’s warning, Greg did not leave the tracks in time and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Though his life was short, Greg lived more fully than most ever will. He chose service, inspiration, and action and he will be remembered not just for what he achieved, but for the lives he touched.
