National All Or Nothing Day

National All or Nothing Day is observed every year on July 26. The goal of this motivational holiday is to encourage people to take bold steps, embrace new opportunities, and give their all to something they care about—whether it’s sports, relationships, or career goals. Be brave, try something you’ve always wanted to do, and challenge your fears. Break routines, not laws.

History

If you believe that life is better when you give it your all, National All or Nothing Day is for you. The phrase “all or nothing,” found in the Cambridge Dictionary, refers to doing something completely or not doing it at all. Some people view this mindset as risky or extreme—but psychologists say this attitude often stems from fear of commitment and decision-making.

This holiday encourages people to take chances, step outside their comfort zones, and pursue what they truly want without hesitation.

Inspiring Facts

• Some of history’s greatest achievers took huge risks: Neil Armstrong went to the Moon, Bill Gates left Harvard, and Henry Ford priced his cars so low that it nearly bankrupted his company—but changed the world.
• Risk-taking requires self-trust, which is key to building resilience and confidence.
• Psychologists say risk-takers tend to live happier, more fulfilled lives—and may even live longer.
• Mark Zuckerberg once said, “The biggest risk is not taking any risk.”

How to Take Part

Try something bold that you’ve never done before. Go bungee jumping or visit a fear room to push your emotional boundaries. Say yes to something exciting, start a project you’ve postponed, or take the first step toward a long-held dream.
