  • “I won’t force another person to be in a circumstance in which I know they are uncomfortable in order to please me.” This is pure gold.

    The power of choice: 1. The choice of living with integrity. 2. The choice of not to passing my suffering but my wisdom. 3. The choice of taking risks. 4. The choice of using my words wisely 5. The choice of appreciating every single moment as unique.
  • I put this on while I was driving and my parents were listening to it. It changed their lives for ever. They’re not the same anymore. Thank you ❤
  • @esviivse
    I started replacing the phrase "I was bored so..." with "I was curious so..." and that shift of perspective changed my view and my conversations.

    Spoilers: It starts around 9:00. Here’s my own summary.... 1. Live with integrity - Liars don’t heal. People who deliberately says something to hurt others, people who blame others for their problems, etc won’t heal. Make the decision to live a life with integrity. 2. Don’t pass on your suffering, pass on the wisdom you learn - life will never be fair. Look at what happens to you and say that it will never defeat you. Turn into your source of wisdom. Don’t live in woe. Wisdom or woe. 3. The choice to take risks. Don’t wait for proof. Take risks. You will always hit the regret stage when you begin to weaken. How many of your greatest fears has actually happened? How many of the most wonderful things has happened to you?Don’t take the safe path. Don’t look backwards for guidance. Don’t look for over to chart new. 4. Choose new words - Words are powerful. Don’t use the words entitled, blame and deserve. 5. Choose to get up every single day and bless your day - not based on what you have or what you feel, just be grateful because you are. Everything that happens today in this exact way will not happen again. Be thankful for the day and present moment. PS: She’s amazing and I encourage watching the whole talk but hope this helps if you’re in a hurry or just want the gist as a reminder ♥️

    Ok. I have self diagnosed myself as addicted to this TED talk. I’ve watched it now 4 times in 24 hours. This woman is brilliant and nails exactly what we all need to do.

    14:28 Healing is not about forgetting. "It's about looking at what has happened to us and saying, 'This will never defeat me.' It will never defeat me, but I will not live in this."
  • Listening to this 10 times now, and still learning. Oh my oh my. Since the beginning of 2022, I decided to listen to this daily. How amazing it has been so far. It has really helped me in my choices daily.
  • @crystalgrose
    Do not pass on suffering, pass on wisdom. Choose wisdom or woe. This is awesome!

    The thought that there are over 4.7 million views of this Ted Talk give me hope that 4.7 people are walking the planet more enlightened. Love her way of telling the truth. And I love the prayer--nearly had me in tears.
  • @tedtalksrock
    This talk changed my life five years ago, no exaggeration. Looking back now, I’m still in awe. Amazing talk. Nothing else like it.
  • @robinemmons1071
    "Every word is a Universe unto itself." "Words contain Worlds." Powerful!
  • @user-yq8fc4we2o
    I always come back to this whenever I am down or up and wanna stay there
  • @doreenlane2370
    Love how she says that a person who lies doesn't heal. I believe this. You can't heal or recover from something that you pretend isn't a problem. God knows. Preach it!
  • um... pretty sure this Queen with her symbolic butterfly shirt spittin FIRE just changed my life.
  • @xinageco
    Thank you TEDx talks and Caroline Myss for this amazing talk I've listened to 2x this year already! My notes: 1. Live a life of integrity 2. Pass on wisdom [not suffering] 3. Choose to take risks [try something new; travel the road less travelled] 4. Choose new words + pick a word you'll never use again e.g. "blame, entitle, deserve" 5. Choose to get up every day and bless it
  • @susannnico
    Thanks for this amazing information !! If you don't find a means of multiplying money, you will wake up one day to realize that the money you thought you had, has finished. Investment is key, I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

    Ive watched dozens of ted talks. I liked some, i loved a few, and there are a couple i can literally say i have taken some advice from. But non of them went through me like this one. Im sitting at home in bed with a cold, feeling down and regretful for the life i could of had. And realizing all of the amazing things that happend to me, i had nothing to do with them. From beeing adopted as a baby, and having all i ever wanted in life. It was all done for me. And here i am sitting here feeling sorry for myself? Thank you. This was just in time. Ill be back here in a year from today to update. There are 1440 minutes in a day which means 1440 times we can choose to do it differently. bless all of you. We are alive. 27.12.2022
