Beautiful minds are free from fear: Robert Grant at TEDxOrangeCoast

[@artistevivien]

I wish I’d watched this TED talk earlier, I feel like I’ve heard the same message hundreds of times but this really resonated with me. I’ve always been a naturally anxious person, but feeling gratitude is a great thing to do on a daily basis, it’s basically a practice to keep yourself grounded.

[@KingaGorski]

Perspective really is everything, gratitude is a superpower, and we do indeed get what we expect out of life. *Change your beliefs* -> *Change your lens* -> *Change your reality* 💫

[@spinnettdesigns]

I live this way and I have overcome things that most humans could not survive, and over a span of 15 years, I have had 4 separate Doctors tell me so. Gratefulness as well as graciousness are life savers. I didn't realize it but I'm a person who will not give up nor give in because it makes no sense for me to do so. My sister once called me a "scrapper" but that's not the case. It's more of a moving forward. I love the quote from the Patsy Cline story (Sweet Dreams) "Somebody's gotta be happy, it might as well be me..." That gave me a strange sort of courage because it reminded me that happiness is a God given right and so that also includes me. So all of the abuses that I had suffered needed and answer and it was not to quit, but to thrive. The credit goes to the creator who's love showers all humans if they would just look up...and be grateful.

you cant be "grateful" if you arent aware of how to program your reality experience by controlling your emotions, you will instead be trapped in a perceptual loop of seeing reality as a pain-avoidance survival challenge.

Top speech. It really does takes seconds to change your mind/life. And if you really do move with purpose you can pretty much achieve anything. And if you fail you fail, learn, get up and go do. Fear? What's that? I remember months ago when we were in lockdown, sick, losing loved ones, losing incomes, losing businesses and houses...and now I have to be scared of life throwing anything else at me?🤣 I promised myself if I get through that, I'll never take anything for granted, work harder and smarter never to be in any sh!tty position again.

Perhaps not free from fear but free from the fear of fear. I think there is value in fear. It can be useful and there are reasons we have the ability to feel fear. Fear is not necessarily the enemy but your relationship to it can make fear into an enemy.

Be intentional with our decisions/choices.

Strange that there are so few responses to this excellent talk. Fear is indeed one of the most crippling emotions there is, and overcoming fear the most valuable asset you can develop.

Robert Grant gave a very inspiring and poignant lecture. Robert Grant seems to have remained humble in spite of his tremendous success in life.
