"Today can either be a best day or a worst day for my life. It just depend on my perception". What a beautiful message!

"Man's immortality is not living forever, every moment free from fear is immortal." Very true, so spot on.

[Adalberto Ruiz]

I say one is a reflection of the other (1/2&1/2)

two ways to overcome fear: 1)Gratitude 2)Intention

[Edye H S]

This talk should be one of TED's most inspiring. Courageous, heart warming, moving and certainly inspiring. Thank you Robert.

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.

[Kenton dragon]

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.

[Zondaa]

Hey man, wanted to check in and ask if you still remember this message 3 months later and how life has worked out for you since this comment

What a great perspective towards fear. Beautifully explained. Abundance and gratitude play really important role in eliminating the fear. Thanks a ton Sir.

[Talha Tanveer]

In life, we don't get what we deserve, all the time. We get what we expect. ~ Robert Grant

[Paul Aiello]

He’s s good speaker and even better story teller. I have noticed and admired people throughout my life that just go for it with no fear. Have confidence in your ability to solve problems. He loved his daughter as much as I do mine. Good talk.

[Hong Trinh]

Bravo Robert. One of the best TedTalks I’ve watched. Incredibly inspiring, perceptive, insightful with admiration to noble minds. The taste of humor and amazement in his stories was very entertaining. 👏

[Abdullah Amir]

This is by far the best, simple, to the point and effective ted talk I have ever listened

[nate miller]

The movie “Invictus” directed by Clint Eastwood starring Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as the Captain of the South African rugby team is a great movie. That is where I first heard the poem this man recited. The movie tells a beautiful story about Mandela and his struggles and overcoming fear and being able to forgive and not give up and not losing hope.

[Tanny Chatlada]

Invictus, ok i will find this movie, thank you

[Sharon Gonzales]

What an INSPIRATIONAL story! I have allowed fear, worry, angst to control my life. Now, at age 59, I'm doing my best to face it so I can live the life of my dreams! Good/great things are happening! Want to stay strong! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[Upamanyu Hota]

Sharon Gonzales thats really great!! 😊

you're such a strong woman!

Great inspiring message and so well delivered..loved watching this video!

[Random Crap]

Brilliant speech, once i no longer fear of my self i go far that i’d never imagine. It is so true! Thank you so much for sharing.

[marisaande]

Fabulous presentation for all to be inspired! Well done Robert...and well done in life! So happy for your daughter Madeline, shes a lucky young lady to have a beautiful heartfelt loving Dad. How lucky you all are. Yes, be ever so grateful, you did it, you figured it out! Life is precious, and flying by....have no fear and you will Live it well.

[Lore M]

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.

[sarah hussam]

That's inspiring to read thank you❤

[Razia Sultana Siddiqui]

Beautiful talk and very important for seniors. We do not have to be afraid even of death, for that is bound to come, let us welcome it with a smile.

[Ras Leena]

It really resonates with me on his take on abundance mentality. It is a light bulb moment that we are also like the students that agree with type A scenario...

[Jefrey Malasarte]

Yes! I can overcome the fear with gratitude, I can overcome the fear with intentional choice. Big Thanks to you Sir Jim..

[TDMM NRDRK]

This speech was very inspiring. Thank you Robert Grant. I will not be victim of my fears either. I can choose to be grateful. And it is not really hard to do. A little bit may be ;)

[Maria Rosales]

Gracias por compartir, interesante información,desde hace 3 semanas unos colegas me intimidan,me cuestionan,me ponen en ridículo ante los demás,yo siempre voy con mente positiva,pero con tus consejos,vencere el miedo,los nervios y saldré adelante.gracias, gracias, gracias.

[Finn thinkin]

Implementation of any plans in life and staying on the course of the plan will pretty much determine any expectations is what he is saying. And it's so true. Another aspect of it is acting upon our dreams with the right intention, sequence, perseverance, and no faer, rather than just dreaming alone draws 80-100 % every expectation towards our hands.

[Lars Bergen]

Brilliant minds. Inspiring talk and delivery, can watch again and again...

[Lungile Mashile]

This is great ..the courage to ask your boss for anything ..always create an environment that is free and easy.

[Marangelli Ramos]

Thank you Robert Grant! Excellent speech! ❤️

[Levi Okumu]

To the point and very encouraging. Kudos !!

[Benedetta]

Life happens to us everyday but we decide what we will do with it. We are the master of our fate. Thank you for sharing such precious advices.

[Aleksandra Doncheva]

He is a really good speaker! The diction and intonation is book perfect.

[ThePizzageek]

but he recited the poem too fast

[Magdalena W]

That is exactly why I don't believe him entirely ;)

[Caterina Rufina]

Thank you Robert for sharing your own personal experience. It made me realize about my own self. I loved it. Love Caterina x

[Medeea Haruki]

What a powerful and life changing speech !

[Joey Anderson]

Who's the when it comes to mental strength

[Betty Goncalves]

👏👏👏!! Couldn’t agree with you more !!! Thank you 🙏 for your wise words !!

[Kanan Jafarov]

Great speech. In reality though it is always easy to follow your dreams and accomplish them in a way as you want them to be.

[DT Jackson]

Exactly. Anxiety always involves things that are going to happen at some time other than now. If you can completely stop yourself from thinking about a time other than now, you will be unable to feel fear, and you will experience eternity in a moment.

[Spoony Quine]

After a life of fear and terror and torture, I must say that fear is the mind-killer...

[Matheo Galatis - Know Yourself]

Beautiful message Robert.

[Tanny Chatlada]

Thank you, its nothing to fear. We are the Master of our Fate., 💗 Love this speech.

[Justyna a]

Amazing and inspiring talk! Such a please to listen. Thank you

[LoveMe,com]

I agree for this video. It's an inspirational story.

[Philippa White]

Fabulous content, great delivery, thank you to a real star.

[Lim Rosemary]

indeed.. The Creator has not given his masterpieces fear or timidity but love , power and a sound mind

[I]

Fear and cruelty is the norm in this world. China, africa, middle east... It's just western world is so advaned so it became the norm.

[Ricardo Polycarpe]

Superb & Inspiring speech, thank you Robert !

[Katherine Kelly]

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.

[BriannaB]

Katherine, very very well said! 👍

[Leo Ki]

Thank you, reasonable and sensible.

[Sexy Beast]

"free from fear" doesnt mean fearless, but that other thing you've phrased... if he meant fearless he would have said fearless. Anyhow, it seems you get the overall point.

[ruxoox]

There's a difference between fear and danger

[Daughters of Orion]

YES. I remember reading a study of the top reasons for people with GAD and panic attack disorder having panic attacks... the top reason was fear of having a panic attack!!

[I am CA.]

I don't want to live my life in fear.From now onwards, Goodby fear. Thank you for the speech, it's so wonderful. I make gratitude my part of life. And intentionally choose what I can do now, instead of worrying. This life is so beautiful. Don't waste it by doing silly timepass and worrying. So I promise myself, i don't allow fear to takeover me.

[Life support]

great speech ! although I don't agree with saying : you get what you expect, but I really do believe that my own perception would change my reality !

[Wild Em The Fem]

Great TED! Super inspiring!!!

[negash mohammed]

Very inspiring speech, thank you 🙏. When I listen to such people I understand the holy Quran more than when listening to the explanation of the Moslem scholars. Because when God sent Adam and ave down to earth , he told them , “ those who follow my guidance, should have no fear or sadness “. This is what we neeed on earth to live happy,: no fear about the future and no regret or remorse about the past, by being thankful and living now.

[Ben Bry]

The most inspirational and uplifting piece of art I have ever seen

That is a powerful speech and an even more powerful poem recited. Thanks for the video. I wrote that poem down to have as a resource to look at in hard times.

[Nahid Syyed]

Very motivating indeed!

[Laura Richardson]

Wow I give it up to this man making it to the birth of his daughter! That's was so sweet.

[Ida Parwati]

This one is sooo good. Thank you Mr Robert

[Gert Braakman]

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. Some fear has a function and its wise to distinguish between justified and unjustified fear. But most fear the latter.. I would love to have seen a transcription of the poem he recites in the end.

[Dylan Kron]

Invictus by William Ernest Henley, same name as the movie about Nelson Mandela.

[lucky adeloye]

I do not watch Ted talk based on recommendation and number of views but title of the talk.

[getmajor]

Use fear to your advatange never take it for granted

[Miss Cata 11.]

Wow! That was an amazing speech I felt very identify ! Thank u for share this kind of topic with us

[Amir3point]

Geart speech. I just wrote down that quote from Alexander The Great quickly after you said that. Now it's on one of my room's walls. I'll read it every day from today to learn the ability to face my fears. Thank you.

[Good Vibes Only]

Great speech! This video deserves more views!

[Changing Times Music]

I really like this talk. BTW- at 8:20 it should be “Vice versa” 😉 I had a similar experience on a flight to Lincoln NE for my wife’s graduation for her Ph.D I had to leave a really stressful negotiation with our district’s bargaining team last second-I honestly thought we were going to crash, but we made it. I got off the plane and found I had perspired THROUGH my entire suit. 🥵

[Not Again]

^o^ this deserves more views , full of ideas worth sharing ... I imagined the flight to Australia because you described it in a way full of details and that was great

[Cecilia MacLean]

This is a profoundly revealing talk. I am able today to see how I sabotaged myself in the past due to fear.

[sanjeev singh]

very true atleast in hindsight we can say that our fear was wrong

[Rc Loyd]

[Shweta Bajaj]

honestly, one of the best talks ever. what a legend. thank you sir.

[Patricia Offer]

YT hides my notifications. I see many "sirs" on Twitter and in comments sections. Never do I see a "ma'am", unless it's in sarcasm.

[TUGLIFE]

@Patricia Offer Become that unsarcastic ma'am! You are right and I am cheering for you, Patricia.

[fksh]

It is inspirational! I am impressed!

[Consuelo Gabela]

very inspiring talk, fear is opposite to love, is the absence of love!

[Hot chocolate brownie]

This was lovely ❤️

[PK Explorers Podcast]

This words came to me a the right time: the lowest time of my life but now I have just realized that I am the master of my fate.

[Focused]

Fear just means you have a great imagination ✨

[Ashley Daniels]

Great inspiring talk.

[Emily Dickinson - songs project]

touching story, and very encouraging, my only doubt is if everyone did so the world would be better? how many private planes would carry husbands of parturants around? unfortunately the speech does not concern equality for everyone, but only for those who succeed, in this way it works. Certainly it is good to push the best, and the point of not being afraid is the highest and praiseworthy, because having it is just a mistake cultivated badly in the psyche, and can only do harm to themselves and to others, especially useless, it seems as if the legacy of fear that saves the prehistoric man from the beasts, returns transmuted but with unscathed strength in fragmented anxieties for things that basically do not kill us, but they are experienced as if the wolves were at our door. how the world works is another story. Thanks!

[Camila Jjello]

U cant imagine how helpful ur speech is. Feel blessed to watched this! Thank u!

[Joey Anderson]

Any others u would recommend

What we believe is what we will receive. Our thoughts create our reality.

“Its impossible to be fearful and grateful at the same time.”

[Jim Connolly]

What about having a child

[Jim Connolly]

What about being fearful of being shot in a conflict but grateful your with people on your side

[Sophie]

I don't think it is impossible. You can practice gratitude and struggle with fear at the same time.🌝

[RoyDaBoom]

@Sophie I agree but I think he means in the particular moment
