Connect to Your Passion By Paying Attention to the Whisper | Adriana Girdler | TEDxHickory

Do you know someone living their life's passion? Their happiness is inspiring. Want to live your life with purpose? Yet finding it can be tricky. In this fun and personal talk, Adriana shares her story of moving from feeling stuck to finding her purpose by paying attention to the whisper. Our purpose ignites our passion and drives us to get to the next level in life. This TEDx talk is about how to get to what’s next in our life and implementing steps to get there (via personal vision statements). We’re here to learn and grow, and this talk on connecting with our passion is a great tool.
In this TEDx talk, Adriana reveals:
• How to tap into your deep-seated goals and dreams you aspire to in life.
• How visioning can turn your internal no’s to a vibrant yes.
• How to draw or use photos to quickly and effectively create a motivating personal vision statement.
• How Adriana manifested her own personal desires into a new, unexpected, venture.
• Why visioning is a powerful tool to connect to your passion.

i truly believe every single person has a purpose on this earth.

[@Borboleta1212]

That’s beautiful ❤️❤️I hope you’re right because I’m 32 and a half and still don’t really know what mine is!

[@jakeportolese4031]

@@Borboleta1212 just keep listening to the whisper of your heart.

[@MarcoSanderCoaching]

The punchline of life is how you feel about yourself when you're by yourself!!

[@cherylcann9654]

I am so grateful for Adriana. The visual vision we created for our team was fantastic...something we all lived for real. The theme song we created to go along with it was out of this world...people who never thought they could do it (sing, play, create a song) took a huge leap of faith, believed in our vision so much that we all created something we are so proud of.

[@adrianagirdler8069]

That is the power of vision. Bringing people together to inspire and live the vision everyday. It was an honour to guide your team on this journey. Perhaps we can do this for your new team???

[@maureenkelly1176]

Great reminder to live my purpose & passion everyday rather than let life simply happen. Agreed!!! Thank you.

[@adrianagirdler8069]

You are the captain of your own ship....life is yours to direct! Thank you for watching.

[@felixnatercsc3653]

Adriana, you rock! The Talk was all about who you are passionate & compelling. Your talk reminded me how important it is to stay connected with our inner selves. Well done!

[@adrianagirdler8069]

Thank you Felix. Imagine a world of people connected with their inner selves and actually saying yes to living a life a purpose (respectfully). What a world it would be.....

[@arlinegeorge6967]

So true. Adrianna life is happening while we are busy dreaming. Amazing impressive inspiring soul. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.

[@insulation-emily]

Inspiring talk. Passion, mission, vision very important to everyone.

[@walkertime1]

We all need to 'listen to the whisper' more. Loved this!

[@franklevey9237]

Such an inspiring and practical talk! Adrianna's insights into what is needed and useful in order for us to live life to its fullest, to get clear on our purpose, and how to manifest our visions, is, in its simplicity, profoundly powerful. Thank you, Adrianna!

[@adrianagirdler8069]

Thank you Frank for your kind words. We all need a personal compass in life to ensure the white noise of life doesn't take over.

[@AnilKuluArjunKabir]

What a beautiful, powerful, and inspiring presentation. So much of our life's purpose will be simply lost without slowing down to listen to that whisper trapped in our heart. Thanks for sharing!

[@adrianagirdler8069]

Thank you for watching. Talking a moment to listen to the whisper and following through can lead to amazing things.

[@ramsharma6163]

Vision with action can change the world !

[@nvredy]

Through this talk you can certainly see you are connected to your purpose and following you passion. Well done. Chris

[@adrianagirdler8069]

Thank you Chris for your kind words. That is what life is all about!

[@jamesazim9404]

An excellent reminder of the importance of really thinking in a way that keeps us conscious of whats important, with some very practical and tangible strategies!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Hi James...thank you for your kind words. A visual vision is a power tool to keep us connected to what is important. What is important to you? and do you have a vision?

[@dianehill4019]

Wow, your words hit me in the bulls eye. In the heart. Thank you for exploring yourself enough to share the gold mine you discovered 😍

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Diane Miller thank you for your kind words

[@Tagukon]

This is a good improvement to Stephen Covey's Personal Mission Statement. My decisions have always been based on my mission statement since 2011. It makes me to decide quickly to anything in front of me.

[@michellem3510]

So super! Very motivating to really dig deep and make change. Well done.

[@CSDAdmin385]

Great job, Adriana! What a fabulous tool you're sharing to help us live our passion.

[@MichaelAlexander1967]

Hey Adriana! I also music also "floats my boat" - both clarinet and piano here. Also, my mom's 2nd husband, my sfep Dad is from Hickory. When I was an Assistant Manager at Kinnney shoes, I worked in the Boone store to cover for the store manager - for some reason, I think it's close to Hickory. Well, I got my MS degree in Organizational Leadership, Project Management Specialization April 2021, and I currently seeking prohect management opportunities in the DC area. Thank you so much for your leadership and KZbin videos. They're incredibly inspiring. 👏👏👏👍

In this time, the question always run around my mind is "who am I"

[@sisulfahanwar120]

Hi miss thanks for sharing. Your talk is amazing and so much information. One think you can improve in future, is your outfit. Make it looks more sophisticated. Honest review.

And theres Asian kid like Ryan higa who can create songs in just a jiff like it was no big deal, when what u do can be done by others easily who is younger and everything.. How would u feel, do u feel like the dream is not that hard after all?

[@edwardseverinsen5598]

All these TEDTalks are starting to blend together. Same tactics, same dramatic pauses, same open hands, same tone and inflection, same, same, same.

[@oliamoliakorea4218]

I disagree with her...by being busy you can also explore things that you are probably good at. do not always follow your passion.

[@adrianagirdler8069]

Thanks for your comment. That is the beauty of choice. We all have it and we can decide what is right for us. All the best on your journey in life.

[@William14094]

It’s not about find some things you’re good at. It’s about finding you’re ultimate purpose driven life. You seem disconnected from what that is based on your comment.
