The timeliness of finding this is phenomenal. I just had this conversation with my 86-year-old aunt, a very wise woman. She said, Lanie she calls me, don't forget to pick the apples while you still have the energy to do so,she said. She said this when I talked about how much I enjoy working part-time instead of full-time. Her intention was to make sure that I have what I need for my future many years hence. But I knew what Shonda knows: the fact that I play a little bit more enables me to love work more, be more, be a great mother- And most importantly the woman that I want to be and share with the world. Thank you Evan, thank you Shonda!

[@EvanCarmichael]

Great to know it came at the right time for you and you love what you do Lanie. :) More power to you! #Believe #BTA461 Shine

[@peter-jonsemoy3704]

I love the idea of finding that Hum that Ms. Rhimes spoke about. I struggle with believing in myself and finding my niche, my passion, the thing that will keep me going, but I won't give up. I will push myself to find out, To never give in when facing a difficult situation but to Try, Try and Try again. Thank you for this!

[@DonnyNoMarie]

"I struggle with believing in myself and finding my niche" You don't have to find your niche. You are your niche. Just be yourself. There's no one else like you.

[@Judymontel]

Number 3. You don't do it all. It's an illusion... Good for her for being honest!! And that - making mistakes, falling and failing equals living.

[@forgentlemen1st]

This woman is truly awesome. I don't watch television, so I never heard of her before now. Despite that, still I notice the creativity of the Shonaland creator. She is alive with character. I think she would excel as a stage actress. Wow, I mean, wow. I'm really blown away, and she's not even acting right now, she's simply giving a public speech. Yet, it's as if she's in character. Look at the audience. They are spellbound, hanging on to each word released from her colorful lips. She definitely has taken possession of what belongs to her like a BOSS. Bravo! "Says yes to what scares you".

[@EvanCarmichael]

[@SharonLeeZapata]

Thank you, Evan Carmichael for creating this! It made me cry a little... I don't cry very often. As a business woman, writer, blogger, mom, wife, and philanthropist in my community... I can relate to her saying, " ..When I am successful in one part of my life... I am being a failure in another part of my life." I have learned that no matter what I do... I always feel guilty... guilty for taking the yoga class instead of being at my kid's school project. ...Even though the yoga is what keeps me healthy and sane... Keep shining Evan... looking forward to more of your creativity.

[@EvanCarmichael]

Thanks for sharing your feelings Sharon. Glad you can relate to it. Yes...I guess mothers will always feel that way but as also said by Jada Pinkett Smith (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ67nGWnorOFjZI) it's also important to focus on YOU since when you are happy...your family will be happy as well. :) Always #Believe in yourself. Much love. #BTA343 Shine

[@mattofthe7pathes]

"if I am being successful in one part of my life, I am almost absolutely failing in another." that hit me hard! It's nice to know that we can't do it all. To do one thing is to give up another, but there is a balance. Shonda seems to have that balance and her kids will be better for it. I have more respect for her, not just because she wrote my favorite TV drama of all time, "Grey's Anatomy," but also as a person and model of success. thanks for posting this man!

Thank you for this Evan. I was in tears listening to this. This was so relative to my life when my children were little. Shonda gives me such inspiration. #8 Own who you are...My favorite. You have to be truthful to yourself and accept YOU for who YOU ARE. That doesn't mean that you don't need improvement; it just means that you have to start right where you are and then grow from there.

[@claudiamoss7670]

This video is my sacred meditation for this morning. All of what Shonda says resonates with me. I love doing my “passion” work, which entails planning and filming KZbin videos of the multitudinous things that bring me joy. I stopped writing, the reason for which I will discuss in a coming video. In short, I, too, adore my “passion’s work.” Number One pauses me, straightens my back. It reminds me that I don’t like showing up for the other jobs that take me away from my passions. I don’t enjoy “playing” if it takes me away from my passion for too long. This video and Shonda’s other talks on KZbin return me to myself and gently instruct me to listen, open to life’s simple pleasures and love more. Don’t begrudge the other jobs, for they are a part of my journey. Thank you, Evan, for this video, which I have gift wrapped and zapped to my network!

For my journey, the most inspiring things that she said is "I have a global brain." My brain works that same way and I am constantly told that I can''t fix the whole world, yet to me, everything is connected. What I do affects everything else. So, I always look to see the chain reaction of all I do and say. Thank you Shonda for finally letting me know that I am no just crazy!

Trying to be that perfect person to everyone all the time. I know now that you cant and u will mess up in one area and it's ok. Dont be so hard on urself.

I have decided Iam going to do these webinars no matter what, because I must conquer this 5 minutes of fear. Therefore this is my favorite.

#1 and #3 are great tips. As mention by Ms. Cruz in comment section, I like what Shonda stated and I am paraphasing 'when I am succeeding in one part of my life, I am failing in another part of my life.' In life you must sacrifice something to get something. You cannot do everything and have everything. That is life and once you understands this, you do not have to beat yourself up about missing out.

I love Shonda! She is so brilliant! The last rule.. I understand it, I am a workaholic, programmer in other people's eyes.

I am a very passionate person, I love that thrill or 'hum' when I solve something that was bugging me for 2 whole days, I feel powerful! But sometimes I do get stuck and I lose that drive, and it is because I always forget to play... Thank you Shonda for the speech! I will make up my law for playing :)

‘’If anyone tells you they do it all perfectly, they are a liar” As a mother of a special needs child and her equally special sibling, senior military wife, entrepreneur, teacher of women, volunteer, non profit organizer, baker, and a woman with needs that were not being met- I fail at so many areas so often. I am glad I am not alone because I don’t feel so guilty now.
