How to believe in yourself: Jim Cathcart at TEDxDelrayBeach

[@The_Official_Jim_Cathcart]

October 12, 2014 it has been almost a year (5 days from now) since this video was posted on KZbin. I did the speech in May of 2013 but the video wasn't posted till 5 months later. Now here we are almost exactly ONE YEAR after posting and YOU have made this a 100,000 views video! What a gift you've given me. Thank you so very much. I will continue to create messages that you can share and benefit from. Please let me know anytime you think of a way I can be helpful to you. In the Spirit of Growth, Jim Cathcart

[@mankul65]

Today, 12/29/2014 - you hit 153,000 + views. Obviously, you gave a great talk.

[@Nicodemosfreitas]

Your viseo changed my life I must say. I become every day a better version of myself. Thanks for your speech. Some people are ignorant and only criticise. But this video is great.

[@JimCathcartvideos]

Carlos Vasconcelos Carlos, your words have touched me. Thank you so much for sharing your comments here. I really appreciate your feedback. Jim www.Cathcart.com

[@sonjaburkett6096]

I live in Little Rock and you have inspired me. It is not too late for me.

[@JimCathcartvideos]

Sonja Burkett Hi Sonja, I still love Little Rock! Tons of happy memories. Glad you liked the message. Follow my Blog on Cathcart.com and I'll keep the ideas flowing. Go Hogs!

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself...

[@eggheadeinstein]

brian kelly You can't work on something you haven't found however. Millions of people go to jobs everyday that prove that. If they re-found who they are they'd all quit by 10am tommorrow morning.

[@googleone9209]

brian kelly well said! and as CS Lewis advocated: its best to forget oneself all together and focus on doing good works

[@jeffpark4136]

+brian kelly i think its both. i think finding yourself is creating yourself

[@dodec8449]

+brian kelly that sounds a bit like faking it actually

[@bhangraburhan1215]

yes but to create yourself you need to know where to start

[@huangruhu9633]

ask yourself everyday: "How would the person I'd like to be, do the things I am about to do?" thank you very much.

[@MissJudith2019]

“How would the person i like to be, do the things im about to do” 💭💯

[@jayc8805]

im 25, and ive been changing my behaviors for a good time now, and i can relate to this. Staying positive, thinking ahead, studying more and enjoying my days more and more as time goes by, has really changed parts of my life, i mean im not rich, but im in good health, going through college, raising a 4 yr old and living on my own.. im believing in myself. just gotta work that extra hour, that extra effort and we can all make it :)

[@chrishandsome4267]

How’s it going now?

With all this wonderful support for the video I wish I had put even more preparation into it. I wouldn't change what is there but I'd love to do it again and make it even better. Thank you to everyone who has pushed this past one and one quarter million views.

Thank you Sir, I believe in what you expressed and I'm working on myself.!!

[@ramon3300]

I'm inspired by your speech. It's a shame this is not taught in school at any level.

[@ramon3300]

Thank you for such an amazing message. I continue to watch this video to learn more and remind myself that we can help others while we grow.

[@BCTification]

1.5 million today! Thank you Jim!

[@cassie.1012-k2z]

in just 10 months later thank you self ive no longer a introvert who always in behind in shadows, im being a confident and believe in myself 💙💜

[@annettehansen6047]

I used to have such a major self esteem problem and felt worthless to the point where I didn't take care of myself or respect myself. I self destructed by turning to alcohol and drugs. I got sober in recovery because of the problems of my addiction. I had therapy and treatment and they had us do positive affirmations. It helps having others tell you and show you your good qualities and that we make mistakes because we're human and thought it was best at the time (not condoning or justifying). They would give loving criticism and encourage me. This really built my self esteem. I took better care of myself and cared about myself, respected myself, and treated myself good. It gave me confidence and faith knowing these things and I knew how to be successful and live a better life. Millions of people can testify how it helped them.

[@adventurecoalition3690]

“Respect and Know your nature” simple and inspiring Ted Talk, thank you

[@samanthal.o.6800]

This resonates with me! "Nurture your nature, you are valuable."

[@samanthal.o.6800]

"How would the person I'd like to be, do the things I am about to do?" This strikes!

[@SlhKyt]

life is difficult, it is very difficult to hold on to life without support. You are the best support in this matter.

[@norwinivanvillarmil2025]

"How would the person I want to be do the things I'm about to do?" Another inspirational TED talk I've watched here in KZbin

“Nurture your nature” ❤️🙏🏻💫 Wow, that truly hit me just now.

[@mangomosaics]

Inspirational! "Nurture your Nature" Jim Cathcart's talk resonates with my life. I'm an artist of 30 years experience and in 2012 I focused on the art form that really gave me the most joy. Since focusing on just Mosaic, within 5 years I was seen as an expert in my field globally. What Jim says is true. Friends, follow your heart, soul and gut! ❤

I have watched and shared this soooo many times. It inspired me to give up Netflix and read instead. I can tell you now the difference in my confidence and knowledge within 6 months has felt amazing. Thank you Jim for all you have done for me!!

[@prashant4129]

Brilliant!👍 One of my favourite ted talks till date. "We are not biological coincidences." Absolutely right! When you meditate you know this. And this is the only way to know, No science and No religion can prove it. Only you are the one who has to find it out. Experience is the only proof. Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, Mohammad, Moses, Lao Tsu and many others have realized. Now it is time for you. Put your attention inside and move within your deeper realm, it is always there and only need your attention to realize who you really are. Meditate!😇

[@MayaKathayat]

Brilliant man

[@Nickdude6]

Love the simplicity of this. Packs an inspirational punch.

I thank you Jim Cathcart for motivating my daughter when thing went really had for her. It was really so bad that she attempted committing murder until you invited Mrs Lyra Holt Dean for your TED show program. Am really so grateful for her finical assistance in my daughters life thank you so much once again.

[@Andrewjames319]

I see please do you mind if i know how this woman helped you cause i have been hearing people testifying i really want to know who this Mrs Lyra Holt Dean is. I even searched her name on goggle she was all over but i want to confirm if she can help me too.

[@joycemeyerministries7669]

@@Andrewjames319 i figured out Mrs Lyra Holt From a TED show hosted by Jim Cathcart . He invited this particular woman and she introduced this fabulous type strategy for making money. It looked like a scam until we took the risk and tired it out and it worked

Life has been crazy since the pandemic and society has taken a shift. Definitely felt forced to change myself, just to realize that I was perfectly fine as I was. And now I’m at square 1 with discarding the post pandemic beliefs that I picked up.

[@seeellbee2023]

I could listen to Jim all day. Everything he says resonates. Thank you.

[@Engreji]

It has changed my life and I listen to this video every now and then.

[@tiffanysanya1349]

I love this. 'Intentionally created' is the resounding phrase that I am holding on to. There comes a time in life when we question our existence, reach a point of despair due to our circumstances and even wallow in depression. But to appreciate that we are not a result of coincidences but rather strategically placed on this planet at this moment in time is how we can find the confidence to express all that we are!

[@iroh4775]

While it is always best to believe in oneself, a little help from others can be a great blessing.

[@JimCathcartvideos]

Indeed.

[@diannahoney4240]

I actually naturally started telling myself that bc I get so scared to do stuff but I was like "what would my future self do" because I realized we don't magically become who we want to be. We have to work and take small steps each day until we become who we want to be.

[@iuliag.2078]

I read somewhere that the price you pay for anything is the amount of time given in exchange. I must say that these were some of the best invested minutes in my life! Thank you!

[@lalithasss]

Hello Jim, I have been listening to TED Talks for some years. I wish I had come across your talk few years before :) thank you for the amazing talk.

[@psychonthebike-thrive5759]

Jim, you are amazing! Thank you for being my mentor.

[@makaylabest2566]

You know who you are. Think like the person you intend to become. How would the person I like to be. Past in you, legacy, your cap and your potential. What seed is in you. Discover yourself. Respect yourself and nature. Intentionally created. Do the best you can for the next. 1. respect nature 2. know yourself, how are you smart, values and drive that you naturally and past affects. continue to learn yourself so you can be the best you can be 3. nurture or nature

[@JimCathcartvideos]

Thank you world for viewing this video so much! At the current rate of about 2,000 views a day this is really on a roll. I appreciate the opportunity to share my ideas with you. PS to those who feel threatened/offended by the concept of believing in a benevolent Creator: many of the scientists and philosophers we all have learned from have had beliefs that we don't share. That doesn't negate their ideas, it just explains their point of view. I hope you can gain valuable ideas from my presentation.
