Slow Thoughts: Sharon Eubank at TEDxBYU

Sharon Eubank makes a case for slowing down the frantic pace of modern life to find creative energy, purposeful acts, and sincere relationships.
Sharon Eubank is currently the director of LDS Charities, the humanitarian arm of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose signature programs include clean water, vision care, infant resuscitation, mobility, immunizations, family gardening, and emergency response. She is a former member of the Relief Society General Board serving 4 million women in 28,000 branches in 169 countries.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*

Listening is lost.

Long way about saying to slow down and smell the roses 🌹🌹🌹🧸😀

[@pookiehoney]

I think you lost the point of the message. The slowing down was to figure out how she wanted to live her life. She realized that what you do, who you talk to, etc., reflects on who you are. If you spend your time drunk and partying then that reflects on what is important to you. If you spend your time meaningfully and deliberately you can not only change your life but help others as well. If no one knew anything about you what would they think about you watching your life for a day? What is the most important things to you by what you spend your time doing? Do you spend it meaningfully or do you throw away your time and energy on things that have no good effect on your life or other people's lives? That was her message.

[@sadiaykor]

[@lizycole8999]

the story about her trip to France sounds like something out of a weird rom-com

[@beebaritter4952]

Imagine if she had some real problems

[@nirtlocj]

Everyone has problems and they are all real.
