Most speakers who talk about changing your reality, also establish emphasis on WORKING HARD to obtain it. It's about building yourself up, and focusing on your goals as a whole. It's about not giving up, and knowing your worth; NEVER MAKING EXCUSES. Changing your reality = reprogramming your mind's self-doubt. Get rid of self-doubt, set your fear to the side and leash it, and you'll get farther than you ever thought possible. Step outside your comfort zone. Most people never will. I know people that won't step foot into the gym because they don't want to workout in front of others...but then they complain about not looking like they want. Do what makes you scared. Do what makes you uncomfortable. Not everyone is going to be rich, not everyone will be a movie star, etc. But everyone can be successful and live a really happy life. Depends what you're idea of success is. To me, being happy and helping others is my idea of success. Making people laugh gives me so much satisfaction, and my ability to make mostly everyone feel worth something... makes my life worth something. So, it is a lie if you are told that if you can imagine it, and believe it, it will come true. You have to imagine it, feel it, create a plan, and WORK for it. Jump in like this guy said. You have to GO FOR IT. Of course just imagining it won't get you anywhere.

I love the way this guy (and I'm a guy- not that it makes or should make a difference.) that he acknowledges the discrimination against half of the population of the world. and against half- the other half- of the whole, which really really pulls this world apart at the moment. spread love, amputate infections of hate, leaving only the heart. The heart is the only solution now, speaking from it, living from it, and creating LOVE from it.

The Ted talk, "Stop making Excuses. Create Your Own Reality", and Gary Whitehill, together have been a catalyst of inspiration, motivation and change in my life. Gary is a man out there blazing new trails in entrepreneurship. He is encouraging women and men of any ethnicity to reach for more. Gary is excelling in business, both nationally and internationally, he is speaking from experience, and with that experience he is trying to open door for others. True I am Caucasian, but I was raised in a predominantly Hispanic community in LA. There should not be any barriers to success, regardless of ethnicity, socioeconomic standing or personal beliefs. I admire Gary deeply for reaching out to help others, and I will always be grateful for his inspirational life, that has brought change to my own life.

I watched the first few minutes of this and turned to the comments as soon as he said "I'm a women" first off, when his mother was turned down for the assistant vice president job that was YEARS AGO when women and men's rights were ALOT different from today. If fact, women have more control now and probably more then men we just don't see it because we are too blinded by "let's be equal and feminism" women are equal actually above equal now a days.

I know 2 females in my area who have worked in local lumber mills. One did okay and moved on. The other was relentlessly harassed and bullied to the point of tears, and then major anxiety. She is very able-bodied and good looking, but the guys at the mill she worked were angry about her simply being there and had a lot of sexual aggression. She wouldn't repeat what actually happened, what they said and did, but she went to management about it finally after several weeks. That was after struggling with what these guys were putting her through and the fact that she's not a rat. She didn't want to tell on them. But she had to do something. A couple weeks later (if that) she was laid off. That sort of thing still happens. You don't hear about it because those women can't even repeat the things said to them or done. Most of these women can't afford lawyers to challenge that in court, either. Also >>> this guy is not a tradesman, he's a business man, so he can only speak to that work place and what he sees and hears there...

+taipz And Jackie Sparx gave you an example of a woman who went for an uncomfortable job and couldn't be equal in the workplace _because of harassment_. You know why you don't hear about women's inequality at uncomfortable jobs as often? The same reason you don't hear about *men's* inequality at uncomfortable jobs - not nearly as much as you hear about how hard it is to be an entertainer/politician/athlete... The society gives even less fucks about the working class in general than they do about middle class women. And women in the working class are in the greatest predicament of all. I agree that this video represents the kind of conformity and unrealistic expectations that make modern feminism look like a load of whining. And it's the same kind of victory-addict thinking that makes asshole men like Donald Trump be assholes. That doesn't mean that the actual problems that underprivileged women face are not something worth fighting for.

Just an FYI for a rant at 6:15 - there is more than enough resources and housing for every single person on this planet to live prosperous... In USA, for example, there are 6 homes rotting away empty for every homeless person. So the problem is not a lack of resources but the distribution of them...

The lie says that if you can imagine it and believe it, it will come true. It says the mind has the power to create a true reality, which it can not. It is the minds favorite myth because it is what our minds want to believe the most; it gives our mind life's job. This is what makes it the most powerful and dangerous of all myths. If it is night you can believe it is day all you want but that wont make it true. The truth is there is only one truth, one reality we all share. The ultimate truth of life has been reveled and it turned out to be better than anything we could have imagined. Google *_Truth Contest_* and read the top entry. What is said can and will turn this world right side up, this is truth the evidence suggests.

Definitively thumbs up! I'm very picky with the talks I like and share. Seldom do I comment. And... this talk deserves many more positive, conscious, comments than what I just read. It has the right intention; and although it seams simple it actually nails it on the nitty gritty regarding the right base and 'fuel' required for aiming to and successfully reaching your goal (of course given you already figured out the obvious: an idea that is viable, not just hard work but smart work, etc.) I liked the particular tips on identifying the right people to work with you. Thanks!

It was really a great speech. Amazing. Please relax. Please be open minded. And please listen to the speech. Too much anger tension and anxiety.

It's important to never quit. This is my little story : I paint since I remember myself. When I got my first job and I was able to afford art supplies, I painted almost everyday and also had my full-time day job. I didn't rest a lot and lost some people because I was never available for weekend staff. I did also looked tired. But, doing this for 6 years, I started having my first sales. I still can't believe that people I don't know are willing to spend some money for the paintings I make. I saw this in a dream when I was 8. Because I wanted to be a painter since I was 8. In my country, to enter an art school you have to take some exams in which 900 people with the same dream as you participate- and they only take 120. To be able to even have a chance to succeed in this exams, you have to go to private preparation schools. In my 20s I never had money for this, so I just studied something else in the uni. I thought I would never have a chance to enter the art school and this made me incredibly sad every year those exams took place. In my 33 years, I decided I had to, I just had to try, even if I was a lot older than the average art student, I had to just give it a try. I made it, I am now a student again at uni, while I also work. It is demanding and people wonder why I do this, but I've never been happier in my life and every night, before I fall asleep I dream of my first personal exhibision and I just can't wait !

Petty excuses will actually stop most people. My topic for my own subscribers this week. Have you ever met someone who keeps saying they want to change physically or career-wise or just be a better person? Then year in and out they stay the same. The reason is more complex than you think. Part of it is laziness for sure. But there is another aspect. We, as humans, are comfortable with what is our normal--for good or bad. Many actually fear the change for the better--as it is unknown territory. It seems strange but this is what we are in our subconscious--the unhealthy person can't picture being healthy, the unsuccessful actually fears to an extent success. We defeat this by being aware of it and following the simple adage that there is nothing to fear---but the fear itself. If we conquer this fear of the unknown the excuses vanish. Something to think about this week and I hope this helps someone out there---Charles

shout out to playandrepeat; my first boss was a woman and I had no intention of remaining in the corporate sector and eventually migrated back to academe but she was my mentor; my friend; my teacher. She was born in New Zealand and saw the world as full of opportunities and responsibilities, congruent with the ideas of both my parents. I felt great pain after a few years because through a business partner she took on board, and trusted (I did not) her sterling qualities of honour and trust were not up to the callous act of this other woman, who during a brief dip in the market revealed that her husband had been buying up shares in Maggie's business and she was out. Investments in property; equity in the business itself which was thriving by the way. Maggie moved back to New Zealand and became a legal secretary. Does that make you want to kill someone, briefly before you pull yourself together???? It does me. I watched the presentation, think this young man is sincere, but he really doesn't know what he's talking about.

Another story need be told: Upon loosing a "career" with a fortune 500 Co. 25 yrs. ago, I built a small business. Seeking every opportunity to make it work I attended a "Successful Bidders Workshop" (State level )and quickly discovered as a middle aged, white and single male there was NOTHING there for me, the day was spent listening about set asides for women and dark skinned entrepreneurs. You want to succeed you need work harder or smarter then the competition and probably both. I succeeded, NOT because but in spite of being the dreaded white, middle aged and single male.

You know: I'm listening to this video after spending years figuring out what is wrong with me. After years of working my ass off, being nice, getting good education, looking good and all that and then being treated like poop (including abuse and bullying). And I guess for a long time I have been in denial that my only fault is that I'm born a woman. And you know, I might have started thinking better about men if none of you missed the main point which this man (in a video made): "In early 90s the only way to succeed for a woman was to sleep her way around or to be submissive". Guess, what, nothing has changed since early 90s. And now, if any of you had tried to be REALLY submissive for at least a week of your life, I might listen to your opinion. And, also, it is sad to see how you pay attention to his "improper" English (pointing out that I'm a woman are 3 words and not 2) so you can feel better about yourself when you know who you are and what you do every single day to women or anyone who is weaker or nicer than you by definition.

This guys numbers are WAY off and dates re: population we are ALREADY at seven billion and he's also wrong about the urgent need for more jobs. The urgent need is for LESS JOBS and preservation of the Natural Resources which we are currently using 50% more of than we haev to use which is non sustainable. Pretty sure our survival depends on water, air and food not money or jobs. He sounds like someone that is used to living the good life with creature comforts that is afraid of losing them. We have a lot of people like that in the U.S. people that are psychologically dependent upon a high standard of living. It's easier to be poor if you 've never had money, but when you do and then lose it that's much harder to deal with . The other item he is missing is while it's great to encourage people to make so much money at the same time, if they consume according to that large income it means they are using so much more natural resources than what is necessary. I think there should be penalties and special taxes exacted on people based on how large their ecological footprint is. If you want to drive some huge gas guzzler because it's cool or whatever then you should pay a special tax for that as you are contributing to the problem. We need to learn to use LESS which means maybe people should not all want to be rich as that lifestyle of the rich is using MORE not less. Unless they plan to live simply and frugally and use the excess income altruistically which some seem to be doing, but too many are still into making so much money so they can have so much stuff. look at dr Phil as an example making 80 mill a year, living in a 30 mill dollar home with 2 PEOPLE!!! can you imagine how much energy it costs to heat and cool that size/ type of a home? They are using up way more resources than are others, in every single thing they do. Their cars, furniture, homes, clothes, etc. Then again the money / penalty we wont 'be able to breathe now will we, but maybe it would act as a deterrent and awareness to people not to have so much , using more than one needs when there is a planetary crisis is just wrong, and it's also wrong when people are w/o basic needs. I'm sorry but I feel it is immoral to do both, yet motivational speakers get up and encourage people to do so and virtually everyone wants to be "rich" at the expense of the planet and others. We just can't afford to keep behaving that way. We are already using more than we have in the way of NON RENEWABLE resources, so don't you think people should be simplifying ? not acquiring more and more?

Debbe Decker Good points. The American dream is a nightmare. Oprah, Dr. Phil, etc, are all trying to sell the same thing as this guy. This guy is a consumate yuppie.

Greed is a mental disorder and I wonder if Dr Phil would be interested in his mental disorder of being addicted to and hoarding money ????

As a Jamaican and from a country that has the most female mangers. I find it disheartening that the majority of those same female managers will never help another colleague. Instead they will tell you you have leadership qualities and how well you work but as the saying goes " they want you to do good but never better than them. " Sometimes I wish women would take the time to get to know another female before making a snap judgment that is wrong.

The main problem with this talk is that this speaker didn't translate the lessons he learnt from his life into something general so that everyone can make sense of them in thier own perspective. I admit that he say "this and that are ridiculous" however if you take his perspective his points are actually legit and can be apply to anyone. So guys don't be so critical cuz all the hate comments are basically doing the same thing as him: saying this talk is ridiculous, and doing so will not help you to learn what the speaker want to convey!!

Its ironic the title says ''stop making excuses''.. although Whitehill repeatedly is confirming that sexist and white privileged rules are so apparent. All this is doing is reminding people that they have a excuse or a reason for their failures
