How to use fear as motivation | Jokke Sommer | TEDxArendal

[@DragonThank]

You must understand fear so you can manipulate it. Fear is like fire. You can make it work for you: it can warm you in the winter, cook your food when you’re hungry, give you light when you are in the dark, and produce energy. Let it go out of control and it can hurt you, even kill you….Fear is a friend of exceptional people. Legendary boxing trainer Cus D'Amato on fear.

R.I.P. Ludo!Great talk Jokke! You are an inspiration to many people. Thank you for your work.

[@andyhwell8419]

I can relate to the fear of missing out on truly living. I dont want to live a normal life. We were meant for more.

[@folkenvanvanel6611]

Fears keeps you alive. It teaches you respect for the situation. The key is not to be ruled by it.

[@MegaIanlee]

this makes too much since, use this everywhere...everything

[@MySpoonFood]

FEAR WILL KEEP YOU IN THAT SMALL ROOM WHERE YOU KNOW YOU DON'T BELONG.

[@patersor]

"Aren't you afraid of dying?" "No, I'm terrified of not living".

[@O2TG]

Cool, oldest saying ever. Next.

[@henryomorodion]

A lot of people ask me are you not afraid of dying and am like you know what, am terrified of not living. so strong impression The greater fear is not dying or facing that challenge. what you should fear is not living, not releasing your potential, becoming your authentic self. die empty and don't die with your potentials.🙏♥️

This was a great talk but, that was one tough crowd

[@user-np6wq1tx9c]

Agreed. They didn't deserve this great guy!

[@antonioperez3047]

A lot of whuffoes sitting there, enjoy your boring and uninteresting lives

[@pooiertje]

I think the reason the crowd was sitting there like that is because the camera was pointed at them and they were AFRAID to be themselves and laugh and show emotions

[@CallumDean85]

Tough crowd

[@jackkelly21110]

they were so boring!

[@KevsGuide]

indeed, rather rude

[@BelegCuthali0n]

Rooseveld once said: "The only thing to fear is fear itself" but I don't agree. There's 2 types of fear: The first is the fear that keeps you alive. It's actually quite sensible so that fear is your friend. The other fear keeps you from living. That one is your enemy and it is not to be feared but to be confronted.

[@Ijumpandfly]

I was waiting for your speech here Jokke for long time! Fly safe and fly forever :)

[@jukkaanttonen1967]

[@StefanVenus]

Great speech and the best statement at the end. Thanks Jokke, blue skies!

[@Tony-bm3nu]

Thank you Jokke, great talk. I try to let people know how it feels to challenge yourself and learn. Life is for Living👍

[@user-np6wq1tx9c]

That 3 man flight at the end was awesome!! Forever blue skies! Love from USA! 💖

[@livesimplifiedlife]

Excellent talk and well said about fear. Thank you for sharing your life experience on this topic that is holding people back from going after what they want to achieve. I appreciate it. :)

[@e-scooterrider7099]

it is very bad when you have had grown up in a way that you are afraid of everything.

[@amalonesoares3062]

Awsome !!!

TEDxArendal or TEDxAdrenal?

[@pierredolinique]

They will talk about a lot of things, those adrenaline junkies. What they never mention is how depressed and down they get once they have come down emotionally from a jump. It's an addiction. Adrenaline addiction. And it is a disease, just like any other addiction. Don't be fooled by those base jumpers, kids. Even the absolute very best of them die, too.

[@dacoup5955]

Really because i didn't hear him say anything about him being depressed after a jump?... Any activity that pumps even a bit of serotonin into your life can essentially be considered an addiction which would encompass practically everything that brings us joy such as listening to music, watching TV, hanging out with the people you love and eating your favorite foods ... I think your making the mistake of confusing passion with addiction and its only because of the inherent risk that comes with that activity that is hard for you to wrap your head around, and if it where really that simple anyone who's ever rode a roller coaster would be powerless to resist another ride but not everyone wants to get back on after they're done. Athletes put their bodies and their health on the line every day to involve themselves in something that drives them in life the only difference is in this sport, it can take more than what most people are willing to put up for grabs, to boil it down to a simple addiction would mean he's powerless to control his urge to jump but Jokke has stepped away from plenty of exit points in his career that he didn't feel comfortable with, there's a ton of planning and heaps of training involved in this activity to even get to this point which is never shown in his flights, he's a professional who's dedicated his life to his craft and should be looked at no different than a professional driver or boxer who also find themselves in probable fatal situations when pushing the limits, quite frankly people have lost their lives over menial tasks such as driving to a job they hate ... now that is truly saddening.

[@CabinetFramingUK]

@@dacoup5955of course he isn’t going to talk about the depression. What kind of motivational speech is that

[@toddisawsomeable]

He said netflix and chill LMAO

[@AdamAdam-cj7vd]

didn't say a word about Ludo.. sad

[@ringtonesbyguessapps7737]

i don't believe fear to be an effective motivator

[@Faizan_Ali22]

how? i've always found fear to be the top motivator like if a person puts a gun to your head and tells you to do all the things you are putting off or wanting to do but too lazy to do it you'll do it.

you are taking risk because you are lonely and want attention. Maslow law hierarchy 3rd level. reserach it

[@LazyLeftEye1]

pschycic flypaper that makrs no sense, since a lot of people fly even with a wife, family and friends.

[@Lessismore786]

Oezguer Alkan feeling lonely is not a physical thing. It starts with a hobby and the becomes a lifestyle regardless of changed life circumstance for many, not hard to let go

[@LazyLeftEye1]

pschycic flypaper I'm refeering to your statement: because you are lonely and want attention. It still makes no sense. There are people also starting with this AFTER having a family. For my part, i will start this, ok have no family (wife and children) but i really give a damn about attention. I just do it, because i want to. I felt better in those minutes in the air, than anything else i did. It is like finding something i really like to do, aslong as i am comfortable with.

[@Lessismore786]

Oezguer Alkan there are better to get more fulfilled feelings and feel totally alive than few moments of risking of risking your life. Ask your yourself why do you like this and why it makes you feel free? In my opinion, people try to find themselves in achieving anything in life and try to fill that avoid by accomplishing goals, and feel that peace by a strong sense of accomplishment. Risking your life, for just a one time feeling seems overkill.

[@LazyLeftEye1]

pschycic flypaper why you decide there are better things? For you? For everybody? How I actually think? What have I actually lived? I questioned myself a lot what I want in life, what I get from actions taken. Driving a motorbike gives me peace, i like the wind sound. Flying gives me freedom. Nothing matter, just me, the air, the moment. I have a job, where i travell the world. I see cultures, people, landscapes but it's nothing I live for. It's a little bit to high on a horse, to tell somebody "there are better ways", if you can not actually put yourself in another humans life.
