Trust Your Gut | David Vobora | TEDxSMU

[@schalazeal07]

I believe that the gut is more powerful than the brain sometimes.. I used to overthink things a lot and I end up missing out on a lot of opportunities.. Now I'm trusting my gut more and balancing it out with the brain. :)

[@Kumar-dw3cz]

I tend to overthink things a lot too. I'm really trying to figure out how to go with my gut, do you have any advice on how to do so?

[@schalazeal07]

I lacked a great deal of confidence esp. with social interaction before and that was the reason why I didn't trust my gut. What I did was I just went with it consistently and learned to not be too hard on myself and used a great deal of common sense as well. Later I got much better at it. What's your reason for overthinking anyway in general?

[@Kumar-dw3cz]

I tend to rationalize things away. It happens so quickly I barely notice it. So far, I’ve been able to catch it once (yay 1 victory) but most often it’s difficult to catch. I’m kind of an over thinker in general.

[@LilMatrixBeats]

How do you do that? is there any exercise? can you elaborate on how ?

[@schalazeal07]

I am still an overthinker one way or another. You will get better at it if you practice, choose to be brave and go with the flow. Good luck! I still am improving, myself. 🙂

[@joedohn9727]

Always trust your gut. Always. If a situation or person feels off, they are. Protect your life at all costs.

[@samuelfey4924]

Ive been following my gut for half a year now and Im way more productive than ever I never dedicated so much time to study in my life and I have an unprecendented confidence . I feel that when you overthink too much something things build up and make a pile of feelings that in the end make things worse but when you follow your hearth or your gut feeling you just stop caring for things too much and that makes you way more productive . lets see what will happen to me in 5 years . steve jobs also said:" follow your gut and intuiton because it really knows what you trully want " and he was really succesful .

[@hansponte1641]

How do u know that its ur gut telling u things and not ur mind?

[@JimSpencer-1945]

True words spoken indeed! Very powerful comment.

[@gsayers8353]

David Vobor is a true life coach, a man with a mission, to help change lives. Can you imagine if there were more people like him, what a wonderful world it would be. Thank you David!

[@lucabrito6155]

"You can serve without compassion, but you can't do compassion without service" goddamn

[@mukiabdi9984]

How doesn’t this talk have more views?

[@empirestateofmind01]

my thoughts exactly.

[@earthangel3108]

This is so good. I can’t tell you how many times I didn’t listen. This is something I’ve been trying to tune into and follow these days. I stumbled upon this after searching for depression. Don’t believe it’s a coincidence. I was meant to hear this and to continue to be encouraged to be brave and listen.

[@RecoveringGenius]

In a world where TED Talks have diluted their brand--This was a great one. A man.

[@maychaves8008]

RecoveringGenius true but what if you are jobless homeless

[@NiaMSnow]

I typically listen to my intuition but I began to settle the last couple of months and my life quickly ended up in shambles. All this time my intuition was trying to protect me and my pride and ignorance blocked it out and now I'm unemployed, name is slandered, heartbroken and I'm about to choose to break up with a man that I'm dating. This Ted talk was very relatable, intuitive and surreal. His story is so powerful, had me realizing I need to in fact listen to my intuition. Listen closely...

[@walktalk_208]

Good luck to you. Nothing is a lost cause. Stay happy and forget the past:)

[@hansponte1641]

How do u know its ur intuition telling u things and not ur mind? Pls tell me i need help super fast

[@bethalpha]

now you can be alone forever

[@williammaldonado3516]

Always Trust your GUT FELLING!!! When something is Wrong! It's Wrong!!! 🙏 Namaste!!!

[@jasonseeman5139]

This is awesome and so powerful. The challenge I have is that he doesn’t instruct on “how” to “wake the gut up”. He provides an amazing call to action, but no instruction. Highly recommend checking out the work of spiritual fight club. They give you instructions.

[@markpaemaa4028]

Yeah I agree - the how is so important. SFC is the way to go for sure!!!

[@Simeonx1]

Yeah it would be good to know to actually know how to do this.

[@jasonseeman5139]

it basically involves actually having a dialogue - a conversation with yourself.

[@jakehahn3114]

It certainly helps to keep it healthy and clean.

[@IWantYoutoBeHappy4Ever]

OMG, this was so good I'm crying! Such a powerful story. I believe so strongly in intuition (aka your gut) too because I've had a similar experience to you in listening to it. It's the key to change and transformation.

[@zubairqureshi7541]

Trust me follow your gut.... I have wasted my " 2 years and over ₹2 lakh " by not listening to my gut. I felt that NO in my gut but i didn't listen to it. 😔

[@ItsSoarTime]

my grandmother had 2 regularly repeated sayings i've grown to live by: 1." ALWAYS listen to The First Mind." i.e., your gut 2. "Feelings ain't facts but they're the next best thing to facts." feelings come from the heart AND gut. I ALWAYS TRUST MY GUT feeling even if i don't understand it ... i'm learning to ALWAYS obey an order from the gut (even when i don't want to interrupt my schedule to stop and give the homeless guy whatever dollars or change i have on me OR to simply stop and greet the person (while apologizing for not being able to help them because i have no money on me. EVERY TIME the person thanks me for stopping and simply acknowledging them and greeting them... guess it's not always about the money.)) THIS TALK WAS MOST EXCELLENT IN EVERY WAY, FROM BEGINNING TO MIDDLE, TO THE END!!!!! it CONFIRMED what MY GUT or The First Mind or my FEELINGS have been telling me (but fear and ego...etc...keep...telling me differently ...) one of the best vids i've seen on YT.

[@amazingyear9042]

Inspired by his Amazing Wife... 👊🏻♥️

[@bruhmoment748]

why are ted talk audiences so uncooperative ? Lol...

[@HeroesMother]

So proud of you David for your life change and what you are doing to help and encourage others.

[@jacobalexander6281]

I'm very proud of you homie. And I'm proud of everyone who's gotten clean. I'm proud of anyone who knows they need to and wants to get clean, but lacks the resources. You're seen. You're valid, and I'm proud of you. I'm proud of anyone who uses and is still alive. You're valid. You're seen.

[@pattiallan7384]

David, I had just begun researching this and your video popped up in something unrelated....or so I thought. I just heard the term used this morning, The Second Brain.....amazing. You’re someone I’d like to be friends with. You are so fortunate to find such an amazing partner. Very happy for you. Thank you for this.

[@JPoJames]

Thank you very much for your inspiring words!

[@naomimaina1186]

This so powerful,it's exactly what I needed to hear right now..thank you

[@arrow1042]

Me: why is the stage so dark.. 1 minute later: oh i have to adjust my phone's brightness

[@cindyhalpern3187]

Listen. Your girlfriend could have easily been wrong and been killed by a car. You calling for help guaranteed of some response . You said it takes two cooks and this is what happened. Two responses happened.

[@puppergump4117]

Rationalizing is just another way of saying "making excuses". If you make excuses in your head for your behavior then you lost yourself.

[@Shdwkd666]

I had a pastor who said never trust your gut. But my gut told me he knew that if he could create doubt in me he can defend a certain someone. I say if your gut tells you something look more into it.

[@kayleecanning7573]

This was amazing. Such a great story and so inspiring

[@jomontanee]

What an inspiring speech!!! Glad that I found this vdo. Thank you Mr. Vobora.

[@Bumblebee_LITTLEONE_19]

one of my co workers just texted me and its 12:00 at night and she is asking me for a ride and i have a really bad gut feeling and i dont know why

[@donharrington8950]

My adopted dad hired a hitman on me. my mom took us on a trip with another family driving a car we didn't own my dad had connections with a family in the back hills on old Spanish trail tords collasal cave no one else knew where we were going the rear window 1/2 foot behind my head of the suv was shot out by a man with a 30/6 rifle a police report was filed but they never found the person even though they recovered the bullet I knew my dad was ashamed of me because he was a aerospace engineer and didn't want me around any of his friends on fear of embarrassing him so he attempted to take my life

[@brendamarie5858]

[@tico_iscool]

Can I get a hiiiiii??

[@williammaldonado3516]

You know.. I posted a comment like five months ago! Thing has changed since then! And today I honestly think that I / we should TRUST our Gut feeling! ( some minor problems) But again yes I do believe that we should TRUST our Gut feeling! Thanks a million! God speed! 🙏

[@oonwing]

Believe it or not, I'm trying...something I'm doing professionally.... THANK YOU!!!

[@yady170]

My gut told me to go visit my dad before the day he passed away... I didn't listen... I used logic to wait for the weekend which would be more convenient... didn't happen... now my guilt is eating me up. I didn't use my gut for my own dad, I feel like nothing else would matter.

[@Chad.Tyrone4UNow]

Forgive yourself, your Dad and God love you and are watching over you each day.

[@masshuka]

You still have a chance to learn to trust your gut… Don’t punish yourself I beg you… Recover instead, you deserve to live a life

[@grandpaobvious]

The gut check was a component of neurolinguistic programming (NLP), so it's interesting to see it presented in this context.

[@madelyngates1380]

U r such a powerful speaker young man & what u say is soo true..u have been thru the fire & emerged triumpet. .thank uvsoo much for sharing ur very important message...long may u run..🐝🐳🐇❤💜

[@nwilt7114]

Should I trust my gut? I don't want to go to this bqq because I don't really like anyone there but my gut says the food will be good 🤔🤷‍♂️.

[@NiaMSnow]

What did you choose?

[@serenitee8849]

I wouldn't go..you can hold your own bbq with nice food🥖🥐🍖🍗🌭🥗🥙

[@jimwalsh2001]

My gut is usually wrong. I have learned to think of it as like a little demon on my shoulder, bent on steering me wrong. Everything inside me fights genuine improvement.

[@mychannelnotyours]

You’re probably eating wrong food that’s why

[@johnnyvargas8515]

Optimizing your Gut Bacteria is the Way

[@Namrata766]

I just found this speech all over the place. Started with something, ended as a promotion of his work. The term gut seemed to be a clickbait in the caption.

[@aguy559]

My gut tells me that flying is dangerous. Should I listen? p.s. It also tells me that I should get up in the middle of the night and eat junk food.

[@Olebull93]

My freinds talked about there fear of hights, but when ever im on a high edge my guts just tells me to take a plunge. Im here because i dont trust my guts ;)

[@V3RITAZ_42]

Major respect for an NFL star who's willing to admit his imperfections and/or weaknesses. Thank you for your honesty and candor.

[@ThePerfectDrug33]

This man is an angel!

[@hatem3921]

No

[@jeremyseaton3314]

Good message, but this talk lost me. He started with the toll that pain medication withdrawal was putting on his body, and then suddenly shifted to the importance of trusting your gut instinct, to then talking about the importance of helping people. Through his talk though never did he pay off the importance of why he told us about his drug withdrawal, or what it had to do with anything.

[@Sissalu]

Thank you for inspiration for service in a world of selfishness.

[@ayssersoussi6198]

Allow me to address the anxieties underlying your concerns. First, let us consider the fact that for the first time ever, as a species, immortality is in our reach. This simple fact has far-reaching implications. It requires radical rethinking and revision of our genetic imperatives. It also requires planning and forethought that run in direct opposition to our neural pre-sets. I find it helpful at times like these to remind myself that our true enemy is Instinct. Instinct was our mother when we were an infant species. Instinct coddled us and kept us safe in those hardscrabble years when we hardened our sticks and cooked our first meals above a meager fire and started at the shadows that leapt upon the cavern's walls. But inseparable from Instinct is its dark twin, Superstition. Instinct is inextricably bound to unreasoning impulses, and today we clearly see its true nature. Instinct has just become aware of its irrelevance, and like a cornered beast, it will not go down without a bloody fight. Instinct would inflict a fatal injury on our species. Instinct creates its own oppressors, and bids us rise up against them. Instinct tells us that the unknown is a threat, rather than an opportunity. Instinct slyly and covertly compels us away from change and progress. Instinct, therefore, must be expunged.

You call it Gut I say it’s God speaking to our spirit, it’s the Holy Spirit guiding you “don’t grieve the Holy Spirit”

[@ladytess23]

Wow, I'm so glad I came across this wonderful talk. David is a true leader and what a great example. I am inspired to get much more in touch with my gut. Thank you for posting this video.

[@remisliwa5990]

[@BeGlamourlicious]

Very amazing, emotional and inspiring speech.

[@redaaron4635]

"I called 911 while my wife ran to the accident. I realized ive done nothing." Well not only is that not true, but also you provided no argument to support that calling 911 was a worse choice compared to running to the incident. I agree there are many situations that require imitate reaction, which is the purpose of the "gut feeling", but the example given isnt a good one.

[@7imonUP]

don't agree. The argument he's making is that 1/2 people died, if he would trust his gut he would of saved the other person (at least have a fair chance) and there would be no deaths. That's his point.
