Preparing and sharing this TED talk was one of the truly wonderful experiences of my life. ✨ Every individual's journey is personal, but I am yet to hear the story of another without taking away something applicable to my own life; 💭 I am super happy that so many people have shared with me that they gained something in listening to a little of mine. 🙏 I am happy to connect, just reach out! 🚀

[@chinyereihemeje8888]

Really insightful. Thanks for sharing.

[@priyankadeyray243]

Beautifully delivered Paul

[@crazylaughs9111]

I love to watch ted videos because they help me improve my life and also learn more from others experience, thank you for sharing all these things with us!🙏❤️

[@crazylaughs9111]

@Аб дулла 😁😁

[@JeffreyRufino]

I totally agree with him! 😊❤😊❤ Sometimes a moment of reflection is all you need in order to be able to take a step back and take a look at things from another perspective.😊❤😊❤ Being able to use that reflection to make better, more informed choices can change your life in so many ways!❤😊❤

[@sounakpramanick3932]

Wonderfully said! Reflecting on past events of our lives will help to have a clear goal of what we really want to achieve.

[@pheno_1]

Wooow This talk is one of,if not the most helpful one I've ever listened. Listen this intentionally and put the other work to your mind to consider. Really meaningful❤

[@venkatkumar7498]

Excellent... Such a good practice to do

[@jamesalanstephensmith7930]

Each teaching lesson has a reflection area at the bottom. It proved very productive and useful.

[@samueldavidmorales498]

Incredible insight! Bravo!

[@chuotoshiya]

I totally agree with the important thing is self-reflection, for the next step, we are thinking what should we do to make change

[@jelopiepio2]

This really helps me a lot

[@mosim_7814]

Don't let your guard down until you achieve the goal 💪✌

[@maryabegailmadrid8906]

Very timely 😌

[@nielsderyst]

Psychedelics (daily vaping ground weed, sometimes psilocybin mushrooms, sometimes LSD), learned me to self reflect and improve my life (ASD diagnose at 30 for example, and reached out to get mental help).

[@NirmalKumar03]

Thanks for this, I'm gonna take the power of retrospect and reflect pretty seriously now. 🌄🥂💯

[@ganeshmarathe8404]

Knowledge makes you great

[@sugmadikmoe6176]

it requires taking an honest moment to look at what transpired, what worked, what didnt, what can and cannot be done.

[@user-ol4wn9gv1w]

thank you so much

[@tinannguyen82]

I totally agree with the speaker and thank you very much (🙏😇🍀) to both TED team and Paul Catchlove for sharing this meaningful message to any whom thinking that they having some issues in liìe❣️Certainly, please trust me, “reflection” does help us to see things through and then we could make the best next move (including “not moving” 😅). I have been practicing “self-reflection” (I’m adding the prefix “self” because although it’s not just reflect about myself, it’s always started with the assumption: “If I were the cause (when related to me)/the person (in that situation)…, what I could have done to stop (a not-so-good thing) or to improve (a kinda-okay/good thing) [no “bad”/“perfect” thing in my vocabulary 😛]), I can feel like I could see more and more the absolute truth of everything in everywhere (just not “all at once” yet 😂). (Thanks for your patient to reach to this point of my comment❣️Cheers🎉.)

[@BikashDas-xz9xr]

Very smart.. Continue ❤️❤️❤️

[@TronSAHeroXYZ]

Self Motivation. Listening to your conscience.

[@dandiaz19934]

As useful as this is, it's part of a fascinating trend in American company culture to see pseudo-religious/quasi-religious people give advice stripped of its explicit religious connotations/origins to guide people. The message is often trying to link existential meaning with the workplace. Invitations to self-reflection in the ways Paul prescribed are very present in many of the world's traditions already, but these TED talks have packaged it in a way that it resonates with white-collar workers more.

[@gratefulnthankful9412]

Well said...

[@truptibhingare]

Introspection paves the path to success.

[@Idk-ct1vj]

Believe you can and you are halfway there

[@behzodsaporboyev7321]

Never give up 👍👍

[@celestialcircledance]

Of course self reflextion has its rewards but this could have been a more flushed out talk with concrete sugestions like key things to reflect on , how to fit it into a busy dchedule and meathods of acheaving the goal like mindfull meditation and journaling . As is is I'm not really left with much of anything but a platitude .

[@haleyliverton8008]

Bravo 👍🙏💕

[@AppaDo]

Take a time for regular reflection. It wi improve your realtionship with other people. and You will suceess in your biz., money, etc.

[@ayazsoaringthoughts.2274-DLH]

What is reflection ?

[@aroundthepeoplewithme]

Reflection is very dangerous thing. If you go very deep, you can be beaten by your own thoughts.

[@kanishkpandey5107]

❤❤

[@yashbloggershukla4684]

👍😊

[@wellbodisalone]

Reflect on the past to define your future.

[@Fnidner]

He's making me fall asleep like a priest. zzz...

[@anupamsinghofficial_]

You can do some practice .... Just sit down comfortably and watch your own activity that what your brain thinks....just watch and watch and watch....

[@zahorpitafi7954]

I am new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks. I believe having 75K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities

[@BryantKimbrough]

Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should've known that by now, nothing beats experience and that's final, personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again

[@zahorpitafi7954]

Hi, please who is the expert assisting you and how do I reach out to them?

[@BryantKimbrough]

The broker I'm in touch with is *ASHLEY AIRAGAHI . I came across her in a Bloomberg interview and got in touch with her. You can use something else. For me, her strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on

[@brianboogie9700]

Please how can I contact Mrs Ashley ? I really like what she has done for you, and I also want to benefit from it.

[@kevinth66]

Opera singer, Catholic priest, corporate lawyer, management consultant. 3/4 pure evil. He needs one heck of a lot more self reflection.

[@danf4447]

i have known lawyers and i would say listening and compassion and empathy are almost non existant traits. -

[@Novapsihoanaliza]
