Watching this in September 2022 and it’s such a breathe of fresh air. I love this guy! He’s funny 😆 “no problem mon, you have a situation mon” 💯

[@manifestationwithsami]

You CANNOT solve the problem if you are still fighting against it. If you are still struggling with the issue that dejected you or the problem that stuck in your life, let it go. Do not fight against it. Sometimes accepting and letting go can give you the highest peace. Isn’t? Some problems are not solvable by our power; they are out of our control. Fighting against them destroys our mindset and energy level. Let it go and take a breath

[@Hotelsonfire]

The “nobody makes it out of this life alive” bit and the “he keeps dancing until it rains” part really spoke to me.

[@stevec404]

"He keeps dancing until it rains!" I am laughing and crying at the same time. From one who has given up on himself way too many times...thank you for this inspiring message.

[@nellymorales1635]

Me too...same emotion

[@ABC-du6yz]

how beautiful you look ma'am. amazing.

[@mothiurNCL]

I don't usually have much time to watch anything more than 3 or 4 minutes, 6 maximum. This man is inspirational and 22 minutes wasn't long enough.

[@user-vq5ff6mv4n]

Ironically, I lived a life that centered on the feelings of others. Instead of expressing my feelings frankly, I thought I had to live a happy life that would require suppressing my feelings to avoid making problems. At the same time, I firmly believed that my inner anxiety or nervousness should not be revealed. I tried to think positively or forced a smile on my face, hiding my unease and pretending not to know. Some feelings discomforted me, which I knew I should not be feeling, yet whenever those feelings arose, I would deny myself and suffer. I thought this was the right way, but reality told me the contrary. I became more vulnerable. I started to use the "Intended mindfulness playlist' and got much better. It really works 🙂

[@wrsk.7014]

‘Because he keep dancing until it rains’ Such a beautiful and motivated ending.

[@andrewacton5095]

Fabulous talk. Love that we have situations! We should definitely all keep dancing until it rains. Thanks for the wisdom Dr Gill.

[@jensonalex9610]

He's got a very strong mind to loose his hand and still say boldly and with a smile as well.... "I did everything Single-handedly"

[@amamamamamama97]

Absolutely LOVED this TedX talk! Love the positivity he gave out and how he made people laugh throughout! An absolute gem! 👏🏼

[@Chikathegreatman]

Amazing! How the things that appear as shortcomings could become our badge of honor. Just like the great apostle Paul, said three times have I asked the Lord to remove this infirmity but he said my Grace is sufficient for you.

Dancing until it rains is very powerful ..Need such a confidence and conviction..👏👏👏👏👏Enjoyed with great message 👍👍👍

[@thenavigator582]

Can’t thank you enough for the magic you did with just few words. You have restored my confidence that i lost after few consecutive failures. I was sooo depressed and then i came up with this video. I feel like this 20 mins session that i have listened is the most useful thing i have ever done in my life with my mobile phone😂 Thank you again!

[@kaksbaby]

Not the most useful thing you’ve done on a mobile phone 😂😂😂😂

[@camillac.s.279]

🙏🏻❤️🙌🏻

[@DJ-sv7xf]

If you learned something from your failures then it wasn't a waste of time - it was an expensive lesson. They taught us in college that the person who fails and stops trying is the only failure. Look for the lesson and change your angle of attack.

[@MnMcancook]

Talking about this is extremely important! Schizophrenia and Bipolar disorders are not understood very well by doctors, much less the general public. I congratulate you for having the confidence and determination to inform people of these disorders and the fact that you are functional. Keep it up, and good luck!

Possibility thinking, Situation for solution, keep on trying are essence of this speech

[@dingling2645]

So if you just take a inventory of where you are right now understand where you are what resources you have how much money you have what education level you have what connections you have and then think about where it is you want to go what is it you want to be don't think five years think two years just two years something that's within vision and then notice what it will take for you to get from here to there what is the path between here and there and if you don't know the path find someone who has taken that path find someone who has already done it and if you cannot meet them directly find it out in books you've got the internet you've got all of these resources and this is the step that no one takes. Love it.

[@patrickk.lumumba8869]

Your talk is so engaging, I didn't notice you don't have your left arm till you mentioned.

[@akiadanny9091]

Keep dancing until it rains!!! What an inspiration

[@rehemankisi3413]

Great presenter great presentation. Thank you so kindly for sharing.

[@joseanguiano7938]

Dope, I learned that changing your mindset on how you look at problems can help change that stigma. The word "problem " gets such a bad rap that nobody knows how to get out of it. Take inventory of where you are? where you want to go? and how your gonna get there, finally take the first step and try it. Lastly FAIL there is no success if you don't try. Here we go.

[@CuteBamboo2012]

Lord that was the shortest 22 minutes of my life!!! This talk was really great!!

Hi Brian, thank you for this. My current journey is to improve my problem solving skills and communication. Thus, thus was very helpful.
