You 2.0 - What it REALLY Takes to Be the Best Version of Yourself! | Anthony Cheam | TEDxChathamKent

My presentation will cover the basis of human transformation and the basic principles of taking command of your life. What it really comes down to is, “Self-Mastery!” These fundamental strategies and ideas are the core and precipitating factors in creating long lasting transformation regardless of what area you are looking to improve on.
My name is Anthony Cheam and I’m a Life Coach, Personal Trainer and Motivational Speaker. I started out my career 14 years ago as a Personal Trainer who was inspired to help those achieve optimal fitness. I know how amazingly beneficial it is to be physically fit and I wanted to share that with other people through the wisdom and experience I have gained. I really am passionate about this area of life as it gives me so much joy, confidence and energy. To this day, I continue to guide and train many individuals and groups to maximizing gains in their exercise routines.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Success is not about money, it's about becoming the best version of yourself.

[@namunaj3545]

Everyday wake up to become a more kind, more productive, more of a human. This is the first time in my life, I feel peace. Why? Self care. Self love. Self realization. Always keep growing. And let NO PERSON have power over your mental, physical and mental state ever.

[@FaithWalker13]

There is only ONE way to become the best version of yourself. Each and every tiny second of your day choose to do something positive that leads you to become the best version of yourself. Each and every millisecond we are presented with choices, choose the best one.

[@Brcyx193]

Um actually your wrong about one thing 🤓 the human can't perfectly react too fast in fact we might brun in the process of moving in such speed

[@tramdoan2338]

True!

[@endure_elevate]

True. This is my secret. I live life by the hour. I drink water every hour, read at least 10 minutes every hour etc...

[@anthonycheam2954]

The support from this talk is outstanding! It's so great to see everyone taking control of their evolution!

[@LittleTut]

Loved it! The comparison to software upgrades and your life upgrade... superb! I found the video from Grow Successful. Thank you Anthony! :)

[@ramblingsofateenager3323]

[@lvega5606]

Yes, I'd add one more to the list. Donate, volunteer, or do something to contribute to society. Every March, I make most of my donations (and max out the company match). And then I do 2 to 4 volunteer events per year.

[@rudalph529]

I am a man

[@daeganmoorse9787]

If that's what you think it takes to be the best version of yourself, you're going no where. That's how to be clean and healthy.

[@loki4236]

Add meditation to that

[@CoolWall01]

My girlfriend of two years broke up with me. Just weeks before we were talking about marriage and starting a family in the next few years. Things went poorly at the very end. It made me realize that I need to change. I let viruses enter my life and our relationship. I'm working hard now. Physically and mentally. I quit smoking, I'm working out, I'm not being the same cynical man that I was a few weeks ago. It's a process but I'm getting there. This was very inspiring and insightful to know that change is always an option and it is necessary. Thank you.

[@spaceboundlad2622]

Keep going man. We all will make it.

"No one is going to do that for you"

[@reddot01]

It's 11 pm and When I clicked on this video I was sleepy and now I'm wide eyes open for my life. 👍

[@SOUMOJITDEY007]

Thanks for making us understand the need for struggle in life and to have faith in that struggle to come out as winner and becoming version 2.0 of ourselves. That point could not be described with any better analogy. Even though we all know that hard work and struggle essential for our improvement still we choose comfort and rest and become outdated or fall back in life. And that brings anxiety depression. This kind of lectures really needed sometimes to remind us why we should choose to accept challenge every time we face it and not to choose fear and comfort. Thank you so much.

[@storyteller4410]

You're a superb public speaker. So natural and captivating. Thanks for your great message Anthony :)

[@Kate-uy3pv]

The moment when you find something great among the millions of TED/Other speeches.

[@adamalpha7881]

that moment when everything around you become hopeless you will find such people who were created to inspire you !!

[@coyula25]

Working on my 2.0 version. 🙂

[@lordscoobus4239]

My girlfriend and I just decided to put our relationship to an end. I just want to transform myself into the best version of myself. I want the same for her. Part of me wants to give up and lay in bed forever, and another part of me is viewing this as an opportunity to do all the things I didn’t have time for. I guess I’m looking for answers with no real question... but I will persist and move forward because I know that’s what she’d want for me and that’s what I want for her as well.

[@privatetutor1]

This Talk really IS the best metaphor I've heard about this issue. Excellent job!

[@Blossom-ne4bk]

I'm 33 and am still trying to learn how to detach my heart from head (in a healthy way) when things don't work out, or when things are flowing well in that moment. It really helps keep a steady spine if you are able to master keeping neutral in stressful situations.

[@killerdaffodils]

This is the best TedTalk I have ever watched. This really powerfully resonated with me and especially for right now in this time. Thank you for your insightful and passionate talk, and thank you for sharing with the world.

[@spoorthisreeram2546]

Your words have the power to upgrade anyone.. I am ready for 2.0 version of myself.. thanks a lot for inspiring..

[@aryangopinath6046]

I was born on march 5th 2007 and I am right now 14 yrs old . through out my life there is nothing great I have ever achieved that is if bad things are not counted . I am always a short tempered boy who gets angry all the time at others especially to my parents who support me all the time , All my life I have always troubled my grandmom been a bad grandson to her and never really cared how he felt . I just want to say this to you guys growing up be kind to those who support you make wise decisions and work hard . Please avoid yourselves from becoming like a person like me . My family deserves someone much more than me . Amen . I have always wanted material throughout my life and didnt realise what is really important . Parents its ok what your young ones want to achieve be it sports or studies , Please be supportive to your children Whatever be it their dream and irrespective of the circumstance support them to grow in that dream and to become the best versions of themselves . I just want to say sorry to my familly for the pain I have caused to them . Amen !

Awesome talk...thank you!....literally one of the most meaningful and actionable talk i have come across till date

[@tanjirsunny]

Traumatized for last 6 months, Been listening to a few talks likes these in last few days ! Lol thought something might change. But these guys talk is really a good one ! It helped!

[@talhasaqib3098]

Great metaphor, incredible energy! Thank you.

[@TabWork00]

Reaching my 2.0, starts today. And because I'm familiar with the fear now. I'll fight my hardest to NOT let it win again

[@AlMcBride]

Excellent work Anthony! You can continue the analogy of the Update. As for software they're to close off previously unseen vulnerabilities to the system, or improving the usability of performance. The further you go with the metaphor the more useful it is!

[@dmsosa08]

Amazing idea to compare the software updates with our constant need to be better than ourselves.. another example, let's see "The last dance" .. Michael Jordan, being a super athlete, it took for him seven years to get the first NBA championship for the Bulls...

[@srinivasnangunuri1313]

I think this video is going to transform my life, starting this second. Thank you Anthony for this wonderful and awe eye opening demonstration on how to become our Best Versions!

I love the metaphors thank you

[@alexmarie9969]

Thank you so much for this video! I am going to do my best and learn from this thank you.

[@quayemalik2583]

Thank you

[@poet_stowage4574]

I always try my best to change and I always fall back. I learn so much and sometimes it's very fatiguing because you learn how much it will take to get to where you want to be but are then back to square one. Basically though if I can go to sleep early and wake up early. Exercise just a bit, pushups or something, and eat right. For sure I know I'll have the energy to enjoy work and be content with the daily grind. Dopamine detoxxs are really powerful as well. I'll do that from time to time and see great results. But staying consistent and not falling back to old habits it's the hard part. Especially when the benefits kick in and you feel like you can afford to stay up a bit. Or I'll work some more tomorrow, let me just take a break and a mini vacation. I don't know, however small a Dream is I'm sure it's worth getting back up for it an infinite ♾️ amount of times either here or in the next life.

Mind blowing speech, and I want to use the B word (Bu*) because I can enter a state of mind where me I as a body is mentally and physically numb where I don't know how to engage with anything. A phenomenal talk

[@adriannebraggs1245]

This is an Excellent! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@10010011001100110101]

So I guess there is no such thing as best self. No wonder its so hard to be your 'best self'... It takes step after step, to evolve to our highest potential.. not just a switch, where you engage best self mode. Great insight this video gives

[@hennessy6ave327]

Makeamericagreat again , once we have evolved it can be as easy as a switch turning on and off ..
