- NOTE FROM TED: We’ve flagged this talk, which was filmed at an independent TEDx event, because it appears to fall outside TEDx’s content guidelines. This talk only represents the speaker’s personal beliefs about fate. The guidelines we give our TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
What does it mean to be in the perfect place at the perfect time? And how do we square that with circumstances that challenge us, like illness, loneliness, or stress? In his honest and inspirational account, Jim Curtis takes us on a journey through history and heart to help us discern and decipher the cosmic signs that our lives really are “meant to be”-and that we have the ability to create the life we want. With insightful wit and compassionate questioning, Curtis challenges us to widen our perception and pay attention to our intuition around the synchronicities sent to show us that, even when life doesn’t feel perfect, we’re exactly where we need to be. Jim Curtis has had a prolific career in health publishing, serving as a key leader in the rapid growth of three leading national health sites, WebMD, EverydayHealth and Remedy Health Media. Named an “elite disruptor” by pm360, and the recipient of Pharma Voice’s Top 100 Most Inspirational in Health, Curtis revamped the standard at Remedy by telling emotionally charged stories infused with immersive multimedia content- inspiring people to live better - now, elevating Remedy to a “Crain’s Fastest Growing Company” in NYC. Jim is the author of the new book, The Stimulati Experience (Rodale), that curates transformational skills learned from 20 years of fighting a chronic health condition of his own while serving as a patient advocate. He is the creator of the documentary series, Elders, an active public speaker, board member and business coach to start-up entrepreneurs. Jim’s focus is on achieving health, happiness and purpose through mindset - lowering inflammation in the mind and body. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
"... being at the perfect place at the perfect time doesn't feel perfect, doesn't feel good sometimes. But if we stay open and aware, guess what: We're just where we need to be."
--- Brilliant and heartfelt. Thanks a lot, Jim!
Dang that’s a great quote
Janice Brown you too my darling! And love from South Africa! 🤗♥️
Hello gorgeous
Thanks for the utmost love and moral support ❤❤❤
I watch a TED talk every morning after my walk. This one was recommended. Left it loaded on the screen and then left for the Forest... walked up on a dozen yellow butterflies. Got back home, sat down, hit play... you know the rest.
How magical
Wow
~Synchronicity~
PS: Your self-love is inspiring!! TY ... 🤍
Me too
Hello gorgeous
Thank you for the utmost love and moral support ❤
Mr Curtis, your talk affected my life instantaneously.
I really hate to begin my Sunday mornings crying. It doesn't happen often but sometimes the pang of loneliness and aloneness is overwhelming. This was one of those mornings. There's no one really to call except my deaf 83 year old mother.
So, I pick up my cell phone and scroll through the current events on TH-cam, I click on my subscriptions, then TedTalks, then your Tedtalk. I listened intently and begin to cry very hard because, once again, I have no one to share my thoughts, my feelings with, reminding me of my loneliness, my aloneness.
I close your video and the next one I see is entitled, "Do You See the Signs of the Universe?"
Yes. I see them. I didn't have to look far because we are all connected to each other and then to the Universe.
The awesome thing is, like you said, I honestly don't believe I'd be feeling so elated and grateful right now had the Universe not unfolded as it did this morning, connecting with perfect strangers.
Thank you so much, friend.
God speed!
Hi Darlene, you aren't alone your friend in the Universe Maria here :) Just shout out to me when you want to share your thoughts.
You're not alone. What I learn is that, the more we're enlightened, more ascended, the more we'd feel lonely in the physical. I do too feel at times my friends and family just couldn't get what I want to share, some even choose to distance themselves from me. Just know that, as you raise your frequency, you might lose people who are not on the same frequency as you are. And instead, YOU ARE CONNECTED to a new frequency of people. Just be who you are, embrace every awakening opportunities, continue to raise your vibration. Focus less on the people who are not with you, and why they're not with you. Get rid of the old. Then new opportunities, people will come your way :)
Hello Darlene, when I read what you wrote, my heart and throat hurt. So know that others are sad for this pain you have at the moment. It is shared and arrived in arms that embrace you.
Darlene Laski This comment is amazing - thank you for sharing Darlene. Sending you happiness ❤️☀️
we all are at same boat in diffrent place ....
I got halfway through when I realized I had a dream about watching this video months ago. Talk about signs, right? I was meant to be here 💜
I once kinda dreamt bout talking with a friend I have through insta, some time later, I was saying a sentence to her, realising, I had already done so in my head, one time a while ago, weirdd, also quite was a weird specifiek sentence, woo
omg me 2 xd what a coincidence
Sounds like daja vu
Yes !!!
Hello gorgeous
Thanks for the utmost love and support ❤👌😁
Whoa!!!!! I am in Costa Rica listening to this with the windows open. About 10 seconds after he mentioned “yellow butterfly”, one fluttered in and out of the room I’m in via the window
Tal vez la mente es mas poderosa que la realidad.
costa rica woohooooo
Liar
@@isaaccrockett2143 no that's def a true story
Wow... I know this 🌺🦋
I recently gifted my ex a yellow origami butterfly as a sign of his love for me, even at my worst.
I feel grateful for his presence in my life right now. I feel this was a sign, to let go of what was bad and cherish the beautiful moments we had. Because it was all real. And it was good.
I just wanna sit down and have coffee with this guy. Great talk.
A coffee or whatelse!
I’m in awe. I’ve been searching for direction on my path and came across this TED talk. I was listening to it in the car, and just as I slowed to turn onto my street, right as you said “if you buy a yellow jeep…” a yellow jeep turned left in front of me 🤯 I was clearly led to this video. Thank you 💜
That kind of stuff never happens to me.
Hello gorgeous
Thanks for the utmost love and moral support ❤😊
Jim you are amazing ! Thank you for being you ❤
Gratitude is A key. Practice it. ☮️❤️🙏🏻
A great friend of mine recommended this video and very impressive talk! It aligns with my current philosophy of surrendering, courtesy of Michael Singer, to whatever the universe gives. It also aligns with one of my acronym mantras GO BOLD SOUL - Grow Ourselves, Be Open Learning Daily, Student Of Understanding Life. Thank you for the wonderful sharing 🙏
Perspective really is EVERYTHING!!
I started watching because I saw his face and thought DAMN....but then I stayed to listen to his words. Good talk..thank you handsome
Jim, it's a pleasure to see you and listen to all your experiences and how you've moved forward, thank you for sharing!! it makes us grateful for being well, thanking the Universe too!
I am starting a new course in life today. Taking a leap of faith to the road less travelled. Throughout the morning, i was feeling low and uncertain about this decision. I had watched this video in the past, today it appeared on my page again. I clicked on this video and listening to it i was wondering for a sign. Just then, i focused on my nail paint in left hand which was yellow. Thankyou universe for always having my back. Forever grateful
Brilliant. Thank you so much. I can relate on every level. Thank you 🙏🏻
You have inspired me, thank YOU⚘️💛
Thank you thank you thank you .. All joy and suffering comes from within .. there is always the oportunity to reach for a better feeling thought
I can be happy in any circumstance ..
💞🤩💞
Love you. Love your talk. Absolutely believe in this. Stay blessed always 💗
Thank you! Needed this this morning to keep on pushing and spreading the word!✨
Thank you!
Thank you, Sir !
Sp beautifully presented. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
I loved this talk a lot! Thank you so much Jim!
I love Jim and his perspective. His book is really helping me. And he sure is easy on these sore eyes. :)
What's the name of the book?
. Hello 👋... saw your comment here 4 yrs later, April 2024, which makes me think you've probably found and read his book by now. However if you haven't it's called The Stimulati Experience. I am listening to it now on audible and I highly recommend it 👌 ❤😊
Thanks for this! At this right time
awesome. thank you!
We can choose what we want to see. Thanks Jim, guess I was looking for that
Thank you Jim!
I feel pain. I am going through a lot of things. Universe, give me a sign that i am on the right path. Give me abundance, love, peace and success
I was watching another n it changed in its own and this video started playing. I’ve been suffering from spinal issues been going through pain since a long time. Last year my procedure also failed. Is it a coincidence that the video started on its own? I think not. Thank you for your talk. God bless 🙏🏻🫶🏻
Yes ... !! I was truly meant to be here for a reason !!
I've been reading books on Stoicism, psychology and philosophy since mid 2020 and I have no idea that this video had references to the Stoics and Carl Jung which I have been reading about. It's amazing how things are suppose to line up just the way it should be. Not by force but by flow =)
books name please
Brilliant talk
Nice talk...thanks for sharing!
Talking about perfection.... Your eyes are so!
Phenomenal and one of the best TED talks. I have watched about 5 so far today. This is perfect. Thank you TED and Mr Curtis
Thank you.
One of the best speeches I’ve heard!!
Profound TED, so much wisdom ❤️
For me, every mention of marriage and the picture of the couple and the woman in the dress were signs in this video because I want marriage more than anything. Just someone and something to commit to and give my all to and motivate me to be the best person I can be
Then just tell.yourself that you already have it. You are already married and are living a beautiful fulfilling happy married life with the man you love. Feel it in every bit of your breath and allow the universe to bring it into your experience. Lots and lots of good luck to you.
Having a life partner is a wonderful thing. Yet I am not sure if that person is the one to whom I should give my all. Or if I should expect that person to always motivate me to be the best person I can be. Sometimes, instead of being the whole focus of my self, it is good to have a life partner at my side, to focus together on life, the universe, and everything.
Remember, if a life mate is something you deeply want, it exists. It may help to avoid focusing on that relationship not yet being in your life, and to try to relax into the knowing that it will happen in the perfect place, at the perfect time.
You are complete just as you are. Follow your heart into your own interest and things that draw you to them. Someone said, 'In the path of your own happiness you will find your soulmate.' Don't put yourself on hold, don't put your own life on pause waiting for this person. Let yourself BE yourself.
@@SS-np5tn Thank you so much!
@@Jefferdaughter Thank you! Even in 2 months my perception has changed and recently I met someone, dated then stopped dating them and I am seeing that I have been trying to force my will and I haven't been trusting the universe to provide me with this marriage that I have been asking for, for a very long time now. Instead, I keep attracting very similar situations because it is the love I feel I am deserving of. I know my husband is "out there", in fact I know he is very near. I know I haven't met him or it hasn't worked because I am holding on too tight, expecting to feel fireworks when I meet him, expecting him to change my whole life and turn me into this butterfly from the caterpillar I feel like I am now. I am understanding that isn't how it works. That I need to be that butterfly to attract a butterfly or else I'll just keep attracting caterpillars wondering why I'm not attracting butterflies. Thank you so much for your advice! I see the universe has sent you and this other person that has commented as confirmation and advice to tell me to keep going and I'm almost there. Thanks again!
@@tarikhendrix1930 you said it!! Keep going! Keep creating coz you are powerful. Keep.allowing coz you deserve it.
I guess I was at the perfect place at the perfect time right now because I really needed to watch that hear that and grab that Thank you.
Excellent!
Many may not believe in this but I'm TELLING YOU this man is speaking the truth!!! the only way you can test is to just be open to the signs and you'll see its literally true but you not ready for dat convo xo

Hello gorgeous
Thank you for the utmost love and moral support ❤
I'm glad to be here.
I saw a yellow butterfly a few days ago and thought that moment was special. I pick up on synchronocities constantly. I am at a stand still right now in my life but these signs give me comfort that I am where I'm supposed to be.
Hello gorgeous
Thanks for the utmost love and moral support ❤😊
WOW! Thank you

Pay attention. 🤣😁
This is great stuff. Hard to grasp in the mists of hard times but pressure makes diamonds people and we are more than we think. Everything is coming at us in divine order. Take the yin in the yang. And the yang with the yin. Go with the flow of this life. Maybe you asked for it to see how you would react...you never know. Just a way to think and bend your mind. Great way to think thank you sir!
forward J who are you
Don’t pay attention to anything you can’t control.
Choose what we want our perception to be based on what we want.
Synchronicities start happening.
Take stalk - what were the events that got you here. Identify what you want. How do you feel? Are you ignoring your intuition?
When I was in high school, yellow butterflies used to be something I attributed as a sign from the universe to keep on living in the darkest moments of my depression. Recently I have been questioning my belief in signs and synchronicities, so I clicked on this video after literally asking the universe to help me out. I had completely forgotten about the symbol of the yellow butterfly and what it meant to me until now, as he mentioned yellow butterflies in the video (and this morning I had a pretty bad episode); signs are always around, especially if you summon them. What matters is what you choose to do.
Did you know that some cultures see the butterfly as a symbol of the spirit or soul?
Thought provoking!
That was a good one!
Key statement :even if you don't feel you are in the perfect place at the perfect time, remain open and stay aware.
Loved this! Thanks
Hello gorgeous
Thanks for the utmost love and moral support ❤❤❤
Your content is invaluable to the masses that I am apparently apart of I am learning from content provided their in namaste have a amazing journey
Hello gorgeous
Thank you for the utmost love and moral support ❤
i have been obsessing over yellow butterflies as of late!!! i saw one flittering about my balcony and was sad when i saw its dead body on my balcony table. recently, i also saw a yellow butterfly in a lush, green field in my dream.
I've been researching Marcus Aurelius and Carl Jung.
Keep going the pursuit of wonder channel and academy of ideas channel, jordan peterson has interesting perspective as well
i have a picture of a yellow jeep renegade on my wall... wow talk about serendipity and synchronization
Such an awesome talk!
Nice!
Mentality is everything!
-hELLA HUNG
Wow lovely
this just popped up !!!its a sign. the signs are all around us..follow the omens.. :)
Hello Handsome gosh he is ridiculously dashing.. 😍🤣🤭😉👍🏻
Hiten Mistry pay attention!! 😁🤣
way to go
Stay open and aware and you will always be in the perfect place at the perfect time ... or something like that.
So major!!!!! Be kind to yourself -
We are all one doesn’t mean we are not also individuals with unique experiences. Cause and effect, choices and interaction with others dictactes where we land and how we feel or reciprocate.
That jacket is like woe
Kept the image of the yellow butterfly in my mind for a few days after watching this (still being skeptical) & this morning I saw one. Right where I need to be :)
Cool!! :))
i have a butterfly picture i drew on my wall , i have only cloured one wing so far, in yellow :o) thanks for your courage to share jim!
@Janice Brown 🙏🦋
My name is Raven, I’m not sure how to take this sign...
Get out of your body, quickly!
Nevar give up👍🏻
@@lightowl3934 great comment lol
Just stay out of the Game of Thrones show, and you will be fine. :-) BTW. not every culture sees ravens as a negative sign. Some people we know have a raven rookery on their farm. It's always a good sign.
LOL my name is Raven too and I saw your comment before I started the video
