- In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
I can't believe this has not had millions of views. It was wonderful. It was geared to young adults but this is great advise for anyone of any age. I'm always fighting all my interest trying to figure out what is the "right one." I love the equivalency of cutting off a limb and walking around as a cripple by ignoring parts of your gifts.
I am trying to decipher a calling as well. I have multiple passions - art, environmental advocacy, community growth, travel, human services, and teaching. I think I have a lot of talent, but I also struggle intensely with mental health and PTSD. Every time I feel like I am getting close to achieving in one of these fields, I get caught in another depressive episode. I think I may need to focus on healing for a chapter of my life and begin whole-heartedly pursuing the life I want. It would be wonderful to combine all of my talents in a way that somehow helps other people that are depressed/suicidal/lost in life.
my interests:
- philosophy/theology ✅
- drawing/art ✅
- nature and protecting the earth ✅
- animals ✅
- baking ✅
conclusion: be a park ranger, adopt many animals and have a bakery or cafe with a youtube channel that discusses philosophy as well as teaches baking and art and create films about nature and lifestyle
What a great speaker! Wonderful words and thoughts expressed tersely, with care and marvelous spirit. Thank you for sharing your experiences and stories.
One of the best talks! Thank you so much.
Inspiring talk, thank you Steven.
I'm trying to combine my interests in film production, interior design, athletics, travel and some kind of meaningful work all into one but I'm clueless. I think I'm just going to pursue them all and simply see what unfolds and what opportunities arise :) Thanks!
I guess some of the potential correlations are : travel brings different kind of inspirations to interior design & film production, athletics as a sport can be brought to the next level in different physical landscapes or environment when you travel to different parts of the Earth under different climate or terrain, just for a start. Hope you'll continue to discover new emerging patterns since you last wrote your comment above .. Good luck🍀!
Hi hows the progress?
@@virgojwy2024 Hi! It's going quite well :) I completed a course in tourism and realised that I'd rather be a tourist and travel lots, than actually work in the sector. I also realised that my main interest in film production is actually set design/set decorating, so I'm now finishing up an interior design course and I'm planning to start my own company in ID soon, that I can take on the road (my teacher was very excited about this and 100% believes it will work). I also intend to learn much more in the areas of arts, crafts and carpentry and look forward to picking up knowledge on local design while traveling. Hopefully I can get some experience that way and some day find a way into set design. I am not worried in the slightest, because in the meantime I've been working jobs that I thoroughly enjoy as well, at a health insurance company where I'm now focused on communications. I'm picking up some wonderful transferable skills that will come in handy for my own future website and company. This TED talk has been on my mind a lot over the last couple of years and it's literally changed my life.
@@Daph909 Hey, thanks for sharing. Gave me a little confidence on just trying the things I love.

Very well said. Inspired. Thank you.
Ted talk is changing my life

Thanks Steven. Loved what you said. You reframed me.
OMG. Love this talk! Thanks
Exact problem I have right now, what I am going to do with my life and what can make me happy and fulfilled, and what I kind of work suits me etc. Exactly explains what my situation, I also thought about reaching out to a wise person or coach or mentor to find out my gifts and what type of work to proceed with, seems like your solution of designing my own work would work for me, Thanks
This comment was made a year ago. I'd love to learn about what you found.
Very interesting talk :)
Wowie！all other talks talk about finding this and that, this hits it right on the head
THANK YOU!
I like new places, new cafes, hearing people’s stories, sharing my own via YT, aesthetics and cooking sometimes, kindness, spirituality :)
I’ve been an anchor before and graphic designer too. But what do I do to encompass all of this. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
Anyone have any ideas for me? I want to travel adventurously, meet amazing people, and do something really impactful. Just curious if anyone has a quick answer.
Jairus The Adventurer! find your secondary mission by noting down your interests.
your interests does have a common denominator.
the denominator is your secondary mission
I am a bit late but what about journalist?
Think about what interests you academically as well as socially and seeing new places.
