    “Do hard things. If you do hard things, hard things become easier to do.”
    Damn, that was good.

      Hello Mario. Thank you. I have found this statement to be so true in my life. Trying each day to make my comfort zone being comfortable not having one.

      Excellent video content! Apologies for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Proutklarton Defeat problems Plan (do a google search)? It is a great one of a kind product for discovering how release your stress and free your mind without the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my close friend Aubrey after a lifetime of fighting got cool success with it.

    Wow! Wow! Wow! I needed this right now! I’ve been grieving the recent loss of my mother. She passed in April. Since her death, my battery has been low. Your carefully selected words have helped to recharged me. Your message has inspired me. I’m writing these words and will read them until I commit them to memory. I will use this as a compass to get back to enjoying my life. Thank you for sharing this message with the world. Words make a difference!

    No matter what job, which industry or what area of your life you are in now, Bruce's TEDx talk is worth listening to until the end! Words matter: Bruce added emotion to the letters and by simply changing the letters he is changing negative to positive and inspiring. Thank you, Bruce, I'm buying your book next and then I'll spread the word for others to hear you!

    I'm the opposite Bruce. I became very negative and my attitude. Catastrophes started happening in my life,.. and more my negative attitude grew. I only had my great career job left... then my attitude created a foolish mistake and I lost my dream job of 20yrs. .... I tried SO hard to return.! I was given wrong information that prevented my ability to return and in lost it. I had blame, hate, regret, grief etc.... which made my situation worse. My mental and physical health declined. I have Chronic Stress, Anxiety, insomnia, and depression. My words were extremely bitter, and daily cursed myself and everyone who gave me wrong information. My situation is very serious now.... I've had many S.I. days and talked with professional counseling. Yet, still unable to accept and let it go. I started listening to podcasts like this...Im realizing, how my own negative thoughts and words, prophesied my demise. I'm totally devastated and alone. I'm just starting to think... it maybe possible, if I can somehow discipline my mind to think of positivity, aimist the tsunami of negativity that resides in my mind. It really is is a sliver of possibility. If I can just find a way, a daily formula.
    It might save my life. ⛓️🙏

    • @alanamurray422
      @alanamurray422 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Your daily formula starts with going to the gym. Working out. Strength training.high nutrition. Being unconditional in your kindness to yourself and others. You have power . Go do this x

    • @klanderkal
      @klanderkal 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @alanamurray422 Wow,. Thanks alanamurray🙌 extremely great words. And formula.
      I'm so at a loss, knowing my career job is over. I want my life back the way it was.... my future was with my job, I never wanted it to end. I loved the atmosphere, the coworkers and friends. I just loved my life so much because I had that job. The anxiety and depression I have now, is so debilitating. I barely can get up to brush my teeth. I'm in such bad shape now.
      I wish I could forgive myself .
      Unconditional kindness to myself?
      Wow,... that is difficult. I feel so upset with myself, and the guilt, regret and shame. I did many more foolish mistakes prior to loosing my job. I had quit my favorite sport, because of my bad attitude I somehow got, then I didn't visit my grandma before she passed. She had been asking to see me , and I put it off. I had invested in a stock, and it skyrocketed from $10,000 investment to $779,000!!!. It was a dream come true. My son was saying "Dad", that's the house you always wanted!!! ... I said, I know..!! I'm going to wait till it goes higher...
      The Co. Failed to submit paperwork? to the exchange?.. and it was suspended and crashed. Then, I made the foolish mistake.. and lost my job.
      The Stress was SO bad for me.. it caused insomnia and anxiety. I was falling apart mentally.... I couldn't believe how disrupted my whole life became... I just spiraled into depression. I didn't know what depression really was, until it happened to me. It really is a illness. I feel apathy, and loss of interests...and no pleasure.
      I really would like to somehow genuinely forgive myself, and start working out again, and working on my vw again, and calling up friends again, and going outside, being happy again!!!!!
      But,.. im so down on my life now, I hate what's happened to me...
      And the Anxiety, insomnia, and depression added to my losses... makes my existence horrible.
      I do like your formula! Though.
      Thanks so much for caring about me.... I really appreciate you 🙌

      You can change the past. You must let it go So you can be present. Take it one day at a time. Make small changes to change What you shared here share to a friend. Don’t isolate yourself. Reach out to friends and find counseling. I began a recovery program for people pleasing that has helps me immensely and brought awareness to how hard I am on myself. My mind is my worst enemy. That is what I am now focusing on. Faith & friends (mostly new - since enlisted my self plus didn’t bother to make any when we moved 4 years ago) has carried me through this very difficult time. 🙏 for you and your courage to embrace life again and be joyful for each day you are given. There’s a book Making Peach with your Past. It may help you. 💖 & 🙏

    • @brucepulver
      @brucepulver ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, Debra. We never know the depths from which another persons perspective, situation, thoughts, feelings and actions are coming. Sometimes just being there and being SILENT to LISTEN is the solution for the moment. Isn't it cool that SILENT and LISTEN have the same letters just rearranged?

    The greatest inspirational book in history is the bible. Basic Information Before Leaving Earth. A great phrase from it is 'renewing your mind'. Thousands of phrases from it are in daily language. Learning from history, wisdom in proverbs, realized predictions, immoral consequences, inspired messages from creator, and science facts; its all there between the pages. Forget climate change; the catastrophe is Moral Change. Its time for mom & dad to inspire their kids.

      Bemnet:, Thank you for your kind comment. When awarded this opportunity to share my Idea of how a renewed mindset to focus on our self-talk four years ago. my goal was to simply talk about my experience openly and how a life challenge forced me to pay attention to my words. The talk was as much for me to seek clarity as it was to impart any special wisdom. I am still learning and I continue to seek the deeper meaning of the power of my words each day. Thank you

    I have an exercise,
    Take a paper, a pen
    And start writing words, write every word what come in mind,
    If negative words out numbers positive words,
    You need to change your mind set, your dictionary, and start adding more positive words to it.

    • @brucepulver
      @brucepulver 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kam. My intention with the idea shared is to express a starting point around the impact of the words we use on our outlook about life. The only life I can use as a point of reference is my own. Behind the message have been years of my own doubt, "lack of" and "am I enough" thinking. All of this came to my realization on the day of that personal "BAM" moment. I was likely in some ways living in a setting of Toxic Positivity. My upbringing was positive. Not perfect but positive. My work environment was full of "overcomers". Sales professionals who were successful in highly competitive sales battles. It seemed like they were just "positiving" themselves to success. I didn't understand how could they be so positive all the time when my work cycle had years of great success as well as setbacks and losses. I also realized that, conversations with myself added to the doubt. The "BAM" moment, didn't change everything for me in an instant. What I realized was that, if I wanted better outcomes, I had to begin looking at myself and my mindset separate from the circumstances which had created a habit response of negative thinking. Thank you for your comment as I can now see where, including some of the background into my talk, might have provided a wider perspective for the audience. Thank you for helping me see a blind spot, I was missing.
