How to live an Awe-full life! | Costa Georgiadis | TEDxByronBay

Beloved Australian celebrity Costa Georgiadis lifts the lid on how he stays so in love with life. In this supercharged talk, Costa moots that by cultivating certainty and selflessness, and with a strong connection to nature, it’s possible to fuel a life full of joy and to put the ‘awe’ back in ‘awesome’. Costa Georgiadis is joy on legs. As one of Australia’s most treasured storytellers, he lives to connect and communicate with people. He is a landscape architect, award-winning TV presenter, environmental educator, author, and ground-breaking live streamer. He is the co-creator of Costa’s Garden Odyssey for SBS television and currently hosts Australia’s long-standing, premium lifestyle show- Gardening Australia- on the ABC.
His chosen field of landscape architecture and gardening has allowed him to share his big-picture love of the planet. His holistic approach is all about gardening the soil and the soul.
From the villager DNA of his Greek grandparents to the de-escalation powers that he has honed refereeing hundreds of community sporting events, Costa has developed an ability to connect conversation, build bridges and above all else engage and excite people to plug in, with heart. 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

Ahh! Like most people, I suppose, we could never quite work out - Why we liked Costa so much! Now I know why.
This was an awesome talk Costa! Thanks for your insights - powerful!

Such a beautiful man, his energy and perspective and wisdom makes my heart sing

"Heart has art as its core" and when you put music to language and rhtyhm and beat - we're all pumping from before we're born. [and anything that compromises and constricts your heart].

Wonderful Ted talk Costa👍🏼I love not just the way you view and analyse the world but also the way you explain it 💕

[@adelaidedupont9017]

And I like the point about certainty giving you fuel. "In the morning time is valuable - do it before bed". What they set up - and what they set up for Costa - and what they set up for the world. A metronome.
A desire for communication and connection - which was not simply an instinct.
And I like your gymnastics class - service and selflessness.

"As kids we all loved spiders" - I thought I was the only one! [especially before I read *Charlotte's web* ]. That point about the polarity and excitement.

I can see that little table now, Costa!

[@adelaidedupont9017]

Awe and AAH! And, yes, Costa, paddling upstream. You can find awe in the destruction and the uncertainty.

the best all came from NSW:

I had wondered how you would connect to *Old people's home for 4 year olds* from a few months ago.

MARANATA !!! 🎺🎺🎺 WHAT DOES MARANATA MEAN? MATTHEW 4:17 / ROMANS 10: 9 / JOHN 8:58
Matthew 24:39 ^
And they had no care till the waters came and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.
COME INTO THE ARK, YOU ARE ON TIME MY FRIEND: THERE IS STILL PLACE. MARANATA !!!

Hi there. I think the word Cost used was "mirothia" which means aroma or fragrance in Greek. When he was talking about the orchid flowers in the house. :)
