I cried when i watched this video. I have to watch it again and again to remind me self-love. Because all my pain now just because i dont love myself enough.
Thank you. That was very inspiring. As someone who has very low-self esteem and has cultivated a lot self-hate at a young age, the message you delivered was a wake up call for me. "Comparison discredits what we are", "We are extraordinary because we are different", "Your existence is a gift". Such messages resonate to me deeply, I hope me and anyone going through a self-love journey gets to reaches their destination.
Branden is as REAL as it gets! Thats why this talk is so powerful. I have had the great privilege of knowing Branden for over a decade now, and all I can say is his mission to spread LOVE has been a burning truth since we crossed paths. What a beautiful expression in a world that could really use more LOVE for ourselves & others!!
“Can I love myself like there is nothing to fix?” was the game changer for me. So much time spent trying to “fix” x to get to y, only to realize I am perfectly imperfect, I am uniquely me, there is no other, I am one of one. Now I’m a journey junkie, loving myself with discipline, consistency, and patience because there is no rush to get to the end result. Just enjoying where I am today.
THIS is the message of our times. I keep hearing it everywhere. For me, it came into my heart through the songs and messages of BTS (Korean band) which is the last place I would expect it, but they have the same authenticity as this young man Brandon. Which is why this 69yo mom from Oregon loves them and hopes this message just keeps landing on people. Thanks Brandon, wishing you the best.
I believe that loving everyone unconditionally can bring so much joy and positivity into one's life. However, it's important to remember that unconditional love and unconditional trust are not the same thing. While I strive to show love and compassion to all those I encounter, I also recognize the importance of setting boundaries and being cautious when it comes to trusting others. By keeping these distinctions in mind, I can continue to spread love and kindness while also looking out for my own well-being.
I learned a lot just in 15 mins. I also kind of knew all of this but i feel like i needed to hear them from someone. Thank you for this beautiful talk. Namaste 💜
You are a gift. A gift to your friend, a gift to your family, a gift to your Neighborhood， and a gift to the world. And your self-love is how you pay homage to the gift that you are each and every day. thankyou
Such an incredible message, I really needed to hear this. We live in a society that is constantly bombarding us with propaganda designed to make us feel not enough. I have struggled for such a long time to try to break free of this but didn't realize how much I was holding myself back by always criticizing myself. Your words have such truth and power to help heal this world.
This is a great talk for teachers. The endless treadmill of perfection then the comparisons and 1-5 scores from observations. Teaching is becoming a very toxic profession. It's hard to hold a place of I am enough when you are CONSTANTLY pushed to be more and do more.
Such a potent message. Such an important time for the world to receive these deeply embodied words. Thank you B for your light - you truly are a gift to us all.
If he is the change he wants to see then I hope to live long enough to have a chance to live in such a world of wisdom and self love. It was as truly beautiful a speech as he is inside and out 👏 Love from Paris 🥰✨
The lessons and insights shared by this beautiful young man are timeless. I hope his words will help release others from their prisons and help them find the courage to authentically be who they are.
This showed up when I needed it ❤ The power of our words and the way we deliver those words are so important. His message is clear and beautiful. Thank you and namaste 🙏
I think, one of my hang ups was I liked myself in spite of everything I knew needed to change to self-preserve. And I still look back on that person, and love him for what he was trying to do… so, thank you for the orange tree analogy🍊
Branden I just want to thank you for sharing and spreading the seeds of who you are! I was searching for a meditation here and I’ve found your speech. It touched me deeply and I could feel how amazing and how greater is your internal light! It is shining bright and like me I know you’ve touched many others! ❤️many thanks!
Branden, thank you for being the gift of who you! Because you have the courage and clarity to see who you are, you shine brightly as a mirror to the rest of us to help us remember the gift of who we are🙏🔥♥️Transitional Blessings to your mother and gratitude for her sacrifice and clarity✨
WoW- Easily one of the best TEDx Talks I’ve ever seen. 1st one I’ve watched in 2023 & I’m already thinking it’s better than most I’ve watched all last year IMHO. Thanks for all the knowledge u shared on this topic. God Bless.
Wow!! An exceptional and powerful talk. Great job Branden, your story and message very inspirational, uplifting and can/will hopefully make a difference in some of the viewers of your presentation.🙏👌💜
What a powerful video. I needed to hear that. I especially loved the part where he said we are messy and only humans. As someone who puts too much pressure on myself, it was good to remind myself that I didn't always need to strive for perfection. The orange tree imagery was great and teaches us patience for our own journey.
I've been consistently feeling that I'm not enough since I resigned from a career job. I haven't decided where the next step of my life would go as I started growing anxiety.
So proud of you, Branden! Such a great talk. Thank you for sharing this powerful & potent message with us & the world. And most importantly, thank you for TRULY living what you speak! You are such an inspiration & powerhouse. We are with you!
Namaste!..WOW!…Branden U R The Gift 2 Us Who Listen!..Wat a Beautiful Ted X Talk!…After Listening 2 Yer Podcast With Blu I Wanted 2 Hear More!..ThankU 4 This Inspirational Honest Love Fueled Ted X Talk!
Definitely deserving of far more views. Success, externally material and financial, actually imposes limitations not limitless potential, because it defines who you are, and how you present yourself, based on advertisers demands pressured into you by your new peer group. Ghandi said, “Live simply so others may simply live”. If that simple was abundance shared then others would live abundantly with you. If it’s avarice and greed for yourself then others suffer poverty and destitution. What you emit you get back in abundance. A smile and laughter can transform a room just as misery and hatred can.
Brandon, I love your story. True self love, being unconditional, is EXACTLY the love of God for us...UNCONDITIONAL! May God richly BLESS you! You ARE amazing!
Wow... I needed this so bad... I'm the spot of going through a breakup... a situation where I too have a lots of doubts wether or not I'll make it... being drenched in self hate, all the things I wasn't able to feel... provide... The relationship wasn't bad... it just wasn't right... at to accept that, has ben the hardest, most crushing journey I've been on. It's been a source of so much hate, pushing myself, telling myself "it's right", when it wasn't... letting that go has spiraled into the deepest sense of despair I have ever felt... Watching this though kind of gave me hope... I've been, and am so close to the edge of the cliff. Branden, I think you just literally saved a life.
Remember.. This world is a better place just because you exists.. All love starts on the inside. Start there and love on yourself right where you are. In the mess. In the pain. In the hopelessness. Even at your lowest… You still deserve love. And what’s beautiful.. as you lay down this foundation of love for yourself.. What will be built upon it will be levels of love beyond what you could have ever known. I’m proud of you.. Big prayers your way! You got this 🙏🏽
You are amazing and beautiful! Getting there in my own life and publishing a book this year about unconditional happiness. Being happy every day no matter what is going on around you or in your life. ❤
This is one of the best TED x I've ever been blessed enough to come across. Wow, so powerful, beautiful, appreciated & packed full of so many loving gifts. Thank You @brandoncollinsworth 💜☯️
Wow! Thank you, thank you for sharing your wisdom and life experience, Branden. It was truly beautiful. Thank you for telling us that we are the gift and beautiful gift from momma. RIP 🤍 Most tend to forget that. Much love. Namaste 🙏🏽 ✨
Anyways idc anymore if this is just for my homework but I'll be honest it was worth it to watch this nice story 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️ salute for going through all of that and not giving up
That’s me :)
Your more then worthy it's why they try to convince you otherwise
Thank you. This was right in alignment with what I needed to hear.
Thank you❤
Thank you for your wisdom. I hope to grow and learn to love myself as you have
I’m so proud of you brother. This talk was 🔥
Self love means to “Give yourself permission to be messy” and “You are always on time”. I soooooo love that!!!
Wow: "AUTHENTICITY IS THE MOST POWERFUL FILTER YOU CAN WEAR"
The only way to win the outer game, is to win the inner game. 👏👏
"They're extraordinary because of their differences." It makes sense.
Thank you Dr. Collinsworth. I listen to your talk almost daily. I lost 26 pounds and most of all I’ve learned to love myself. 🙏🏼🥰
I cried when i watched this video. I have to watch it again and again to remind me self-love. Because all my pain now just because i dont love myself enough.
His presence and the tone of his voice testify of his message.
I'm surprised this one doesn't have more views. It is perfection! Thank you for all those reminders on how to honor myself.
When we compare ourselves to others, we discredit all that we are" - thank you for that. Great speech. :)

"Authenticity is sustainable" LOVE THAT!! 🙌🏽
You speak like a poet. Thank you.
“Can I love myself like there is nothing to fix?” was the game changer for me.
So much time spent trying to “fix” x to get to y, only to realize I am perfectly imperfect, I am uniquely me, there is no other, I am one of one.

You are the gift 🎁 👏🏽🙌🏽
"Until your worth and value come from within, you will always be empty." ❤
This video should be made part of our education system.

Wow, so much power in just 15-minutes! This is the parenting we all needed ❤❤❤
This is the most powerful TEDx Talk I’ve heard. Self-love is the access point. Thank you Branden
I love the quote from Andrew Bennett❤
