Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world!
Ok this is some divine level coincidence. Just yesterday I wrote in my journal exactly about this voice, I wrote “ do the hard things that in your heart know are the right things to do” “if there is an urge there probably is a meaning to be found” and this is like the expanded version of exactly what I had in mind. Blessed
Congratulations 🎉, you are doing great
Brooo! This is ME! Even though, we are at different points and understanding, everything you said greatly resonates with me!
@@goodluckraph Amazing! I hope you achieve big success in life.
Follow that voice which tells you what is right and what is wrong for you in this life. That's it. Maybe it's called conscience or inner voice

Amazing Advice-
1. Face your Fears
2. Follow your Energy
3. Go all in
Go all in NOW

Correction: generic advice.

Sounds good, doesn't work most of the time. Something to get young people hyped up and reaching for something they're not at all qualified or ready for. Similar speech for sending young troops to die for in the trenches.
The more we try to stay comfortable today, the more uncomfortable we will be tomorrow. There really is no destination, there is only exploring, exploring and exploring.

In 50 years of life, this is some of the best advice I’ve ever heard! So well explained.
53 here. pretty good indeed. Wise advice. We are raised to be fearful. especially of what other people would think.
Agreed@@bobnandez

After I got sober (1994), I began to understand how much "fear" dictated my behavior. The people in my recovery group, didn't seem to be bothered by much of anything. In fact, they laughed at things that normally wouldn't be too funny.
As the days, weeks, and months turned into years, I was laughing with them. I realized that their "happy, joyous, and free" was based on a belief and trust in something greater than what they could see...and it totally changed my life for the better.
All I really had to do was "Act as if", and in doing so, the abstract became tangible. While I am far from perfect, I have mostly ceased fighting everything and everybody. The absence of "fear", has led me to a life of abundance. ✌❤ 🙂 Mark
You will only have a few paths that will bring out your full force. Those paths will be unique to you. If you're courageous enough to go all-in with all your energy in the right path, you'll be able to do something that will look impossible for everyone else. And was only meant to be achieved by you - and that my-friend is your purpose of life.
Yes! Exactly. Love that summary.
Amen 🙏

As a 25 years old feeling so stuck in life, this is one of the videos that has the power to change everything. Listening to him with my full attention has unlocked something in me. Now I feel ready to let my life crash and burn (in a positive way) because it get worse first.
Best of luck you can do it

what happened - i am the referee.. did u burn and crash like you swore??
“The voice of fear will lead you to a life that’s too small." Love this!! Great tangible lessons about how to reach your full potential and live a life that fulfills you. I’m taking notes! ✍🏼
Thank you Audrey!!
Same here! Taking notes❤

investing in yourself is the most valuable thing you can do. Discipline is often misunderstood, but reading Bruce Thornwood's "Unveiling Your Hidden Potential" gave me the tools to build it and distinguish my mindset from others.
is this an ad?

@@tainaperes3441yh
@@tainaperes3441most likely a bot. Let us be aware that there are bots advertising their books as an easy insert in these motivational/lecture videos.
@@tainaperes3441I think so, because it was on another video podcast I watched. To see it again means it is likely it is
Wow, this almost made me cry because I realized that I have been blocking myself due to fear and thinking I need to be at a certain stage in life before I can try anything😢 Great talk!
Same! I've missed a lot of opportunities literally in front of me, job invites here and there but because of overthinking and self doubt, I didn't even try 😭💔
@@norilyngamara the good thing is that we can start today to take action! Makes me hopeful tbh!!

What a coincidence. I came across this video today, a few days after I got laid off from a corporate job that was stable and well paying, but that was slowly draining my soul.
I’ve felt burnt out for a long time, and now I know why.
This is one of the most insightful talks I’ve ever seen. 💜
Good luck going forward.
Hope you find something that fulfills you, you’ve got this
You've got this , you'll find your purpose.

Graham, you have been inspiring those around you with your authentic and "all-in" attitude for the past 30+ years that I have known you. These students are lucky to have you as a mentor.
Thank you so much Emma! That means so much to me :)
I am not from class of 2024, i am way older.. but i so appreciated this talk. Thank you. Live life in full power!!!
I am in my 40s and fear of failure/overthinking unknowingly is the major roadblock I realized. This is an awesome video which I came across. Thanks for making this one. Truly apprecaite !!
I’m in my early 30s and felt this really strongly earlier this year. Like the lecturer, I went soul searching - travelled across 3 continents, went to Nepal on a meditation retreat. I think going all in on something - like I had with my first start up - is the most rewarding thing ever. Anything else feels like a betrayal to who I am, my identity. Once I did find the thing I want to do though, the hard thing is balancing what I want to do with the life I want to live - all the costs that are required. So I find myself with my second startup and about to start a new corporate job. I don’t know if I’ll like this new life or not, but for now at least I feel like I’m living an authentic, balanced version of myself.
"Follow your energy", What a great quote to hear instead follow your passion. This talk was great and I learned so much from this single video. I am in my third year of college and for the past two years, I have been living my college life in fear and making it smaller and smaller. It was pathetic. I wanted it out of my chest but I feared my friends would not understand. But now I will implement whatever he told me to embrace that feeling, defeat it, and go forward. I hope everyone like me watches this, learns, and starts implementing it as soon as possible.
So happy it was helpful for you! Wishing you all the best!

This will be one of those evergreen videos. Watch this 20 years from now and it'll still hold true.
Wow. Thank you so much!!
20 Years, 200 of 2000, it doesn’t matter. This is universal wisdom, so I think time is irrelevant. What an amazing talk.

Powerful, insightful, funny, this lecture has it all. Graham Weaver is a master storyteller effortlessly weaving personal stories with deep learnings. As an Integration coach, I've been sharing variations on these themes with my clients for many years, but I really appreciated the way Graham packaged the message with poignancy, lightness and clarity. My favorite insight is how we often resort to building a helmet around us to protect the nail in our head rather than pulling it out. It's a powerful insight that you'll have to watch the lecture to understand what I just said--it will be well worth your time!
Well said
Wow, this is good. So many gems. "Focus on your energy, not your passion," love that take. The opening story with the run, hahaha. Among the best commencement speeches I've heard, appreciate the actionable advice/tools. Thank you Graham!
Thank you Chris!

Thank you, youtube, for connecting like-minded people🤝.Graham, I just want to tell you one thing. You have won your life by dedicating your life following the path you have chosen and lived to your fullest. I am 25 years old guy, and I had this in my mind for long. How to live to the fullest and what is the meaning of life. The title doesn't justify the content. To live a fulfilled life you direct your energy as directed by soul and there are lot of distraction keeping you from achieving this goal. One of the factors is fear. But there are a lot that we can explore. Thanks a ton that I have learned something from a seeker. Keep on seeking❤

Thank you sir, I'm learning from TH-cam more than I learned from university here I found the world best teacher❤

As a musician , the concept of “go toward what gives you energy” is just so powerful ❤🙏
Thank you so much, Graham!! Truly meaningful talk!
When we choose to work in industry, I have observed often times the company takes a decision for you in career path. If we still have a desire to pursue our interests, it is possible to channel our energy toward the shared objective or venturing out to start your own business. I have often seen many making a positive progress with enthusiasm, wisdom, network and experience.
Thanks Graham and Stanford Graduate School of Business for sharing the How to Live your Life at Full Power.
You are welcome! So happy you enjoyed the video!!

I always wanted to join in Indian army, but now i am into IT, i have exhausted my attempts gave exam 4 times, took into online coaching also, but was not able to get into. I still am trying to find meaning into my job everyday. Yesterday i was into a mall just to get my daily groceries, and then i suddenly saw the gentleman cadets of the Indian army aspiring to become the next officer. I don't know how should i put my energy into my job now. I am very grateful that this job has given me a sense of security but getting into IT was never my dream it never was. I remember the first day when i got into the job, my colleagues asked me if i was into army before, i felt happy that they recognised me that i looked like them, but it was empty for me. I just said, i was aspiring to become one, but could never become one.
I get paid well, i am into WFH working comfortably from the comfort of my home, but whenever i am with myself, i find myself lost into thoughts that in this life i couldn't become a soldier and i should live with it.
Hey Surmani, I hope you are doing well. I do not think that you should give up on your dreams of becoming a soldier. Is there a certain quality of a soldier that you enjoy? If so, I would look into something that could just be as exciting as that certain quality and chase it. I just watched the video and am currently finding what truly excites me at this moment. Good luck brother.
@@ItsTylerYin thank you Tyler 😊
Thank you Graham Weaver You have changed my life , I am no longer waiting I am 37years Old South African Black Women and have shelved my aspirations because of "not now not me " Thank you!
He almost tested up talking about letting go of his son. What a great dad. You can tell how much he loves his kid.
1. Take the Nail out of your head. (face the fear bang on)
2. Go towards things that give you Energy
3. To go all in NOW!
Sir Graham has always been a pure source of wisdom. Thank you very much for existing, Sir!
Thank you so much!!
It is very different with me. My passion gives me energy. Passion gives me my goal and plan to achieve it. Without passion or purpose, I’d just give up!! That happened with me for 3 years, but once I rekindled what I’ve lost within me - the energy and the DRIVE returned and I am now in the right path once more! ❤
This video truly spoke to me. I have always been to listen and follow my inner voice but had trouble quietening my inner critic. You've given me a weapon to add to my arsenal. Thank you!
Some people are smart enough to question advice that is posted here, knowing that life cannot be summed up as simply as this speaker portrays it. A smart person knows to do what's best for them, knowing that there is no guidebook, and knowing all the while that not everybody will help you or be your friend. We have fears built in to protect the self from harm. I suppose overcoming fear is good, but being fearless might land you on s bumpy uncomfortable road.
You Sir, are truly the messenger of god. Such an enlightening message. Best one i’ve ever heard in my life. I haven’t found a meaning for my life although i know my strengths. Such a co incidence i’m here in the Bay Area struggling with finances as i got laid off 6 months ago, only to realize how powerful education & prestigious universities are to provide the quality of teaching. Decided to go all in to apply into LEAD program using my credit cards and make the best of the value. Love you for the beautiful heartfelt valuable lessons just life changing.
Clear actionable thoughts and down to earth attitude in his delivery, simply outstanding 😊❤🎉
This is everything you want to know about life, packed in a 30 min video!!
Never expected i'd watch something this beautiful on TH-cam.
Thank you. I'm 50 yo this year. Almost give up. But after listening to this video, I'll come back and all in.
Unfortunately, many people have life circumstances that don't allow them to follow their energy, even if they were brave enough to do so. Family health problems, lack of finances, etc. It's a privilege to even consider this as an option for many.
True, but there's is always a way out in every situation, most times we don't look close enough. We allow the problem to overwhelm us.
I am just fortunate enough that i fumbled upon something like this on youtube, which eventually made me think of all the wrong steps that i am trying to make just to convince my first voice. My fears. Thanks for inspiring millions in this lost world.
Probably one of the most underrated talk
The words and the upliftment I got after watching the video was incredible. Listen inner voice, find the purpose and live with that purpose full of energy.
So happy it resonated! Thank you for sharing that!
Graham is also a physical specimen for a guy his age - he definitely lifts a lot
Ever once a while you come across a life changing experince and you get inspired to make a change in your life. This video exactly does that. Thanx for sharing your life experiance😀
So happy this video hit you at the right time in your life! What change are you making?
@@grahamcweaver 1. I am going to spend more time on things which gave me energy like playing soccer, working out and I also love Reading.
2. As I am also an MBA Student and I will also start my own business and go all in. Currently I am trying to figure out my business idea.
3 and also i am going to pull the nail out and that for me is valuable time wasted on social media which disturbs my mental health.
Nd Sir could you suggest me your top 5 books related to figuring out the start-up Idea. I hope this reply reaches you😀
This is one of the best motivational videos I've ever seen ...and I've watched a lot in the last 40 years !!
Great presentation! I won't forget about the nail in my head. More importantly, I'll pull out the nail and live my life to the fullest! Being your best self everyday! Thank you Graham.
What a gift to graduates. I'd have loved knowing this back then. I'm enjoying retirement and I did a lot in my career(s) but these tips would have resonated with me. I hope this goes viral.
Every day you have, go all in and live full power!
You're a blessing sir. I never imagined I'd be able to listen to golden stuff like this from India. Goosebumps all the way. I loved your previous last lecture (Do your thing) one. I shared it more than any other video
Thank you so much! And thank you for sharing the videos :)

Powerful. The world would be a better place if this was taught in primary school ❤
I’ve watched this over 10x within 10 days, And I really like the lecture! Thank you so much and I hope I can apply this to my life sooner or later.
The meaning of life is to live the life at full power - 100% agree
A mind blogging talk, where in my second voice just went on to become the leader, and now wants to rule over my life...I will be strong from inside as my second thought has taken the voice...
1. How can I identify the nail on my head? 2. My energy also wants me to quit my job but you know, bills. 3. I always go all in. But maybe I am going all in on the wrong things.
My inner voice tells me to f everyone, but the reality is I can't do that in this modern society. Searching for the meaning of life requires for me to allocate a lot of resources which I don't have. My inner voice also tells me to follow my passion, which contradicts the message of this great TED talk.
This is one of the videos that I should listen to it once per week ❤
This video played randomly on my list while I was driving. This couldn't have been at a more crucial time in my life, when I'm standing at the crossroads. I have let fear overtake my existence, I have been living in a state of drained energy far too long. I have decided to run towards the energy. I'm listening to this again to do the exercise Graham talks about, I want to live my life to the fullest and not fear continue to overshadow it, I'm not putting it off till tomorrow.
Gotta come back after years, lets see how far we've come 🤝
Dear Sir,
You couldn't fathom the change you have brought in me today, with these 3 promises.
Eternally grateful 🙏
So happy to hear that!!
Wow this is sooo unique and insightful --"The way your second language talks to you is through energy. It doesn't use words. It uses your whole body and shows you things for which you have energy". I emphasize so much with it and with the not following your passion part. I really don't know what my passion is but everybody would sense what gives them energy.
Need to see it again and again to get the clarity about my life's decisions
OMG this is the perfect talk for me right now. I'm dealing with the exact situation he's describing. I'm stuck in a dead-end job in the government that I hate but yet I don't seem to have the energy and the focus to leave this job and go after a better position elsewhere. 😢
Thank you so much Graham. You're the reason some of us will reach our full potential in years to come. This advice is priceless!!!
Amazing and easy to understand the easy strategy for doing what we want to do. Achieving any goal is easy if you learn these simple tactics and apply.
" Most people spend most of their life never committing to things. This is a huge waste of energy."
Thank you lecturer.
Ive been needing to hear this for a long time thank you
Here you are. Thank you, Graham.
12:12 "Everything that you want is on the other side of worst first" Wow! Hearing that while presently in my "worst first" is like a lifeline. To be living your worst fear and needing to choose to face it at the same time, I'm surprised I haven't mentally and emotionally napped yet. Wait a minute, I kinda have!
"What would I do if I know I would not fail"-eye opening statement
Secret Pathway To Triumph is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be.
21:04 - no one ever gives up, they just delay
23:03 - just do it, don’t start later cuz it’ll turn to never
24:00 - you + energy + all-in + as long as it takes = enough
Well said
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Being able to unstuck is a critical moment but more importantly is the path to be able to unstuck oneself. That is the journey that many are undertaking, I believe, as it removes fear and worry; enough for one to take the plunge.
So much love delivered by the Speaker ❤❤❤
Wow, I needed to hear this today. Thank you Graham Weaver. I think you just changed my life.
Listening to the voice from Nigeria, thank you.
Thank you Graham. I appreciate your effort for delivering this speech.
Super insightful to watch this! Thank you Graham and SBS.
What would I do if I knew I wouldn’t fail? I dropped out of university after a year because I was afraid of failing in school, I’m now regretting because my life feels worthless as I lack purpose and direction. I feel stuck in this 9-5 routine and I’m so burnouts and mentally drained this video was so enlightening to me in so many ways. Thank you for posting ❤
Graham is a such a force
That is one of the best speeches I have ever heard , hats off to you Graham Weaver ,I learned a lot today.
Wow ❤
Wish You All The Best Guys! Thanks Mr. Weaver! Its a Blessing.
Love from Germany
Nice said, follow your energy not your passion. If the passion is film making only a part of all genres, styles and stories give you energy. Only a part suits you. You will be successful when you want it as bad as you wanna breathe. And you wanna breathe now so do it now. When you deliver meaningful service to others YOU WILL BE successful
This has been appearing on my feeds and I have never watched Graham. Finally I decided to click and watch, best video I have watched in years…thank you
I saved this for later. One day I will come back and tell you guys
Im afraid you wont
All the best, rooting for you!
.
So why advertise that you have an issue with procrastination? 😕
.
These are without a doubt thoughts worth sharing. Thank you for this Graham!
Wonderful, need this to be re-watched every month, so I know to reconnect with my soul ❤️❤️❤️
Very motivational lecture.Once I want to start a software company working in AI. I planned the software product line. I want to make a software company based on research activity. But I don't know business management. At the same time, though I completed Master in computer applications from National institute of technology,India, I did not learn AI. So, though that type of company will be very advanced but proper business route is not clear. So I want to learn MBA from Stanford GSB. At the same time, I have an alternate path. I want to be a leader of change of my country, India. It is also very unknown to me. But I feel that this path is far more challenging. To be successful as leader, leadership training is necessary which I can get in Stanford GSB through MBA as I came to know about 2nd year Aurbekul leadership fellow. I feel that will help me. Thanks.
Wishing you all the best in your adventure!!
Love the way Graham tells the story to the audience
Feeling very light headed after listening to this
Hi Graham, how lucky these students are to hear these words at this point in their lives. I’m in my 50s and truly appreciate these ideas of living in alignment with your truest self to live a life of meaning because as the saying goes, time flies. Wondering if you can elaborate more on how to strip our fears of their power. I understand bringing them out of the subconscious by putting words to them but then what? 🙏
Energy is like love 💟 it is the language of your soul
Loved every bit of Graham's talk......
"focus on your energy....." So true...
the graphics made it even more appealing...
so grateful that this popped up on my phone...
Very well articulated straight from the heart....
🙏🪔🌻❤
Thank you so much!!
Every bit of this lecture enable individuals to discover one's true self.
I agree. But lack of appropriate fear can lead to a life that's very short. The difficulty is learning from the normal human emotion called " fear." Too much is no good. Neither is too little any good.
this video just showed up at the perfect time. I am really struggling to take a step forward in my career and my life. Ill just add one thing that may help those struggling with making big decisions, which is to try first what you are afraid.
I have had this feeling of energy flow which is leading to the places which will help me in achieving my goals and also bring harmony to me... By chance I hapenned to watch this Video and I strongly agree with the professor..No fear is the way to move in life 🌹
Live your life with full power....❤
Brilliant advice for b-school grads. I wonder how many follow this path? Difficult but invaluable lessons to follow!!
Thank you Ned!!
