Beautiful minds are free from fear: Robert Grant at TEDxOrangeCoast

Robert E. Grant is sharing what makes beautiful mind: any moment free from fear is an opportunity to taste immortality and new possibilities.

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)

"Today can either be a best day or a worst day for my life. It just depend on my perception". What a beautiful message!

"Man's immortality is not living forever, every moment free from fear is immortal." Very true, so spot on.

[kkmotghare]

two ways to overcome fear:
1)Gratitude
2)Intention

[pinkeyshahi]

“Its impossible to be fearful and grateful at the same time.”

A Fantastic talk - what a question for us all to reflect on
"What can your mind do in 18 months if you are free from fear?

[ggonsg]

What an INSPIRATIONAL story! I have allowed fear, worry, angst to control my life. Now, at age 59, I'm doing my best to face it so I can live the life of my dreams! Good/great things are happening! Want to stay strong! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[domlikatrichkova]

Beautiful speech, thank you. I will remember this quote from Alexander the Great- "Every moment free from fear, makes man immortal"

[artistevivien]

I wish I’d watched this TED talk earlier, I feel like I’ve heard the same message hundreds of times but this really resonated with me. I’ve always been a naturally anxious person, but feeling gratitude is a great thing to do on a daily basis, it’s basically a practice to keep yourself grounded.

Top speech. It really does takes seconds to change your mind/life. And if you really do move with purpose you can pretty much achieve anything. And if you fail you fail, learn, get up and go do. Fear? What's that? I remember months ago when we were in lockdown, sick, losing loved ones, losing incomes, losing businesses and houses...and now I have to be scared of life throwing anything else at me?🤣 I promised myself if I get through that, I'll never take anything for granted, work harder and smarter never to be in any sh!tty position again.

'In life we don't get what we deserve all the time, we get what we expert' profound statement

[BIPME]

This talk should be one of TED's most inspiring. Courageous, heart warming, moving and certainly inspiring. Thank you Robert.

The power of perception is one of the greatest Stoic principles one can learn. This one concept has changed my whole life. Stay Stoic.

I live this way and I have overcome things that most humans could not survive, and over a span of 15 years, I have had 4 separate Doctors tell me so. Gratefulness as well as graciousness are life savers. I didn't realize it but I'm a person who will not give up nor give in because it makes no sense for me to do so. My sister once called me a "scrapper" but that's not the case. It's more of a moving forward. I love the quote from the Patsy Cline story (Sweet Dreams) "Somebody's gotta be happy, it might as well be me..." That gave me a strange sort of courage because it reminded me that happiness is a God given right and so that also includes me. So all of the abuses that I had suffered needed and answer and it was not to quit, but to thrive. The credit goes to the creator who's love showers all humans if they would just look up...and be grateful.

All Fear is a concept about the future. Think about it, even if you are facing a bear in the woods, your fear is that you'll be killed.

[katherinekelly]

Perhaps not free from fear but free from the fear of fear. I think there is value in fear. It can be useful and there are reasons we have the ability to feel fear. Fear is not necessarily the enemy but your relationship to it can make fear into an enemy.

[paulaiello]

He’s s good speaker and even better story teller. I have noticed and admired people throughout my life that just go for it with no fear. Have confidence in your ability to solve problems. He loved his daughter as much as I do mine. Good talk.

[pdias]

Robert I’ve never seen you talk on TEDX. I never watched Utube before. Now everything about the you I watch. Absolutely brilliant Robert.

[KingaGorski]

Perspective really is everything, gratitude is a superpower, and we do indeed get what we expect out of life.

*Change your beliefs* –> *Change your lens* –> *Change your reality*

[nanaanan]

Good note on how people think. 'Your win is my loss" as a scarcity mentality vs. an abundance mentality.
