Conquering 4 Dangerous Words With Courage | Tim Seelig | TEDxMountainAve

Our lives are often controlled by these 4 dangerous words: “What will people think?” It takes tremendous courage to rewrite the script, express our authentic self and rekindle the unbridled joy of childhood. It requires a LEAP with these steps: Listen; Examine; Act; Promise.

It was such a blessing to have been a member of the Turtle Creek Chorale for three years when Dr. Tim Selig was the conductor over 30 years ago. He was my role model and mentor. He was undoubtedly the most influential man in my life. Thanks Tim 🤗🤗

The power of music to heal and unite is evident in Tim's experiences with men's choruses. It's incredible how singing kept someone alive.

[sarcar]

I am lucky enough to be a member of 3 choruses you conducted in Dallas. I love seeing you now, hearing the voice I came to love. Congratulations on taking this new leap in life!

Bravo Maestro, it was an honor and joy singing under your baton in SF, with my husband Chris by my side, a real over the rainbow dream come true. Thank you for taking so many leaps, and continuing to share your journey; past, present and more to come.

Go Dr Tim!!! And he closes with one of my favorite songs, "Everything Possible".

Thank you for sharing your story and wisdom! So happy you decided to LEAP and I’ve been able to be a part of your life experience. You taught me so much. Love you tons. ❤

"Accepted my real path for life" Wow I went through that too. Great talk and great voice Tim! thank you

There's nothing quite like the joy of that first jump off the high board. Not the second or the third give you that heart pounding jolt.

When I came to TWCD, my beloved previous choir had died. I wasn’t sure TWCD would be the right place for me but I was hoping I would find another director that could bring back some of the joy to rehearsal, that I’d experienced previously. You did that and SO much more. You profoundly changed me as a person and you are still managing to do it even now. Keep moving forward and keep changing lives. You truly make the world a better place

Music, humor, and truth are powerful pillars to hold onto during challenging times. They can provide solace and a sense of purpose.

[briannestory]

The quote by Patrick Overton is a very good one. Stepping into the unknown takes faith, but it can lead to incredible growth and discovery.

[deluxe_vegan]

The pursuit of authenticity often comes with sacrifices, but it also brings a sense of fulfillment and the opportunity to live a truly meaningful life.

[JulieEllis-py]

Such a touching talk - and I feel so blessed to call you my next door neighbor now.

[WormholeHaven]

My heart was racing along side Tim's as he walked that diving board [4:11 minute] and took that leap of faith, heart pounding.
