I noted down many things in my diary from this video. Below mentioned are my most favorite :
1. " Live life in such a way that the preacher doesn't have to lie about you"
2. " Words are like seeds, they have the potential to bear fruits of the same kind"
3. "Self-image is made by self and not by people"
4. "We are not the product of our circumstances, we are the product of our decisions"

Thank you Sir Milton for one of the best Tedx talks i have head. God bless your lovely family

[poonamm]

You made me cry Father, May you have the best.. God bless you...

[shawarmageddonit]

Not a day goes by without me making sure that I allow only empowering words to be planted in my mind, and to weed out any impeding ones.
For this awareness I truly feel blessed. Not a day goes by without me thanking Satan.

[practicemakesperfect]

One of the best if not the best TED talk I ever heard!

[subrenastanley]

POWERFUL!!! "We are not the product of our circumstances. We are the product of our decisions.

Live intentionally.

Beautiful and heartfelt...looking for solutions for a population who do not feel hope nor expect a future. I am a Pastor working on my DMin. I'm seeking to engage a population that do not know God and often are hurt by the church. Your story is insightful and though provoking. Thank you and keep sharing. What a bless your wife was given to be able to close her affairs and sleep knowing that her race was finished.

Can't agree more! The teaching of my beloved Guru talks about the same. Watch your thoughts, do ajapa ajapa, mediate, master your mind.

[GraceJones]

Your wife is such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing. It's crazy but I really needed to hear this. I agree with everything you said 100% but it's so good to hear it from other people.

[Hasanabdulahi]

This is by far one of the greatest Ted talkshows that I have ever seen. I really agree eventhough that I feel sorry for the lost of his wife, that life is what you look into mirror to be of yourself, and what you allow people to create for you. I mean this is so true we always try to have people become pleased by the level of expectations that they have about us, while sometimes we negelect the very fact of looking ourselves in the mirror and say, '' Why do I want in life for myself and not what people want me in life to be''. How briliant of him to give the example of the diagram that show how words, thoughts, feelings, habits, actions, and the destination whether good or bad we want to reach are all interconnected. Thank you very much for this very inspiring lecture!

[CliffYates]

Bless you for this message, I've studied the greats, Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn, and others, and you remind of the oft repeated "You are what you think about all day long", your story had such meaning and emotion, it definitely strikes straight to the heart. So inspiring to see you go such tremendous grief and come out with still such a joyous spirit. Thank you for this message, that I just came across today. I will follow you and your messages.

[jeremiahcastro]

Yes! I just really made the depth of this connection today! Let us look at the proverbs:

*1)* A bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree bears good fruit.
*2)* As a man thinks in his heart so is he.
*3)* Your life is shaped by your thoughts.

*The type of fruit the tree bears is rooted in what the man has sown.*

*The type of seed a man sows is the rooted in who he is.*

*The type of person a man becomes is rooted in his thoughts.*

*The type of life a man wants to live is shaped by what he thinks.*

In conclusion the end result is rooted in the type of life a man wants to live which he shapes by his thoughts.
