10 Most Inspirational TED Talks For Personal Growth
There are definitely times in our lives where we just want to roll up in a fetal position in the corner of our bed and stay like that for a few days. Admit it, adulting is hard and there are so many ways we can fuck up and ruin it for ourselves. But everyone makes mistakes, and while we learn from them, this helps us become a better us. Especially when it comes to personal growth, we come across so many challenges, tough decisions, and negative people that are looking to put you down in any way. And unfortunately, that's part of what life is—people attempting to bring you down.

COURAGE!!! Some people have it and most of us don't. What is courage? According to Wikipedia, "Courage (also called bravery or valour) is the choice and willingness to confront agony, pain, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. Physical courage is bravery in the face of physical pain, hardship, death or threat of death, while moral courage is the ability to act rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, discouragement, or personal loss. The classical virtue of fortitude (andreia, fortitudo) is also translated 'courage', but includes the aspects of perseverance and patience." That is the denotation and some connotation of the word COURAGE.

Jeni LeePublished 6 years ago in MotivationFocus on Creating the Best Version of YOU
Are you having the best day of your life? Probably not. But that’s doesn't mean that today doesn’t matter. Every day matters. Every day is another chance to turn your life around. Most people would say they’re not living their life to its full potential or even enjoying their life at all. You only have one life to live. If you’re not living for yourself, who are you living for?
Haylz WardPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHow to Find Motivation When You Can't Find a Reason to
1 Set yourself alarms. Write down things that need doing around the house, plan the grocery shopping, bundle all your socks into pairs. Give yourself ten minutes to water your plants, fifteen to have breakfast, and twenty minutes each for the intermittent naps you’re going to need during the day. Organise your day as much as you possibly can, and try your hardest to get into a routine. Don’t rush yourself to do anything; if you need to lie awake in the morning and just think before you get up, that’s okay.
Elly LouisePublished 6 years ago in MotivationOpen Hands
One of the most obvious life lessons I have had the (unfortunate) pleasure of learning over the past few years is the life is not in my control. As much as I can try and take control of things and try to steer situations, outcomes, even people in a direction that I feel they should go... I am reminded constantly that it is a futile waste of effort.

Look in the mirror. Are you looking at your own reflection? Your own pure, raw, unaltered self? Or are you looking at the reflection of someone who might be overly affected by the wants and desires of society?

Being a single woman in the heart of New York City can be challenging, however, it can also be rewarding. Those who are going through something alone, whether it's a breakup, death, depression, or anything else imaginable, just know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. New York is a big city and the internet has become a way of freedom for everyone to feel loved. Love the life you live and the rest will follow suit. Self-discovery takes time, dedication, and patience, but the self-satisfaction is life's biggest reward.
Jess TedeschiPublished 6 years ago in MotivationThe Ocean
I come from a landlocked prairie town in Southern Alberta Canada. Not exactly Ocean inspired, actually quite the opposite. Oil, cows, and wheat. All how I started my life, knowing and loving. However, for some mystical reason, I knew The Ocean was inside of my heart, even though it scared the sh*t out of me.
NikPublished 6 years ago in MotivationChris Rock and a Hard Place
Just last night, I watched the Chris Rock Netflix special. The usual commentary on race politics and gender relations filled the 60 minutes or so, but one allegory stuck with me beyond the notorious "black mirror" that we have become so accustomed to. As my unlit screen stared back at me, I couldn't help but dwell on Rock's reference to how relationships function much like bands. “Sometimes you’re singing lead, and sometimes you’re playing tambourine."
NoBeigePublished 6 years ago in MotivationLife Without Living
"None of this matters, so do what you need to survive and keep moving." Just a simple tweet among the countless others filling my timeline. Yet, upon reading it—though it wasn't some grand moment filled with exploding realization and magical emotion—it was a quiet, relieving epiphany; like letting out a heavy sigh.
