perfect timing i’ve been feeling so stuck and confused with my emotions. I feel like i want to achieve so many things being an influencer, going to a top uni, having a toned body, maintaining my looks, loosing weight etc. and i am burnt out to the max that i feel like all this is just for societal validation. I became confused on if my intentions for all of this were true or just for my fame, popularity and status and i feel like i’m always trying to restrict myself from doing things cause i’m afraid i won’t be working harder than others or if i will go off track but in the end it makes me more tempted to go off track since i’m pressuring myself not to do it. overall i was just stuck and nothing made sense but after watching this video i have a glimpse of my next step that will help me climb to the top. So thank you for this video!

ted really is like a best friend in a time of need. i have mdp where one thought leads to another and it escalates into a dangerous spiral. i have been crying all day over not having the technical knowledge for my mba program which made me think that they wouldn't take me in and i wouldn't get a job in two years, and it escalated into the global economy collapse somehow and i was having terrible thoughts. But this popped up and it's insane to think back and see that i graduated at the top of my college, even if it was a local one, and i can always take one step ahead and start learning and maybe, maybe only having a bachelors degree for now is okay. you saved a life here ted-ed: (

this brought me to tears, as Im at the lowest point of my life right now (at least I feel like this, I've always wanted to go to medical school and be an oncologist to help ppl and be with them in their difficult journey not just treating them but also inspiring them like I love to do, since I was 13 and also to make my parents proud, and in order to do this I have to the highest grades but I really feel burnt out and exhausted and my grades are so unpromising which makes me more devastated, tysm I really feel better and motivated rn I hope a year from now I look back at this video and see my comment and I've realized my dream

In my experience, an individual must find intrinsic value in the action itself, instead of the overall goal. In other words, the act of doing something good should be the goal.
And it seems to me that there is an overreliance on outrage. This is a problem for all of us; regardless of the cause. If you keep pressing that outrage button, pretty soon it's going to take more and more outrage in order to motivate People, and the cycle just continues Be careful. Outrage is super important, and incredibly powerful, and it should not be squandered.

I don't want to sound like a troll, but the future is really doomed, and it's just the new generations who are eager to deal with problems, but don't understand the problems, don't understand what to do about it, everything always turns into a cringe. Long, methodical work is replaced by short political actions, logic and calculation are replaced by emotions, all this does not serve to solve real problems, but to create the illusion of involvement, struggle or meaning.

The stat about the people who get involved feel confident about theit involvement making a difference seems like a flawed stat to use as an example. I feel like if you participate in something willingly, you are naturally going to try to feel more confident about the outcome of that decision, especially when considering things like sunk cost falacy. People are going to want to beleive the actions they are taking arent useless so they are going to be swayed by that feeling

I've been feeling like a failure lately because literally all of my plans crashed like crazy. I couldn't go to grad school due to financial issues, tried to finish my chemistry major but my government won't give me a sponsorship even though I'm entitled to it, tried to learn coding but my laptop died a week later. Now I'm creating art but it's been very hard to sell any of my pieces. It gets overwhelming sometimes and it's hard to protect my sanity but this helped a lot.

i used to sit there watching how some people just had this effortless pull. they didn’t even try, but everyone noticed them. i thought it was just something you were born with. then i read this ebook, Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it explained exactly why some people have it and others don’t. it’s not luck, it’s energy. after making a few small shifts, i saw the difference. it’s crazy how much changes when you actually understand what’s going on.

All life is doomed. Nothing, NOTHING, is forever. Matter itself may in fact be subject to permanent dissolution
But in the 500 million to 1 billion years till the Sun essentially makes Earth uninhabitable, we have a lot of time to do meaningful things - including possibly a way to continue on in the broader cosmos for an additional hundred trillion years (or maybe even more if we're really patient and clever.
So, doomed is a relative term

My father used to always tell me to study and keep pushing, last month he told me the opposite, told me things didn’t seem so positive in the world currently and that I should think on dropping from college and instead start making money, never thought the one who lit my candle will be the same to try to blew it out, but I’ll keep going, and you should too, time doesn’t stop and I know the best moment to finish this goal is now.

i used to think being attractive was all about looks. then i met someone who wasn’t traditionally good-looking but had this presence that made people gravitate toward them. i needed to understand why. that’s when i found this ebook, Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki. it explains attraction on a deeper level, beyond appearances. after making the changes it teaches, people started reacting to me differently in ways i never expected.

for the longest time, i felt like i was just existing while other people had something i didn’t. i kept wondering what made them stand out. then i read this ebook, Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki. it’s not some generic self-help stuff, it actually breaks down the unseen energy behind attraction. i didn’t realize how much i was pushing people away without even knowing it. this book showed me how to change that.

one day i realized no one really paid attention to me. no matter what i did, i felt invisible. i tried changing how i dressed, how i spoke, but nothing worked. then i found this ebook, Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki. it wasn’t about faking confidence, it was about shifting my energy. after applying what it teaches, i started seeing people respond to me differently. not overnight, but in a way that felt real.

i was scrolling late at night, looking for something that could help me break out of this cycle of feeling unnoticed. i kept seeing people mention this ebook, Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, so i gave it a shot. i didn’t expect much, but this book completely changed the way i carry myself. it’s not about acting different, it’s about unlocking something that’s already there.

I needed this. I haven't felt motivated since two weeks ago. I need to study for my Comps Exam (PE) at the end of this month and my Praxis (PE content knowledge, which needs to be passed, and I have avoided studying for both. So, thank you. I'm getting back into that motivated mindset now and get the studying underway

As cliche as the saying Maybe it's about the friends we made along the way. and It's about the journey, not the destination. is, it helps exemplify what people need to get the ball moving through the middle. It's so easy to glaze the finish line that you forget to enjoy each step you take.

If you're worried about climate change and you're fighting in enviromental groups instead of tackling the real problem (our mode of production, aka capitalism) you can divide you're task into as many steps as you want, you'll always be walking sideways your finale objective.

I like these videos with calm and melodic background sounds. Unfortunately, the authors often choose irritating accompaniment: frequent loud abrupt sounds, or something like that - I don't know why they do this. Maybe they think this way to attract attention.
