"You will be able to withstand more and more and more, so that when your time comes, you will look back and say, I'm okay to go because I lived." Such a wonderful sentence. Thankyou Evy, thankyou TEDx. Also, the new style is impressive.
She’s one of those speakers you can’t help but watch and finish the video because of how she constantly grabs your attention with every word she speaks. I hope this video reaches millions of people who need to hear it. Anyway, my favorite part of this TED Talk speech is about confidence: you don’t need confidence to achieve anything. Constantly seeking confidence will only take you further away and waste too much of your time. I will surely bring this with me because I’m the type of person who constantly seeks confidence to do something, and just hearing these words has changed my perspective towards it. Thank u for this beautiful speech Mrs. Evy!
Mobilization over motivation. Just get off your buns and get moving. Labels are for clothing; they are not for people. Love this! I have created the saying, When I label me, I create me. It means, be careful what you declare that you are and what you are not, because you’ll become that. This talk is absolute GOLD! Thanks for the inspiration, Evy. You ROCK!
I make it a point to pay attention to Evy's speech whenever I get the opportunity to do so since she is so forthright. We are not alone in this world because she and I are not unique. It is clear that this woman has been through a lot. On this journey through life, we are here to provide support and encouragement to one another. Sincere admiration, Evy. I am able to get more information whenever I have the chance to listen to you speak.
just a reminder/short summary of the key/main points. but watch it anyway, bcoz it's very good! 🙂🙃 0:00 introduction common patterns/inhibitors in way of thinking/behavior/trait > cause to be stuck 2:08 1. 🦋 you are not that special "im so unique, special" become self-focused "my problem, pain, suffering is special, nobody understands" > depression, anxiety > you feel alone 3:423:54 2. 🤗 you are not alone (in the world) i'm not that special in my pain. > if they could get through it, i could get through it 4:50 3. 🐅 confidence is overrated you don't need it. "once i have confidence, i can do what i want" looking for confidence to start instead of just doing. then you forget, get distracted, loose faith, .. > never achieve your goal 6:03 4. 🐒 motivation = mediocrity you do not need motivation either. if you need motivation/wait to be motivated in life to do sg, you will do the bare minimum.. 🍇 .. had no motivation.. i did it anyway.. you never finish what you start, if you need motivation. these just rob you of time and success. 🍊 when you do things, that's when confidence and motivation come in! 7:50 5. 🦓 you are nobody's prey the mindset of me being a victim or feeling like a pray. when we think of ourselves as being attacked, victimized by others.. when we develop that mindset, we become that. seems even in how you walk.. 🍓 we become what we think of ourselves! 10:02 6. 🦬 your fear is not you fear.. is an emotion.. sg that comes and goes. 🐈⬛ but we made it our identity. labeled themselves as being fearful.. labels are not for people. do not label yourself. when you feel fear, it's supposed to come, pass through you and be released. fear is not your identity. don't let it make a home in your head! 11:24 7. 🐘 you don't need to heal to be resilient resilient = i go through sg hard/traumatic/tragic/... i go through it, but then i recover from it. able to function as before, day to day. (i go back who i was, but not make it go away, forget about it what happened) the more difficult things you get to do in life, the more resilient you become. you get faster in it how quickly i can recover, i can move on and live. 13:10 8. ☀️ summary these keep us from moving forward achieving our goals. make sure to live.. 🌺 don't let these keep you from living your life. really think about, how you live and how you show up in the world, what message you are sending to the world. 🦧 very nice and authentic speech. 🍒 good teacher also, because at the end repetead all the main things with a good logical connection too. and now go, do something useful! 🐜
Such a powerful message from an amazingly strong resilient person. I believe your life was spared twice and you were sent back because you still have so much light and knowledge to share with the world. Thank you!
Amazing!!! So much intelligence in this talk, so much food for thought. Every single word counted here, whereas in a lot of these TEDx talks you get a certain amount of self-congratulating when the speaker has "coached people from Fortune 500 companies" or "international organizations". In fact the only thing that was a shame was that with your breathtaking experience, Evy, the talk would have merited more time (rather 90 minutes). ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
We gain a lot of thought for ourselves. Then get much better than that so I was happy with the time. I had no doubt, but you’re right I would love to go to a two or three hour thing with her.☮️
Thank you Evy and thank you TedX, This was hugely helpful, I am just at a juncture right now. Wondering how I can get the confidence to start. No confidence needed. Just do. Stop thinking or over thinking and just do.
I’ve been flowing this special woman for years and everytime I see a new video I leave with something new, something inspiring and most importantly some new tricks up my sleeve 😊
1. Confidence is overated. No you just do it anyways. You actually find confidence wasting time 2. Motivation is mediocrity. Keep things disciplined 3.Youre nobody's prey. You are not victim of any situation. Manifest what you mind to become❤❤😊 4. Fear is just emotion. It comes and goes. Fear is not you🎉
No one looks for motivation; most people already have it(necessity, basic needs, family, desire to be more/better, comfort, hedonism and so on) while the few who look for motivation are looking for extra motivation. Also, everyone is unique, there is no way we can all hurt the same, go through the same, understand the same, feel the same, need the same and so on. Using the word "special" in place of unique is wild.
@Tasty-the-money I get what you're trying to convey, but your response seems more defensive than receptive. You said no one looks for motivation, then contradicted yourself by admitting that few actually do. And yes, we all process our trauma and general experiences uniquely... However, the events are not special because another human being overcame something similar at one point or another. Acknowledging this fact provides a mindset hack that helps us to not get trapped in a victim complex even if we are victimized.
Either you came from a secure family system or you're potentially in denial and would benefit from therapy. If the former, congratulations, you special unicorn! If the latter, I hope it helps with the flippancy. Not everyone thinks this message is trite because the lesson isn't in the bullet points, it's in the illustrations and explanations.
look at the descriptipn.. she had quite a few degrees, including some kind of psychology too. and anyway, many things she did requires to know and understand and see people very well.. so..
An expat comes to Athens, to give a talk to a Greek audience about resilience and why they do not succeed in life... Apart from that, she messes up with great confidence, trauma, psychotherapy, neuroplasticity and capitalism (because you definitely need to do more in your life). I would be curious to know what people get from such a speech, and how it could help their life on a practical level.
I think she is amazing has a lot of great insight, however I do disagree with some of her stuff, one is you are special! my special doesn't take away from your special! what happens to you is part of purpose for your journey! because we are all special in our own ways! never let anyone take away your power or tell you who you are or that Ur not special!
1. You’re not that special: you’re not alone in the world. Shared suffering.
2. Action gives confidence & motivation Structures & discipline.
3. Walk with conviction - I am a warrior & not your prey.
4. Labels are not for people. Carry lightly & release
5, Resilience: i am able to recover from it, move on and live.
6. I’m OK to go … did I live? ❤
🙏🏽 Evy
Thank you from Athens Greece
"You will be able to withstand more and more and more, so that when your time comes, you will look back and say, I'm okay to go because I lived." Such a wonderful sentence. Thankyou Evy, thankyou TEDx. Also, the new style is impressive.
Damn I wasn’t expecting to cry at subway today but here I am, covered in crumbs and tears. Yet filled with sandwich and purpose ♡

I love Evy Pompadouras. She is the freaking boss
Definitely, one of the best Ted talks!
100% YES!!!
She is very practical, she is different from all other speakers in the world. I liked 🎉
"I am nobody's prey.' Thank you so so much Evy. I needed this right now.
God, I hope this Ted talk goes on forever 😭
just a reminder/short summary of the key/main points. but watch it anyway, bcoz it's very good! 🙂🙃
0:00 introduction
common patterns/inhibitors
in way of thinking/behavior/trait
> cause to be stuck
2:08 1. 🦋 you are not that special
"im so unique, special"
become self-focused
"my problem, pain, suffering is special, nobody understands"
> depression, anxiety
> you feel alone
3:42 3:54 2. 🤗 you are not alone (in the world)
i'm not that special in my pain.
> if they could get through it, i could get through it
4:50 3. 🐅 confidence is overrated
you don't need it.
"once i have confidence, i can do what i want"
looking for confidence to start instead of just doing.
then you forget, get distracted, loose faith, .. > never achieve your goal
6:03 4. 🐒 motivation = mediocrity
you do not need motivation either.
if you need motivation/wait to be motivated in life to do sg, you will do the bare minimum..
🍇 .. had no motivation.. i did it anyway..
you never finish what you start, if you need motivation.
these just rob you of time and success.
🍊 when you do things, that's when confidence and motivation come in!
7:50 5. 🦓 you are nobody's prey
the mindset of me being a victim or feeling like a pray.
when we think of ourselves as being attacked, victimized by others..
when we develop that mindset, we become that.
seems even in how you walk..
🍓 we become what we think of ourselves!
10:02 6. 🦬 your fear is not you
fear..
is an emotion..
sg that comes and goes. 🐈⬛
but we made it our identity.
labeled themselves as being fearful..
labels are not for people.
do not label yourself.
when you feel fear, it's supposed to come, pass through you and be released.
fear is not your identity.
don't let it make a home in your head!
11:24 7. 🐘 you don't need to heal to be resilient
resilient = i go through sg hard/traumatic/tragic/...
i go through it, but then i recover from it.
able to function as before, day to day.
(i go back who i was, but not make it go away, forget about it what happened)
the more difficult things you get to do in life, the more resilient you become.
you get faster in it
how quickly i can recover, i can move on and live.
13:10 8. ☀️ summary
these keep us from moving forward achieving our goals.
make sure to live.. 🌺
don't let these keep you from living your life.
really think about, how you live and how you show up in the world, what message you are sending to the world. 🦧
very nice and authentic speech. 🍒
good teacher also, because at the end repetead all the main things with a good logical connection too.
and now go, do something useful! 🐜
She hit all the points. Outstanding speech.
"I had no confidence in what I did. I did it anyways." I have no confidence if I'm allowed to live, I'm doing it anyways.
☮️🥰🦋
We’ve been blessed! A new Evy TED talk 🙏🙏🙏 she’s the best
Such a powerful message from an amazingly strong resilient person. I believe your life was spared twice and you were sent back because you still have so much light and knowledge to share with the world. Thank you!
EMPATH, aren’t you ? Love it.⭕️
Damn! I've seen a lot of silly TED Talks but this woman is incredible and wise. I'm still soaking it all in and wiping the tears away. Amazing.
Incredible Evy.... you just saved a lot of people. I also lost my dream in 9/11...... just loved what you said.
She is incredible!👏👏👏
Amazing!!! So much intelligence in this talk, so much food for thought.

I have already learnt before in release the spyce anime
We gain a lot of thought for ourselves. Then get much better than that so I was happy with the time. I had no doubt, but you’re right I would love to go to a two or three hour thing with her.☮️
She‘s GREAT!❤❤❤

I like the way you think. Wonderful empath-ic way to word it. I hope you’re a writer or at least for yourself because you do a beautiful job.☮️
I think I’d like you as a person I mean as a friend. You would no doubt be very interesting and unique.!⭕️
@@annabellgrey7657 Thank you. Interestingly, I'm a writer for "The taste of Lifestyle" column.
@@annabellgrey7657 I appreciate that; uniqueness is a trait each of us is fortunate to have.

Thanks! 4:51pm 12-10-24 TUE
I am not your prey.... That's an excellent point...
Thanks❤
We become what we think of ourselves.
very good :)
good points and engaging talk
(and you feel the person behind, not just empty words)
(and this is a new one :), realised just at the end)
11:30 If you want to see what resilience looks like, look at the Palestinians.
that was timely!
So talking me Resilience is an experience
Beautifull ❤
Confidence IS overrated. 4:55
i always feel like :success deserve me , but i don't deserve success
6 truths ???? 1.) You are not special. 2.) You are not alone. 3.) Confidence is overrated...etc etc
Either you came from a secure family system or you're potentially in denial and would benefit from therapy. If the former, congratulations, you special unicorn! If the latter, I hope it helps with the flippancy. Not everyone thinks this message is trite because the lesson isn't in the bullet points, it's in the illustrations and explanations.
There are 7 points in the talk, not 6. You can also see the numbers on the screen in the back. Could we fix the title please?
Strange to be a bodyguard and then become a therapist without training
look at the descriptipn..
she had quite a few degrees, including some kind of psychology too.
and anyway, many things she did requires to know and understand and see people very well.. so..

Is it just me…. listening this on audio it has a weird static in the background
I think she is amazing has a lot of great insight, however I do disagree with some of her stuff, one is you are special! my special doesn't take away from your special! what happens to you is part of purpose for your journey! because we are all special in our own ways! never let anyone take away your power or tell you who you are or that Ur not special!
Yes we are all special but not more special than anybody else😊
@@marvinmaddocks well that's just it right! my special doesn't take away anyone special, because its mine! yours is yours!
“You’re not that special. When I was a special agent…”
That made me chuckle too.
I think that’s out of context
@@denisevermeulen4984 "special" means different things in one vs the other. But it was a funny juxtaposition.
👏
Cant save everyone Evy, so during your training when most people quit the 1st 1-2 days, were they testing for resilience?
❤🎉
Like politicians you are protecting. Laws don't apply to them and the do crimes so they are special. 🥰🙏
labels are for clothing not people.
I thought this video is about how to be successful?
Evy, care to watch my media or stick with Shivon and sell your soul?
Billion dollar video
Sorry but a lot of what she is saying is just incorrect, half understood and self-centered, based on her personality and her traits + experience.
Explaining people God is tree?
Horrible advice.
❤
CASE STUDY ….CASEY ZANDER .
So good!
