- A profound talk that probes life’s core questions. Why are you? What do you believe and why? Do You have strategy to live out your beliefs? For most of us it is quite possible to move through an entire career without ever answering these questions. Stated or not, your beliefs drive you. What do you believe about work, family, money, God, etc.? What values follow your beliefs? Do you live in sync with your beliefs and values? Perhaps it’s time to hit the pause button - take time to assess what matters most to you, and re-engage with a strategy to live it. The results are powerful!
A pragmatic visionary, offering strong insights in strategy, leadership, people development and innovation. Founder & Managing Director of Chrysalis Consulting, Tim resides in Nanjing, China with his wife, Kristan, and two of their four children.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Best "TedTalk" I've seen and like that he didn't stick to their 'standard' format.
What he said: What do you believe? - e.g. does education give you happiness? He believed honoring his parents makes a happy life. The God question is the most basic question.
Why do you believe what you believe? Can you verbalise them, do you know what you believe? Ethics course making 20 papers: Euthonasia. Answer difficult questions: is there a just war? What makes a good marriage? When does life begin? Need to read varying opinions on each topic and land it and say what do I believe? It triggers really wanting to know the answers to these questions. I find myself still on this course today. My beliefs work and don’t work and calibrate them, with experience. These really are true.
What is your strategy to live out your beliefs? Applying and living my beliefs. His belief: Everyone is redeemable. Say sorry and correct.
I totally forgive you to almost kill me. Cheers of applause. I made many mistakes in my life and was forgiven many times. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a dramatic event to prove our beliefs are either in sync or not in sync with life.
His late wife in a note to a friend she didn’t send: I would do anything to have more of this guy's time. He said: God, if you ever give me another wife I will do differently. - He did and I have.
Many are afraid to talk about our beliefs not to offend others. We become belief starved. I call you back into the courtroom of truth: why are you alive, what do you believe, why and go live it. It is not too early and not too late.
His Soul was talking to my soul. This is what it is like when you have your personality meets with your Soul. Thank you Tim
Terrific - like your comment about personality connecting with the soul - very true! Trust you will lead from your core beliefs - you will be change, and cause change in others.
True. 100% Agree. Thanks
Great exercise!

I JUST LOVE HIM
Excellent talk Tim, I love to hear you share the wisdom that you have received from your heavenly Father. I always learn from you when you teach. Don't hold back your gifts.
Hey DVD - appreciate you taking time to watch this. Miss you my friend!
Love it, this man is full of wisdom.
Glad you enjoyed it Moataz...know the truth, and the truth sets you free!
this talk definitely deserves more attention it was completely brilliant especially when he shows the kid his family & shows him that all those people would've been so heart broken if anything were to have happened to him
Appreciate the encouragement! Yes, it was an incredibly powerful moment in the Chinese courtroom. I forgot to mention the judge's comment - "Mr. MacDonald, we've never seen an example of forgiveness in this courtroom". Where would any us of be without forgiveness?
@Tim MacDonald just bumped into this talk Mr.MacDonald. indeed this speech was great. Thank you for doing this 5yrs ago , which is impactful to someone like me checking it out 5yrs after 🙏 I'd love to learn more abt your learnings of life if you have a blog page or such.
It's very important to look inwards and to really ask yourself these questions. Powerful!
Mari- glad you enjoyed the talk. Trust you've had an opportunity to answer these yourself!
Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard about - Chiveard Discovering Potential Framework (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one off product for finding your true calling and achieving success minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my buddy after a lifetime of fighting got excellent success with it.
Excellent Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Chiveard Discovering Potential Framework (just google it)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for finding your true calling and achieving success without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my best friend Jordan got astronomical success with it.
This is beautiful
❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏💔💔💔I wish my husband had some interest to watch this kind of TED talks
Good speech, but the both cameras are overexposed
Can someone explain me how this video has so many views in compare to others who are not so valuable at all like this video? I also watched some really great videos that inspired me to change my life but all of them doesn't have as many views as they should. And please correct my grammar if something is false :)
Once we let go of all of our beliefs is the moment we find our true freedom!
interesting...
Glad you found this interesting...identifying and living what you believe makes for a fascinating life!
