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!
"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.
What a brilliant woman. She manages to do in a few minutes what so many self-proclaimed "life coaches" don't achieve in their entire career. She is a force of nature and a true leader. All my respect goes out to you, Evy Poumpouras.
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.
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🎉
My motivation to keep going was my daughter. Since she died by suicide I have struggled with much of what you talk about. I agree with much of what you say though and will try and take it on board. Thankyou. I think I needed to hear this today
My dear, may you have a piece in your heart. Please, be strong for your daughter's memory. I know you will heal and bring light and kindness to this world.
Hi, I'm dealing with the same issue. Sometimes, I get angry that my son killed himself, and took himself away from me. And to love him, is to love his murderer. It gets complicated and all offering of help doesn't matter anymore because it's too late. It's such a tragedy to lose a child by suicide. It is important not to turn it into an identity and be resilient. Being in awareness of the present moment helps a lot.
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!
this podcast is saving my journey to the will of success. Thank you so much Evy. I really love this modest approach away from the absolute need of feeling special, motivated, confident, and healed to reach anything we want.
I love the way she closes her speech and how she explained that when it’s our time to leave, did we really live? Will we regret anything? I think that’s so empowering & how we don’t need confidence or motivation to achieve what we want to achieve. Although, her statements are a different perspective, I needed to hear it. Im very grateful this came across my feed. Such a strong, beautiful woman & story.
I was praying every morning like '' I release everything that is holding me back''. I would never thought seeking for motivation, confidence were the holding me back. Also she is so right when she said the movitation and the confidence is coming when you got there...
Evy, really. It takes guts, conviction, confidence, and yes healing! This is your journey and you made yourself special by telling people they don’t need to be special.
The work of Evy Pompouras speaks for itself. But I would like to add one thought. For me, resilience is not a return to the status quo before the stressor came, but a growth in the face of stress and a newfound self.
I have heard many talks/ discussions on this topic. You made those look like waste of time. Thank you for the best ever approach to a very important issue.
Food for thought re resilience and RECOVERY! 👀 That's the bit I've not given myself permission to do, recover! I was the queen of burnout. Today's society doesn't reward down time, only go time..... This was what I needed to hear today ❤️
I felt a certain way when listening to this. And the emotion was familiar. Took a look at the presenter's name and realized I read her book a couple of years ago. Her words of wisdom are so inspiring - in the book, on the stage, and I'm certain for those luck enough to attend, within her mentor sessions as well. This was fantastic!
Evy thank you from the bottom of my heart. From an (used to be) eternal seeker of confidence to do things that I deep down know I am more than capable of. The way you delivered the message with conviction and no nonsense way just struck me like nothing I’ve ever heard before. I am not special and because of that I am not alone. Thank you.
the way that she kept my attention thru eery single words from the minute she started !!!! I need to read her book!!! What a unbelievable message!!! thank you for the lesson
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 😊
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.
Powerful 18 minutes and compete facts!!!! Motivation, confidence and desire are buzzwords thrown around like they have some power over us. The truth is we don't need jack $hit to accomplish what we want to achieve. We have been duped into this stereo type that leaves us feeling small and inadequate. Just start doing!
i am amazaed by this woman iam shocked that this person told us something that we should all know she cleared the cloud and the fog that surrounded our brain
"...that when you do things, that's when confidence and motivation come in..." this is what i really needed to hear. "We become what we think of ourselves. And it manifests through our mind into our body, and that's what we show to the world. You are nobody's prey..." "You don't need to heal to be resilient"... "The more difficult things you get to do in life, the more resilient you become"... "Did I live? Am I okay to go?"... "I have no confidence in everything that I did, I did it anyway"...
that is very true, you get recovered faster and faster and faster after the trauma, and now I know it can be called resilience, thanks for the sharing of your deliberate wisdom, it resonates so much with me ❤❤❤
I had the same 2 time NDE feelings. First one was epic, did not want to go even said fu to God. Then the next time after I had my first comfortable living situation I said I think I could die happy now. I've learned to not comment about that topic any longer. I really appreciate your wisdom. Thank you for sharing
Evy you summed up life in most thought provoking and empowering way. I was not expecting this as I clicked on your video. So many nuggets you shared. Your perspective is fresh and resonates. All the best to you and your family!
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.☮️
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
I wish I'd have seen this before I watched the entire (strange) video. Thanks for listing the headings.
❤
@@EdelweisSusieYes, but we miss context.
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 cannot help but laugh at the crumbs and tears, lol. Glad she touched you and left you with what could possibly be a viral pic/video😁.
Love this❤felt this❤
"Sandwich and purpose"
I'm filled with okra and purpose I can relate 🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️
Haha
Are you supposed to eat on the subway? It's a nice sentiment, but, crumbs? You're not that Special, ey? 😊
This is how I remember TED talks used to be. She served straight-up awesomeness.
For real
If Evy is on stage, you know it will be great
1. You are not that special
2. You are not alone
3. Confidence is overrated
4. Motivation = mediocrity
5. You’re nobody’s prey
6. Your fear is not you
7. You don’t need to heal to be resilient

This will definitely become a million views TedTalks. Very practical and encouraging.
Life to the Little Ones 🙂↕️
Exactly

"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.
☮️🥰🦋
Anyways isn’t a word 😝
It’s always been and will only ever be, *anyway* .
"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.
What a brilliant woman. She manages to do in a few minutes what so many self-proclaimed "life coaches" don't achieve in their entire career.
She is a force of nature and a true leader. All my respect goes out to you, Evy Poumpouras.
Take action, get more confidence, take bigger action, get bigger confidence.
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!
You just got your 50th subscriber because of this comment 🎉
"I am nobody's prey.' Thank you so so much Evy. I needed this right now.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It's amazing that you are here and trying to feel better.
My dear, may you have a piece in your heart. Please, be strong for your daughter's memory. I know you will heal and bring light and kindness to this world.

I'm so sorry for your loss. A hug if you accept it
This woman is so inspiring and tough. I could listen to her speak alllllll day long!
I love Evy Pompadouras. She is the freaking boss
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! 🐜
This is one of the best TED Talks I have ever heard in my life. Wow. I am speechless and by the looks of it, the audience was too. Well done, Evy.
God, I hope this Ted talk goes on forever 😭
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.
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.⭕️
Definitely, one of the best Ted talks!
100% YES!!!

Incredible Evy.... you just saved a lot of people. I also lost my dream in 9/11...... just loved what you said.
The work of Evy Pompouras speaks for itself. But I would like to add one thought. For me, resilience is not a return to the status quo before the stressor came, but a growth in the face of stress and a newfound self.
how perfect how beautiful she spoke i'm obsessed with her accent, her advices anything about her
I read her book, watched her speak and she never disappoints. Always learning something from her. Thank you
We’ve been blessed! A new Evy TED talk 🙏🙏🙏 she’s the best
She hit all the points. Outstanding speech.
I have heard many talks/ discussions on this topic. You made those look like waste of time. Thank you for the best ever approach to a very important issue.

I'm recently trying to find the passion for finishing a project I don't feel passionate about, but I know I need to do it. Thank you for your talk.
Evy is right on all points. She empowers us to move forward. I have the utmost respect for her. I have her book, it’s a great read. 💪
She is very practical, she is different from all other speakers in the world. I liked 🎉
Wow this is one of the best ted talk ever! Heart and Mind touching, what a Woman!!!

Thank you.
One of the times I thanked the algorithm for showing this to me. I needed this. Thank you, Evy! 💚💖
Thank you I needed to hear this😢❤❤❤❤❤

The most realistic advice ever!
Literally sobbing.. so good
Thank you Evy.
Adding this to my replay list....I need this reminder til it sticks
One of the best TEDx Talks! 💯💯💯
One of the best Ted talks ever!!
She's amazing ! 💯 👏🏻
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".

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!❤❤❤
Evy Poumpouras is always very inspiring.
What a massive talk👏 i gave my undivided attention to it till the end
This is FABULOUS and so real. At last somebody with truth within. THANK YOU
Evy Poumpouras, you are phenomenal.
She is sooooo amazng! Every word should be written in STONE
Just one word....WOW!
Each point resonates 💛
Gave me chills! So good!
Thank you so much Evy!! So powerful ❤
I’m glad that I’ve heard what she got to say.
So well spoken ❤
This just put so much I. Perspective for me. Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this talk Evy! “I am not special and I will not be the world’s prey!!”💪🇬🇷
I watched this video twice. Both times it teared me up
I love her! Clear, honest and precise ❤
She is so good, I’m happy I listened to the whole thing. This was amazing.
What a gift you left us here Evy❤
"Spend all your energy and burn out, that is the solution to everything!" It works for some people, but not for all.
Honestly 99% of speakers apparently do not know and/or mention the most important part. She is one of them.
watch it again
What do you think is the important part
This WOMAN IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT !!!! ❤❤❤
Love this version of Evy. 👏🏻
My mind is blown. Amazing talk.
Evy is a real motivator for the Gen-Z 😍 I'm proud of her
Superb. Evy is an incredible woman. Her book is fabulous too.
Thank you, Evy, for such a powerful speech!
Awesome message.
Thank you evy! I cannot thank you enough for what you shared in this Ted talk.
Wow, It is so so inspiring, that's absolutely everything I needed to hear today. Thank you Evy Poumpouras for that.
Many thanks! It's one of the best speeches from Ted ❤
Powerful ❤
Evy is 🔥
The best! Thank you Eve, TED X and UA-cam. On to being and doing. 😊
Beautiful speech
