How Hope Can Change Your Life | Amy Downs | TEDxOklahomaCity

- Can a person overcome the most difficult moments of their life? Amy Downs shows how people can not only survive, but how they can thrive if they have a hopeful mindset. The pathway of hope leads to all people creating a better future. Amy Downs was one of the last survivors to be pulled from the rubble of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing in which a total of 168 people were killed including 18 of her 33 co-workers. While buried alive and waiting to die, she realized she had never really lived. She began her career as a teller 32 years ago working for Federal Employees Credit Union located in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. At the time of the bombing, Downs was a credit card loan officer who flunked out of college and weighed more than 350 pounds. In the coming years, she’d not only lose 200 pounds, but become a triathlete-and even compete in an Ironman Triathlon. She’d not only go back to school, but she’d graduate with a Masters of Business Administration. She’d not only get promoted by Federal Employees Credit Union (who would soon change their name to Allegiance Credit Union) but she eventually became its CEO-an award winning CEO, no less. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
If you’re reading this I hope our 2021 be our best year
"Hope is as hollow as fear"
...or NOT...
Well I think that you should reconsider the fact that many new strains of the cause that worsened 2020 are being created, and I don’t think that it will embrace 2021 with hope; But still, I wish to.
That's what they said about 2020 lol
Thanks darling. Same to you
'I'm getting ready to die and I never even lived'.. I felt that
= ... I'm thinking like you!
I'm 23 year old male been diagnose with a incurable disease with 2 kids stuck in debt with a broken heart. I felt what she meant
Who gave that a thumbs down? I generally have no emotions, but even I had a tear in my eye at the end.
'Overwhelming Regret'; I felt you.
Your mindset is everything!!
"Hope is as hollow as fear" -lao tzu.

Congratulations! You should be SO proud!!
I am proud of you 👍
*In a world that is in constant change we have to learn to adapt in order to survive. Life keeps going on no matter what we think about change or what happens to us, either we adapt or we are going to be left behind.*
“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air...but only for one second without hope.”
Hope is an addictive and destructive hallucinogen, best to live in reality.
Hope is valuable, in minuscule homeopathic doses.
My note over the lecture:
i. It is not what happens to you, but how you choose to react to it, that matters.
ii. Response with the power of hope.
iii. I'm getting ready to die and I've never even lived.
iv. I begged God for a second chance.
v. Hope is the belief that your future can be better and brighter and that you actually play a role in making it better.
vi. With your current situation and current limitation, what's that path?
vii. Instead of focusing on what you can't do, focus on what you can.
viii. The simple exercise of what you can asking yourself, if I had a magic wand, what would I do with my current situation and current limitation.
ix. The best way to react and respond in this life is to respond with the power of hope.
Thank you for your notes! I’m going to use it for my guide to help myself. I need to pick myself up and try to believe in myself again.
We all need hope for the up coming year...Happy holidays
Speak for yourself. You been brainwashed into thunking hope is a good thing. Hope causes suffering. I choose acceptance.
Read this and began to sob
Happy holidays? Not for the people in Nashville, Christmas Day bombing 2020.

Genuinely inspiring. Thank you.
Sharing, Justice and Peace for All

Hope is a placebo for people with an abundance of emotions.
Placebos work for some people.
Tony do you think Alex Honnold would've been able to climb El Capitan if he had an abundance of emotion?
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Very powerful story. Thanks!
I remember the okc bombing. I lived an hour north in Stillwater.
I like her spirit ✨
Thank you!
I love her personality
Many commenters are confusing hope with expectation. It is expectation at the root of suffering. Hope is beautiful.
You can start by investing
Way to go! How inspiring 🍃

when someone say something about hope i remember about hope' s peak academy and the despair
This so good
hope must be followed by changing mindset.
Hope 💐
In fearful day, in raging night,
With strong hearts full, our souls ignite,
When all seems lost in the War of Light,
Look to the stars--
For hope burns bright!
Yes it's the blue lantern oath

Thoughts become things. Watch your thoughts! This universe is mental meaning everything is created by thought.
Some don’t have choices in how they respond.

Yes I hope my live... 🤔🙏👍👍👍☕🇮🇩
Whoever said hope is the solution 🙄 lived in a alternate reality 🙌
Hope is NOT a good thing. Where hope exists, acceptance can not.
It is a good thing, at least for me.
@@user-pl7tf9gv8e Hope is a desire of something obtained in the future. This is the recipe for suffering. Hope and fear are the same.
@@JaysonT1 Hope gave me inspirations to become the better *me* . The real hope would blow your mind. I had experienced it.
"Challenges" = lies. react with anger.
Hope is torture
I can imagine how she looks like in 1990s
Kinda like your mom.
@@JaysonT1 Hahahha
Someone call up j-hope and tell him he is on the right track with his message. Amazing
He is, Indeed😌
Could u pls include subtitles 🙏
i misread the title as "how dope can change your life" and i think that about sums it up...
Remedial math 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️

Where I should work fast where slow
I would have used the magic wand to prevent the bombing, not be better at my job... But that's just me.
Who else read dope instead of hope? 😅🤦🏻♀️
Your mom.
Grandma 😂
I didn't expect a sermon from TEDx today 🙄
Hope is the enemy actually.
Are you a proponent of fear and pain? Interesting.
Hope is so 2008.
Hope is not exactly an enemy, but more like a hinderance to understanding reality.
Instead of putting faith into ‘hope’ for a better outcome, we all need to ask yourselves, ‘Where am I?’ What could I do to improve the situation?’ and ‘What are the risks and benefits associated with each maneuver?’
There isn’t a magic wand...there is however random chance...and we forget that we have much better odds just by living in North America.
if we want a better World, an evangelical motivational talk is not going to do the trick.
In the 21st-century, we must start paying more attention to reality, the reality of the environment, the reality of the importance of energy, and the reality of just how simple our brains are to being tricked into thinking that we are something divinely magical.
It’s great that she made it out from under the rubble of a bomb blast... but there are hundreds of millions, if not billions of people in history that have not survived bomb blasts.
humans are incredibly naïve if they think they can magically will themselves into a better life on earth... or into a enlightened afterlife!
