- From Dream to Reality: Orly Wahba takes us on a personal journey; from the dream of a young child to change the world through the power of kindness, to the obstacles and challenges that helped her transform it into reality.
Orly Wahba is an educator, entrepreneur, and community activist passionate about inspiring and motivating people to make the world a kinder place. In 2011, Orly founded Life Vest Inside, a non-profit organization with a mission to empower and unite the world with kindness. Through Life Vest Inside, Orly encourages people to embrace the incredible power of giving and recognize that in times of hardship, kindness, like a life vest, keeps the world afloat.
LVI gained international acclaim when Orly’s award-winning film Kindness Boomerang went viral, receiving over 30 million views and counting and eventually landing her a spot to speak at TED2013 on the magic of kindness.
Orly began her career in kindness as a Middle School educator empowering children to embrace unity, build their self-value, and use their power to influence the world for good. As her kindness community grows by the thousands, more people are experiencing the addictiveness in the giving of kindness.
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
This past week I stopped after coming across these types of "kindness" videos, and they all inspired me to be kinder myself as a conscious daily action. So I set out to tell people that I work with some genuinely deserved praise....the look of their face was priceless to see someone recognizing their good nature, talents and humility. It set me on a journey do this as much as possible to as many people as possible daily! Kindness, lets spread it on!
Someone left me a random note in my bus door. It was words of kindness and brought tears to my eyes. Kindness is how I try and live through everyday
Going into the store hold open the door
For the one behind you maybe in a rush
Don't ignore the others as you did before
Smile when holding door they may blush
With a Smile your likely a friend to score
KINDNESS TO ALL.
NOT JUST KINDNESS TO HUMANS BUT TO ANIMALS AS WELL.
I love all my clients on my accessible bus and I carry the bus doggo treats for all the four legged I see along my day. ❤️
I like hunting but I believe in that if you put down an animal, do it in the most harmless way
Agree you carnivores lol
"Be KIND, for whenever KINDNESS becomes part of something it BEAUTIFIES it." - Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
amen brother if only all people remember that and also people that hide behind allah/god while doing acts of unkindness jesus the prophet muhammad and father Abraham would be proud of you for remembering that bless you from a christian brother
instablaster.
It feels like I'm dying I could so desperately use a small act of kindness from someone that knows anything about my reality please
We rise by lifting others.
Beautiful quote
In a world were people sometimes seem to be making a contest of which person is the toughest, I'm glad people like orly exist
We carry each other, the ripple effect works like magic. Be the change to see the change. 🌈🙏
I can relate
When I met my ex she had nothing
I sold my small home to buy a nicer homes with her
Years later she told me she wasn’t happy and wanted out of our marriage
I couldn’t afford to buy her out
So now at 61 I’m living with my mom and after she got her work comp settlement she bought a nice home and I lost everything
But it’s given me empathy for others so when I see the homeless I give them jackets and food and I’ve worked with Kiwanis to help the homeless
I’ve forgiven her not for her but for me
My whole story has made me realize I get more from helping other people than owning a home
Wow, you have quite the tragic life. I hope the best for you.
I never thought a comment would be so inspiring its so awesome to hear that you help people after everything you been though. I really hope the best for you. Thanks!
You're a really selfless person, giving up so much so that she could live a better life.
I'm proud of you.
We need more people like you.
Thanks for the post. 3 yrs ago my #3 of 4 sons came in our room one Monday Early AM, having narrowly missed a successful suicide attempt. He laid in the fetal position sobbing for hours upon hours, following us from room to room, day after day. So at 3am I move downstairs to my office and spent the next roughly 72 hours straight entrenched on the internet educating myself on our new world; Troubled Teens. God was faithful and led us to a world-class teen patient advocate. She was a psychologist, educational consultant, and legal advisor. One of her many critical support roles which was tracking around 50-75 Intervention Programs and knowing the absolute finest program for our specific set of challenges. By Thursday 3 days later, we were putting him in the programs van in Salt Lake City where he would stay, camping and packing Utah’s wilderness, living in a tent winter for well over 2 mos.
Then he needs more intensive work and spent 2 1/2 years at Troubled Teen Boarding School in Missouri. Where he began cutting himself, roughly 150-200 scars on each arm and shoulder and back. Causing 4 trips to Trauma Center and also making 4 attempts at taking his life. He entered a re-entry program in SLC giving essential skills for living. He then found cooking while working in the kitchen of a nice Steakhouse, his final last step. Finding your life’s passion and pursue it undaunted. He went to Culinary School for 9-mos and has a trade. He moved back last December to Virginia with his Mom, my ex.
My only dream in life was for a wife and kids, and support them thru an honest Career as a Project Manager in the Construction Industry specializing on bleeding edge, large-scale Landscape, then large-scale AV Systems.
Then, about 2 years in, my then wife left us to move back to where she grew up. And in many ways caused a riff in my other sons relationship with me.
I fell into a depression, deeper and deeper as I slept in hotels and b&bs. Last fall I had lost any control of my depression and Anxiety. I began ECT during the holidays and have since made great strides. Now, l like you, have found an even more empathetic me with a warmth for others I’d lost at a young age. Life will come back around.
This circumstance really sent me in a Dow
I pray that you don't mind but I shared this video with my group of Believers. It had such a strong message for me and was received such an amazingly positive response.
Service as a way of life... is the right way to go... serve and keep serving... give and never stop giving... so important... it is THE most important thing to do...I can't emphasize enough that it wrong to be selfish... be of service at all times...
Kindness… a very powerful think that I always have the intent to inject into my work and interactions with people. The world truly is great in kindness. Thank you for this video.
So beautifully spoken and what an even more beautiful message kindness can change everything be kind people be so kind! Spread it like wildfire!
Orly Wahba is so wonderfully kind and inspirational. A true gift to our beautiful planet
Its actually not that hard to be kind and its pretty worth it
Orly is one of my favorite people -- and we've never met!!!
Being straight forward is the new kindness
This is the one thing that could save the world. It is truly the single most important change we could make. I’ve always said, “we have the ability to make life great for everyone but we choose not to”. I wish this idea could go viral because it could literally save the world if everyone took it to heart.
Since I begun listening to Orly,i really get very much touched and feel moved to spread the word of kindness
Every time there is an NDE , the experiencer says adamantly that they felt totally connected to every soul that has ever been and will be forever.
One of the best talks. It was amazing.

Beautiful words that everyone has to listen to.
Just as beautiful as you :)
Yep, I need for this to have more views and to be recognized be other people around the world.
Amazing - she is giving me immense chill about how to see life. Also her voice is so calming.
I love to be kind to everyone and other species too. And I really love kind people. I hope kindness spreads every where in the world.
Truth is being spoken here. Listen and make up your own mind.
Kindness is not a business. True kindness expects nothing in return and should never act with conditions.
Yes.
What a kind person she is!
I think she differs so much from others. She is so genuine, everything she says really makes an impact. It's so pleasant to listen to her, probably partly due to her amazing soft/sweet voice.
I'm obviously wishing to be able to speak like her one day.
Also, does anyone know where exactly she is from? Yes, American of course.. but which state? To me she sounds slightly different than a 'normal' American speaker. I'm not from the USA so I have no idea about American dialects and accents.. I'd fairly appreciate hearing an explanation (:
And one last thing I'd like to say,
I hope you all have a bomb ass day !
Share kindness :)
Sophie TM.. Her accent sounds like a North Eastern US... New York, Boston, Rhode Island... Etc
she is from new york
you will, stop waiting
This definitely is putting tears in my eyes.
same
I can say the same
Thank you for being my inspirational life vest today. I will carry your words in my heart forever. I'm happy to be a part of your vision by following your advice in caring for me and others. ❤️🌏✌🏽
I wish I can comment on all the inspirational speeches I've viewed in the past few days. But I'm listening to this at work and I'll get in trouble for being on my phone. 😅 So I'll take this opportunity to thank all those who took the time to take part in these Ted Talks to give to world inspiration, hope, and much needed insights on how to cope and navigate in this chaotic world. Despite that chaos, folks like you bring calmness to bewildered souls and thus make this world a more beautiful and purposeful place to live. ❤️❤️❤️
You're so inspirational. Thank you for this message. Kindness is essential in this world.
Thank you so much for that...your work inspires me to follow in your footsteps and be the person I've always dreamed for myself and others
I'm captivated by the richness of this material. A book with comparable insights significantly widened my intellectual horizon. "Kindness Unveiled: A Journey to a Happier Life" by why i live a happy life
I Honestly Believe you are my soul sister. Today is Good Deeds Day and I just Organized this event for my town. I pray that this can help shift everyones perspective and bring smiles to many
it's almost like she is talking about my life... just different events, different realizations, but the same goal... being kind to others.
and yeah, this video needed a comment to get it out there for the world to see it again..
Beautiful Woman with a Beautiful Message!
Thanks 🙏 and what a lovely ‘find’ at this time in March if 2022 ❤️
What a beautiful talk. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insights. Thank you for your inspiration. Thank you for your zeal, hope, determination and wonderful kindness! I appreciate you.
What a great message to share. Thank you for doing this Tedx Talk. It is exactly what we represent and talk about here at Car Lot Confessions
Orly! You are a beautiful person! 🙌
One of the best TED talks I've seen! 😃
What a beautiful message. I believe in kindness, and ure a proof. So glad I found this video. Thank you so much. So so much💖
Thank you for being such an amazing catalyst for Kindness. I humbly hope to pass on Kindness because it's more than important it's necessary to keep breathing in this world of uncertainty and often cruel common practices because of the reality we experience. Perhaps finding you today was my moment to do more and be more for myself and others.
This is so inspiring, so beautiful.
I dreamt that the Pyramids were built to Symbolize that we are all a part of the Peace, Pieces of the Puzzle & many Politicians & leaders may be the Puzzlers confusing the Peace...However this was just a dream. Love & Light to all .2019
Amen getting involved in your Community,!
Love this. showed to my kids by stopped at 16:56 because of discussion of taking lives for fourth graders. I was comfortable and lifted up by the beginning :)
I love your story and message- so moving - so inspirational. You are amazing! ❤️
Deeply inspiring talk! I, too am a dreamer, a believer and a teacher. I honor your courage and perseverance in moving your mountain. I am shoveling my mountain and have felt tired and discouraged, but I believe every word you say and know that kindness is the key to change the world, and it does start within. I agree with the Dalai Llama when he says, "My religion is kindness." Thank you Orly you have reminded me to shine my light of kindness and encourage others to do the same. Many Blessings and deep gratitude to you!

Thank you for sharing! Everything happens for a reason and I was meant to watch your talk today. Thank you for being my missing piece.
What a great presentation. If each of us takes some time to think about kindness, and make the world a bit better, we can change the world.
Another beautiful soul❤

Thank you Orly. At one stage of your story I wondered if you were sharing my story. The details might be different, but the message is the same. Perhaps it's time to share my own story
Wow, thank you so much!

Those 20 minutes
Just love it 💞

ORLY!!!!!!!! I LOOOOVVVEE YOU!!!!
Try to be kind but keep in mind that may not be what's needed.
Orly you open my eyes
Thank You ❤️
Awesome!
Being Nice is helping and being there for people for a benefit, being Kind is the same but they don’t do it for Riches or Reputation, they do it because it’s the right thing, it’s their moral and because they care for the person
beautiful words 😍😍
I love this woman
We need to bring kindness back into politics and business
Great video!! Be blessed.
By allowing our wrong actions or the wrong actions of others (life) to badly affect us God gives all of us the opportunity to bring relief to others or ourselves by displaying acts of kindness ... ... ... expressions of His love. When asked why a man had been born blind, Jesus replied that it was in order for the glory of God to become manifest. This glory became partly manifest every time others treated the man kindly. It became even more manifest when Jesus was able to use God’s power to kindly cure him of his blindness.
This is awesome!
From this moment on, I will tidy up the sink area at the truck stops I fuel at.
Love is though Freely Given And At Is Also Is The Most Some Say "Its Pricless".. Both Are True... For it is Worth So Much That it is not for sale... It means so much it everything to you... So now.. That You Know... How More THAN WORDS ARE NEEDED... TO EXPRESS IT, TO SAY IT, Felt And Know... Tell What it is to you .. when i express And Give this This ... My love For you.... Holding nothing back.... I Still Have Love i Have All The Love You Given To Me.. There Is a personal love That given to each and one Of All.... 1 Part Is Love in fullness and also The Love for each and one Of All...
Yes !! live in the absolute now. Give grace and kindness to those within REACH :) much love and light to all
mean much
Kindness ❤️🦜✝️
Gratitude 💜🖤✨
thank you you did well
So so so good!
Where I live people would rather die than be kind.
me too
Bro, how come this has only 100 thousand views. 😥
Go Orly!!!!! mega!
I Do !🌎
My plan ever day is to stand with Jesus on the platform of Truth. His Word. His Ten Commandments. To develop Christlike character in loving others for their salvation. Kindness = mercy. And I see my need for the courage and strength that comes from the Holy Spirit.
_You are not alone._
😉

one of the best ted talks ever
i wish there was a chat room for this subject , cause i have a lot of questions, one of them is , there are people who wants to take advantage of you for your kindness other people wants to use you for your kindness what to do about it , and another question is there are people who you tell them about the good they do but they always tell you the bad in you , another question is there is something sometimes i feel bad when i give and help someone and that person doesnt value what you did and they dont thank for what you did and it kinds of make you feel bad cause you are thinking how ungrateful they are , so anybody please give me a piece of advise on this one please ,,,,, thanks in advance
