This is about the mindset of sufficiency and gratitude. I loved this talk it brought me to tears. “What you appreciate... appreciates.” Thank you for this wise and insightful talk
Dear Lynne. I am cleaning out my “stuff” today. Letting go so others can enjoy what I’ve kept in boxes. And this Ted Talk came up. I wondered if this was The Hunger Project Lynne Twist.. (It sure looked like the beautiful Hunger Project Lynne Twist!). I soon learned that it is! You see, I worked at The Hunger Project for 6 months-could it possibly be almost 40 years ago! You sat down with me because I was struggling. I still have the handwritten piece of yellow paper you wrote up during our meeting-it was my “Well-being Project”. I’ve often mentally referred to that meeting as I’ve journeyed through my life to check back in when I’m feeling overwhelmed. So nice to be able to tell you that now. You were such a beautiful being then. And you still are. I am honored to have crossed paths with you so many years ago. And as usual, your talk is perfectly timed for me as I confront “retirement” and financial constraints. This is the perfect reminder. Thank you SO much!!
Money is like water, it flows, it cleans, it purifies, it cleanses, it rushes, it heals, it hyrdates others. WHen it is held, it gets stagnants, it gets sick, it becomes poisionos and noxious, it doesn't get an opportunity to help others that don't have any water. YOU DON"T NEED TOOOOO MUCH WATERRRRRR> YOU NEED ENOUGH FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING. If you let go of getting more of what you already need, it EXPANDS. What you appreciate, appreciates.
I randomly stumbled upon this today. By a large margin, this is at the top of my list as one of the most wholesomely beautiful and inspiring videos I have ever seen. I really needed to hear this. I appreciate the speaker Lynne for dedicating so much to helping others, for this great presentation, and inspiring me. And Gertrude for sharing her wisdom that night at that church to Lynne, a carrier of hope.
Truly moved by this talk! It proves that whatever you do with sincerity, truth & for the right reasons, is what truly adds value. Not things you do to look good or to alleviate guilt! Thank you for this inspiring lesson!
This is the most touching TED talk ever. The way how the speaker thinks about money really moved me and changed my perception about money. I would share it to people who are financially rich (a circumstance) but mentally poor (a state of mind) which I used to be.
Very moving topic, thank you. Speaker's dramatic lecturing style is a big + sign for her presentation; I like every word of her speech. Where was I back in last 5 years when this speech took place? 🤔
Money itself has no value. It is the energy and intention WE assign to money that gives it life. Better to activate our money with energy that affirms life instead of depreciating it. Thank you Lynne Twist for beautiful examples of this through your sharing from the heart.
money DOES have value. the very definition of money is something that is portable, divisible, and a store of value. PAPER FIAT CURRENCIES like the Dollar or Euro are not a store of value
We call this baraka . If you donate if you help you will have more …. the more you give the more you will receive. In Arabic (or Muslim) countries we name this baraka, I’ve experienced it and it’s also about having a mindset open to give and to receive . The women you met said it all “money flows like water it’s a currency “ We have to be grateful for all the things we have if we appreciate them we will have this enoughness sense. Greetings from France 😊
What an outstanding talk. Saved to watch again and often. Thank you to Ms. Geraldine for reframing the way I think about money as well. Bless you for sharing today!
This is a pivotal talk for all of us to consider how our actions and our relationship to money can impact the society in which we live. Thank you Lynne Twist for your heartfelt talk at TEDxBerkeley.
The $600.00 was worth more than $50,000.00! I know how it feels. Sometimes I experience similar thoughts when I get gifts from different people. It's true that a $1.00 gift from a sincere and humble person, who gave it to me out of heart's desire, always feels more precious than a $1000.00 gift from a rich person, who could care less for me and gave me the gift out of duty. Sweet story, beautiful woman!
What a beautiful and moving talk ❤ it seems like those who don't have much, are always willing to give. And those that do have, seem to be scared, and hold onto what they have.
Your talk resonated and moved me so much and it made me sob out loud! Especially because I returned from Zimbabwe 2 weeks ago. The people there in low financial circumstances are so beautiful, happy and welcoming. Thank you Lynn for such an inspiring message.
I didn’t expect this to be as impactful as it was. I love when she said money flows through our lives and the word picture that comes with that statement. I already wrote that on my white board as a reminder to let goodness and generosity flow through my life and will be thinking how to apply this ❤
Thank you so much for this! I'm in a financial mess. Its my own fault. unfortunately I cant do what I want for work so I'm going to spend the next few weeks thinking about what to do. I was middle class but that recently changed. I'm strong from working hard my whole life and I will figure it out.
As a Freemason, we meet on the level. Equal in every way, money means nothing, friendship company and a strong bond are the greatest things in the world.
Money is just like water. It flows through every life. It doesn’t belong to any of us. It belongs to all of us or none of us. Some of us have a rushing river, and some of us have just a little trickle. Money is a carrier, and that’s why it’s a currency. It’s our job to pass it on to do the most good for the most people.
When it flows, it purifies, it makes things green. When it’s stagnant, it’s poisonous and makes us sick. If you let go of trying to get more of what you don’t need
This is about the mindset of sufficiency and gratitude. I loved this talk it brought me to tears. “What you appreciate... appreciates.” Thank you for this wise and insightful talk
Such an amazing lesson. Thanks lady. You are a pro. Hats off..
💝💝💝
❤🙌
i would like to add satisfaction to sufficiency, appreciation and gratitude.
Lynne, thank you. As someone who grew up poor, the first minute of this talk meant EVERYTHING.

I was spellbound. I feel changed & empowered but also humbled. I’m going to process & internalize this. Thank you Lynn & Gertrude!
"What you appreciate, appreciates." Great talk Lynne!

Humbling talk
Money is just like water.
It flows through every life.
It doesn’t belong to any of us.
It belongs to all of us or none of us.
Some of us have a rushing river, and some of us have just a little trickle.
Money is a carrier, and that’s why it’s a currency.
It’s our job to pass it on to do the most good for the most people.
When it flows, it purifies, it makes things green.
When it’s stagnant, it’s poisonous and makes us sick.
If you let go of trying to get more of what you don’t need
If you recognize you are enough and have enough, rather than living in the mindset of scarcity of trying to get more of what you don’t really need.
Very emotional lynn very humane
Thanks
