Most people are way sensitive to almost everything. Feeling not good enough is like a plague that eats you up from within. Sense of self-worth is tremendously important and the way to retain the element of Self-worth is to realise you had better to quit comparing yourself with those around you; to admit you do not have to pretend to be someone you're not. We have no Idea how powerful and strong we can feel once we cease to follow in the footsteps of those who we mistakenly consider perfect. It equips us with extremely positive energy to see and acquiesce ourselves for who we're.
Hey Arshad, David shouting out back in agreement, and what's more is that THE greatest gift anyone can develop daily presenting him or her self with Arshad is true,honest self acceptance.
Childhood trauma that parents have never realised how bad they can cause their own child. Always considered what your child will think or feel. Telling your child with the sentence "it's not your fault" is really important.
GREAT REALIZATION, you reclaimed what you always were, but now you know it! "Making mistakes, is intelligence having fun, in the process of realization." ~Christopher Arthur Minor. Without realizing what we are not, we can not know what we are. "The concept that making mistakes is wrong, is like measuring the value of a fish, by its ability to climb a tree." ~Christopher Arthur Minor. As can be seen by this example, they are absent of thinking, yet we were told these idiots were wise. Now that is funny!
The secret to being enough is knowing you deserve peace of mind at all times and refusing to tolerate what makes you toxic to yourself because what genuinely gives you peace is what is right.
We are so proud of you Nadine. From the very first time you stepped on stage we knew that you were going to do amazing things with your life. Thank you for your constant courage, your bravery, and your ability to be confidently vulnerable. Your service to others is inspiring to our entire team! Together we are stronger! Much love!
3 lessons 1. forgive yourself 2. walk with faith and trust, not by sight 3. accept yourself, your mistakes, that your mistakes don't define you focus on your strengths and positive characteristics to see who you truly are instead of asking yourself "why me?", ask yourself "why not me?"
Your testimony is phenomenal. Seeing you speak in person at Longfellow middle today was a blessing ! I don't know how many lives you touched today but I promise you that some of those 7th graders heard your words and will now know that they are enough and that there are people that really want to help. Thank you Nadine.
Using drugs or alcohol is only a symptom. Finding out why we started using is so important, Mine was a lack of being connected and I would say the majority of could say the same thing. I have also learned that there is a lot of power in forgiveness "Complete Forgiveness" that means no more I forgive you but I won't forget. Again total forgiveness. But forgiving myself was so much harder, My forgiveness came though helping others and working on myself to be the person I wanted to be. And I will never allow myself to quit growing as a person .
I did it for social acceptance. I don’t really regret it. I met brothers from those experiences, they’ve done so much for me. I’m no longer a drug user cause it was not really me that time, I didn’t even like weed or alcohol.
@@SyNcLife There is good and bad in all of us we definitely have a choice on who we want to be. The biggest thing I think is finding out what it iss that gives our lives meaning without it life can beat you down and make you resentful and bitter. I always looked for the next right thing to do.
@@treefrog0826 Just the next right thing to do even if you don't really know whats the greater meaning of your life? Thats pretty simple and may make the search for meaning obsolete...
Being 14 1/2 years clean and sober and tell my testimony as much as I can, I'm spook proud of you and the strength you have. You're spook awesome and it comes out in you along with your passion. You're blessed and I love you!!
I had seen this ted talk before, but today it hit me harder than before, because this woman"s bravery is amazing, to talk about her dark secrets in front of so many people and not give a f,,,, she is priceless she is making the world a better place. God bless her soul for helping others.
@@nadine.speaks Your welcome, I also had an addiction so this talk got me in the heart, God bless. I did not know you had your own UA-cam channel I just subscribed and I would love it if you could check out mine, I am bilingual and I have videos in Spanish and English.
Starting at 5:35, good point, when you're initial worries go away, see if they are being covered or distracted by something that makes you feel good. So, stay focused, it's ok to have worries and issues, find ways to accept those and ways to help them instead of trying to avoid them or find a way to just feel good.
"Spoke my truth".....27 years in recovery and I am just now discovering this.....thank you for bringing this message and sharing your strength and wisdom.
"Forgiveness, trust, and acceptance" A great life story. We all have something to share. Our stories are lessons for ourselves and others; thus, we all should share our stories. The other thing is to practice forgiveness we have to practice forget. Every and each one makes mistakes. We make mistakes because of emotion or bad spirits or whatever. So, We should not punish the person; we should not see criminals. Thank you!
Very well said! Very inspiring! So proud of this woman and her continued success! I love the saying “instead of saying why me, ask yourself why not”. So insightful...
i relate. Growing up, be the proud daughter of my parents, an admirable person to my friends, objectively I achieved a lot.but I am still unhappy and keep feeling worthless and self-loth because I never feel good enough. I always tell myself that you could work harder and you should have done better. Every time I find myself weak at Something, I panic and feel so anxiety. This has to stop
i felt the same, people looked up to us and that gave tremendous pressure that is not healthy for our mental health. It's ok to make mistakes. No one is perfect
Nadine, you are so brave. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Not many people can do that, only those who have heald and found what they realy are inside. That is ENLIGHTENMENT and I am glad that you found the light and now you are enlighten others, ease their pain and show the way. You tought me too: Forgivness, Acceptance and Trust. Thank you!
I want to thank every person for your honesty, it just goes to show us that when someone can be real and authentic with us, we can be authentic ourselves. We get to see them through their transparency and discover ourselves in them, what a blessing.
It is through our authentic openness of our hearts, that we find ourselves in each other. Without our hearts directing our lives, we are just conceptual human beings in a carbon based organic computer called the human mind. This is why we have no humanity as a culture, the whole culture is based on concepts, not living breathing human beings, in a magical whole of living beings.
Thankfully i’m not going through any drug issues but this video was soooo touching to me right now. Literal tears falling down my face lol thank you for waking me tf up. ❤️
You are very welcome! You must have so much compassion. I know that sometimes it can be difficult to understand others trials at such a deep level but you are doing an amazing job! Keep smiling through all of it.I know from experience it can be tough. Hopefully you've been able to find a good balance to know you don't have to solve everyone's problems but to offer advice, support, and a listening ear while letting God support you to do it is the best thing I've ever done.What have you done to manage all the things and people you are helping?Much love,Kate
That's a great question, Kate! Yes, it sometimes can be difficult to not bring others problems or situations home with you. For me, I spend time constantly reminding myself that "I can only do so much." -- I show up, I speak truth, I support, I pray, I give advice, I provide resources, and then it's up to them to do the rest. Taking care of myself FIRST, is a must!!
THIS MESSAGE IS TO ALL OF YOU, PRECIOUS YOUNG PEOPLE, FROM YOUR ADOPTED GRANDMA: I AM TOO MOVED EMOTIONALY BY ALL OF YOU, SO, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT: JESUS SAID: “ LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, AS YOURSELF” ALL OF YOU, ARE L O V E !
Well done. I suggest for about a year, she goes and does something compelling that has nothing to do with drug recovery, something she might have learned and got good at if she had never had a drug issue. We can be addicted to being concerned with the whole problem. That's how we know we are really free.
Thank you for being a real person up there. Your story rings true for me in different but mainly similar ways. You are a talented speaker who mastered how to connect with others through your words and presence. I hope you’re proud! Best wishes...
I hope I’ll have the courage to follow you in accepting myself and forgiving myself, and in trusting the path that I’m on is a good one. I don’t know how I’ll do it but I really hope I, and anyone in need of self-love and inner peace can, one day, accept themselves. Thank-you:)
I went through an identity crisis at 17. This is normal. We all want to fit in at that age. I did not take drugs, I went to a therapist and she helped me. Hopefully people will ask for help when they get into a bad situation. But culturally speaking, American society doesn't help people as much as it should. Anyway, glad you are still with us in this human world. AND GOOD LUCK to everyone who gets into a bad situation.
Thank you for your true story, Nadine. In the past, I were always searching in myself alone, but it was getting worse when I couldn't find anything. I believed it's fate. Forgiveness, Trust & Acceptance. You throw me a light. I'll try to share with others. Thank you again.
So well done, Nadine! It really surprised me to hear the two extremes together...of how well you were doing in school and how awful you were feeling inside. It goes to show how you we never know how another person is feeling judging from the outside. Sometimes I see people who seem so 'together' and I make the assumption that their life is easier than mine. Trying not to do that anymore. Thank you for your sharing. I have no doubt whatsoever that you are making others' journeys easier, and helping them find a path to a fulfilling life.
Thank you so much for sharing that. I believe we often portray what we want others to see but decide to hide the truth because the truth is scary. Being vulnerable is scary.
Thank you for sharing your story, and helping so many find the courage to exercise their voice as well. My high school years were the WORST. I would've loved to have you as a friend. It's crazy how our most toughest darkest times make our identities. How we decide to tell our stories (as victims or as writers) will definitely change this world. Thank you for your energy! Sending you much love! ♥
I fell in love with your brutal honesty in the intro!💜💜💜💜💜💜 Every sentence hitting my soul. this is what life is about and most importantly what social media is about! Being transparent so that others can have Faith and hope for tomorrow. I loved every second of this speech.
Tnx to the blessing of the social web we no longer have to physically look for a recovery but instead we can now watch from a far on someone with similar thoughts, we can see our actions with in there story, I too share a struggle of not feeling enough, now I can face certain struggles by letting go certain things in my life that helped me fight certain obstacles once again to gain control of my life, it's still hard to face things but I know I am not alone and that were stronger then what we believe is impossible can be made possible by faith we trust.
Not good enough Is the main theme of my life , not good enough for my father, or any man I ever dated , at work , it’s just such a self fulfilling prophecy for me
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. THANK YOU MY HEAVENLY FATHER!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏽🥀🌹😁 I'm sending this Alton 27 Alcoholics Anonymous members during the quarantine. Thank you so much.
Something that is my reality right now . Has been a number of months at the very least . But probably years of I really think about it . Being good enough that is 💔
And there is a lady I really like but I've hurt her with some words . I really am sincere and I miss her . Still talk to her but it's distant and she said I will have to gain her trust her again. Miss the closeness we once had . She was one thing / and is one thing that is really good left . I am a Christian . I want a second chance too . God bless you ❤
I hope you get that second chance. Often times we have to work extra flippin hard for it but if it's Gods plan, it will go exactly how He wants it too.❤ I'm glad you got to hear this message.
You are just so so brave Nadine. Thanks for putting yourself out there. Thanks for setting an example to millions of us who's voices are so burried that finding courage as such as yours seem impossible. Thanks for being unapologetically honest. ❤❤❤
Thank you for being so brave to stand in front of so many people and reveal the things you did you were not proud of and also for showing the vulnerability to say you were about to take your own life to help others who are going through the same problems but do not have the courage to speak about them openly, God bless your sister who was that helping hand at the right time. You are a true hero, unlike the fake ones in the movies because you are doing what is difficult to help others.
@@nadinemachkovech3900 My apologies, I had not seen this comment till today and it says it is 6 months old, sometimes either my computer or UA-cam does not notify me, cause trust me if I would have seen your comment, I would have responded right away.
Wow, this astute comment put things in a whole new light for me! I somehow never made that connection, always assuming I felt like not enough because of bad choices, never considering that it's much easier to make bad choices when one feels like you deserve them.
We are the generation that will act different from our parents, that will make a change. because we are more aware of trumas and disorders. I have a good feeling about us. The key for a good change, i believe, is awareness and education. Stregthen the people. People are so important. Sometimes education can be as simple as our acts on daily basis . How we choose to act and give example to others
I am changing my mind set I felt every thing you said it s like God talking to me just yesterday I made up my mind to change myself and no one is going to do it for me , I don’t have anyone to turn up to with my problems but I have God’s support which I believe is enough to save me from all those mental traumas and old believe I made a decision with myself once I will be able recover fully and ch age my mind set and not let any of those haunting thoughts come near me , I will would definitely want to share my story to help others I would definitely want to be a part of risemovement and Ted talk Amen 🙏🏾

So True ...We are all Recovering from something ...
WOW. That's soo true-"we are all recovering from something"
Uh-huh . Recovery is sweet revenge though .
3 lessons
1. forgive yourself
2. walk with faith and trust, not by sight
3. accept yourself, your mistakes, that your mistakes don't define you
focus on your strengths and positive characteristics to see who you truly are
instead of asking yourself "why me?", ask yourself "why not me?"

Thank you; it was a long time coming.
So sad.
Thank you
Thankyooou
Thanks, shes making such a big drama about her self..nobody cares for her trauma, everybody has its own…
Her pain and passion is just found through her speech and movement, absolutely remarkable and worthy to spend time on the video👌

You are just so so brave Nadine. Thanks for putting yourself out there. Thanks for setting an example to millions of us who's voices are so burried that finding courage as such as yours seem impossible. Thanks for being unapologetically honest. ❤❤❤
Thank you --- Nadine -- leave to learn... And you are a good example
this woman is strong.
Thank you...! So much..!
Thank you for being so brave to stand in front of so many people and reveal the things you did you were not proud of and also for showing the vulnerability to say you were about to take your own life to help others who are going through the same problems but do not have the courage to speak about them openly, God bless your sister who was that helping hand at the right time. You are a true hero, unlike the fake ones in the movies because you are doing what is difficult to help others.
That means the world to me. Thank you💛
@@nadinemachkovech3900 My apologies, I had not seen this comment till today and it says it is 6 months old, sometimes either my computer or UA-cam does not notify me, cause trust me if I would have seen your comment, I would have responded right away.
Thanks so much for sharing. When we feel unworthy, we often make destruction life decisions. I appreciate this video so much!
Wow, this astute comment put things in a whole new light for me! I somehow never made that connection, always assuming I felt like not enough because of bad choices, never considering that it's much easier to make bad choices when one feels like you deserve them.
We are the generation that will act different from our parents, that will make a change. because we are more aware of trumas and disorders. I have a good feeling about us. The key for a good change, i believe, is awareness and education. Stregthen the people. People are so important. Sometimes education can be as simple as our acts on daily basis . How we choose to act and give example to others
Bravo. Be the kind of friend that lays down their life for a good community family and every little thing gonna be alright! It'll work out!
Absolutely💛

I am changing my mind set I felt every thing you said it s like God talking to me just yesterday I made up my mind to change myself and no one is going to do it for me , I don’t have anyone to turn up to with my problems but I have God’s support which I believe is enough to save me from all those mental traumas and old believe I made a decision with myself once I will be able recover fully and ch age my mind set and not let any of those haunting thoughts come near me , I will would definitely want to share my story to help others I would definitely want to be a part of risemovement and Ted talk Amen 🙏🏾
