The Power of Intention | Vanessa Wideski | TEDxYouth@GranvilleIsland 

This Ted talk demonstrates what is possible if we stop making excuses; and be honest about who were are & what we want from our life. I know that giving up or embracing cynicism is a lot easier and safer than putting yourself on the line, and truly giving everything you are capable of. What an inspiring life story. 🙂

Get clear with what you want, know that you can do it and take action to make it happen!

Power of intention is stronger and more reliable than a wish! Intention, coupled with action, results to what we really really want! Love it!!

Vanessa: I met you when you were starting Conscious Connections and I got inspired right away. Your vision, back then, same as today: to change the world by starting with yourself first. And I watched and learned, but mostly was so grateful for having met you. There are many people who overcome adversity and conquer ‘the world.’ Yet, I don’t know many people who achieve their dreams and commit so wholeheartedly to bring change to their community, in spite of the obstacles and hard efforts it takes. You have walked the talk Vanessa, so many times, sharing your stories of love and those of heartache too, making us feel that we belonged to a community, and that the community belonged to us. Community for you, means a tangible place we can call HOME; where the single parent, the lonely elderly, the struggling child/teen, the sick, the minority, the underprivileged, the disabled, the hopeless, the ones who still believe and the ones who gave up believing, the ones run by fear, and those coming from love, get altogether to share, heal, grow and give back. You are a true gift to us! Thank you! Haydee Windey

I have always had hard time with the word "intention"... there's some subtle difference between intention - wants - and wishes. I know that in that subtle difference lies the power to create the reality we want. Wants feel like an urge coming from basic instincts, wishes feel like a far dream, intentions feel like a moment where you align with your soul's purpose. I "wish" there was a simple formula to reach that allusive "intention" state but probably doesn't get simpler than Vanessa's share.. clarity + action. Clarity coming from aligning with our soul purpose, and taking action which is overcoming the fear that will try to hold us back. Thank you Vanessa for sharing and inspiring us to reclaim our birthright powers.

Amazing and powerful story with many lessons. The world needs more people like Vanessa (and Low Entropy) with clear intention to make the world more kind and compassionate!

Very inspiring, Vanessa! I love the question 'What do I want?" Now, I am going to explore different ideas and start making them a reality. Thanks for talk! It was great. I am going to listen to it again and again.

So inspiring and motivating👍💯

What an amazing speech, buddy ❤

Ill gotten gains will be ill spent

Great message. This is not what I expected though. This is more about setting a clear goal and getting after it. I was thinking it was going to be about setting intention for manifesting what you intend to happen.

Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides

Great talk Vanessa! and you didn't even cry this time😂

Love the story. Scratch the comedy! Trust me 😅

A charlatan walked as a prophet, and changed the world of sheep in his wake, and all that while, God watched with blind eyes, helpless…

3 years of odd jobs to buy a house? 2006 must have been really nice 🥲. Meanwhile I’ve been a doctor for 5 years still struggling
