Be impeccable with your words but listen First 💝 Absorb them!

M mm

yes.

This is heartbreaking, and you're extremely strong

Pain is the greatest teacher. Respect to the first responders. A nightmare unimaginable

It was such an awful day. I’ve struggled repeatedly to explain it to my young son. I’m so sorry for what you went through. I was (& am) in DC. We had a rough day, but nothing like NYC

9/11 was absolutely horrific. I am so sorry you experienced such losses first hand. The pain was unbearable to the entire country, so one can only imagine how great your pain was/is after those devastating events that horrible day. No, we will never forget. God bless you. 😓💔🙏

So true Sister Rose

completely agree! She is incredible.

I agree!!

@sister 👍agree. Simple. tell everyone you know. Post. We are the ones to do it, not the media. The media has its own agenda. They are too busy dividing, and giving a negative perspective of our lives.

@@dani323 well said

In a nutshell : You ARE, what you BELIEVE you are.

Did you even actually listened to her own words in the video? she said: *"We all are egotistical people"* 9:40 so by her own claim, that includes herself to the equation

I wish people understood just how true and powerful our word's are

And it kills over and over

Amen to this! Our tongue holds death and life!

@@pinkyhotmessx69 Bloodshed Economics

God doesn't exist

There’s a LOT of people feeling threatened by higher skilled workers etc when they should be enjoying them being a great asset to the company

@@victoriafrodsham3730 I agree 100%. These people are your teachers. Be happy that they are in your path. Its a blessing.

Yes I agree

@@nadiafedorenko491 In what specific way are they teaching could you elaborate.

@@bbdo5626Every person is your teacher. If you look deep enough you'll see what the lesson is. You will see what it is you can learn fron thenm. Every situation is different so I can't elaborate.

I'm sorry that was your experience. Please find someone you trust to express this feelings. You matter!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I feel sad that this person wasn’t in touch with your pain and emotional needs. Don’t keep this bottled up inside, write your story down, all the anguish and pain. I have had to do this. Only God knows our sorrows but it’s so helpful to have someone to unload our burdens to. I’m listening ❤🌹☦️🤗

@@elliemerc01 ❤️❤️

I believe that we can be re-traumatized when that happens. It's just adding another layer of anger, frustration, hurt and delaying the healing process. It's common when we're abused. When no one wants to believe it- or they get angry at YOU - the receiver (or victim - but I don't like that word). That has happened to me. So, I just cringed when I read what you wrote. So- if that would happen again - what could we do differently? Re-interrupt them? Say - excuse me - I wasn't finished speaking. Don't allow anyone to infringe on you - But then again- maybe they were not deserving of your story.

@@michelerivers2251 I am always an involved listener. By that I mean that I listen to every minute details without thinking anything in my mind. I even ask questions about what they just spoke about. I get involved completely. Many people listen to reply, to respond! Sadly this is a world where we live in.

In Italy there is an old saying, ~"The smaller the cask, the stronger the wine."~

@@iloveyoufromthedepthofmyheart she is 5 ft 3.

Fabulous!

She is beautiful, but it is her intelligence, and how she chooses to use it, that is inspiring.

For sure!!!

Her book is called Becoming Bulletproof

@jessica I am following her now to get a fresh perspective. And to think she says to break fear of public speaking.. amazing! That’s when I started following her.

@@katrand5357 Thank you!

But it’s also not right sister, pay attention to those that disrespect you and why, and don’t let them close at all costs.

I agree . . . A friend in need is a friend in-deed . . . Choose your friends wisely and they will choose to be with you for life . . .

Trust your gut💯

Yes and my husband has a two year old tantrum and holds a grudge if I don’t want to hang with people I don’t like ! He has a very bad people radar

@@animallover4101 This is going to be a tough nut to crack . . . because it says so much about our lives . . . May I suggest . . . TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS And there no bad people . . . just good people with bad ideas ! ! !

@@hughmoore786 🤔

She is amazing isn't she ? Hello from Greece

Kati, I agree and I am!

One of the best books out there

I didn't stop driving for an hour when my house was right there because I wasted to finish her book on audibles. I could've listened at home but I was just in a Transe with her voice from the start.

Truth.

Try watching her "Women of Impact" interview. It's great, she's amazing.

She just released a book called Becoming Bulletproof

One of the many talks that glues my eyes on the screen.

Fatima Aquino For real, I was looking for ASMRy ted talks and click away immediately if I'm not getting it in the first 10 seconds. I didn't get it with this but I couldn't click away.

Nope... Made me stay right up to the point where she said "I sucked off the president too."

I totally agree with you Fatima! I came across an interview with her on another channel and I was just drawn to everything she had to say, to the point where I felt compelled to look her up because I wanted to learn more! This is the first video that came up, and you know how we often skim through videos listening to bits and pieces here and there that interest us and skip through the rest? Well, not with this one! I've been all ears and soaking up so much. She's incredible and I'm so glad I stumbled across her. I look forward to everything there is to learn from her other videos too.

@@richardlynch8009 lol. Right👌

You're a good storyteller but you're also contradicting your own sayings and beliefs. Your last saying is a paradox with what you said earlier "You don't need everyones respect and approval" That is exactly true and that is also why you should not care how people interpret the way you carry your self (First impression/Halo effect). You have revealed that you judge people from your own prejudiced impression (cognitive bias) by how people carry them selves, but they could be the smartest, most intelligent and most loyal and caring person in the world and very well suited for a job or suited as your friend and/or colleague even thou their looks don't fit your cultural box.

And don't be fooled by how people (including Evy Poumpouras) carry them selves, they could easly be a pro con artist. Interpret their words and observe the degree of coherence between their words and actions, that will tell all about their character, not how they carry them selves, their clothes brands or weather a shirt is flattened out or not.

This seems a little over-analyzed to me.

Actions matter more then words, so i agree more with you orion9k that is not to say words mean nothing... she seems like a con artist in the form of motivational speaker not that she does not speak truth at all... the problem comes when you weave truth with your dogmatic bias... critical thinking beats cognative bias hence analysis is something that is required for Discernment... without it is acceptance based on feeling rather then reason...

U just leveled up lol

what?

Quality of Great Communication are as follows : Active Listener, Make Your Partner/Audience Feel Super Special/ See things from their Perspective/ Self-esteem, Self-confidence, Presence, How you carry, portrey Yourself/ Earn the Respect, Respect yourself, mental armour n strength grew,

Listen 80:20speak/ Action speaks louder ....thank you for this amazing talk

She is

So true

Unusual pe

Never too late to change!

I was like you and when I finally had something i definitely wanted to say, it has come out with the force of being bottled up for decades, when I never knew my soul was "keeping track" ... (God works in mysterious ways / the truth is deafening compared to any power struggles between men

yes I am too im going through a lot of changes. I think she saved my life... its helpful... like immensely!"

How???

@@julhe8743 individuals like her that speak of the surface experience have a lot of underlying experience...it's also feeling her soul that speaks higher then her analytical mind. People who can Feel others, can never hide from their truth. And if you watch some of her other interviews, you will see that her experience has strengthened her soul. Many individuals are not vulnerable about their pain and struggles bc they see it as a weakness. But...when you are aware of Being, their is no hiding no matter how good you sound. Everyone has experienced some kind of pain. And this women hides hers well, but not too well for those who understand there is a story to her and as to why she's speaking to others. She has a story, and it does sound painful, yet hidden with a profound surface of well talk.

Fit n Fab Thank you, good observation.

What? False feelings? Which psychologist said that
