A TRIBUTE TO KOBE BRYANT - Our society is obsessed with success, but is success everything? We have all asked ourselves, “What is the Purpose of Life?” Is it happiness, success, or freedom? Embedded in that question is the key to fulfillment and well-lived life.
"We all need a purpose greater than ourselves," says professor and writer, Hassan Akmal, the author of How to be a Career Mastermind™: Discover 7 "YOU Matter" Lenses for a Life of Purpose, Impact, and Meaningful Work. He escaped from being taken hostage in Afghanistan at the age of 28 and now speaks all over the world as an academic and former professional athlete.
Learn more about how developing a Career and Life Vision helps you see what exists around us and within us, with a panoramic lens, as Akmal offers five powerful secrets for Career and Life Mastery - and they may surprise you!

Thanks so much🙏🏽
If you believe it’ll work out, you’ll see opportunities. If you don’t believe it’ll work out, you’ll see obstacles❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
YES, THERE IS. For me, it is to serve & glorify God(OUR Heavenly Father) ☺️
This is one of TEDx best Talk. Thanks
Hassan Akmal. Seems to know everything that is important. Does not look like a tennis champ. But all the more extraordinary, Bravo.
He was when he was younger; a top junior, National Indoors Team Champion, NCAA Team Finalist, pro tennis player, and used to practice with so many top pros at UCLA. I saw him on the court with Sampras practicing once and another time training with a French player (forget his name) on the court next to Agassi and Brad Gilbert during a pro tournament years ago. He was super talented, beautiful one-handed backhand, and a power player. He won the fastest serve contest. 140 mph!!!
You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
true!
He is speaking in such a way that it makes you feel like you can do anything! In love with her energy!
Thank you so much 🙏🏽
should speak to himself about reaching a healthy weight.
Yes, making your living through something you love, can never be called work. - A retired illustrator, still loving it ♥︎
Amazing, living your calling, purpose, and labor of love! Congratulations on aligning your freedom.
May i know how can i get started as an illustrator? How to be successful in it?
The hard days are what make you stronger 🥰🥰🥰
Adversity builds character🙏🏽.
I listen to TEDx while working or while relaxing. I dont really pick what topics are covered after the first. I just let what plays, play.
When this video began to play, I stopped everything I was doing to listen and really hear what was being said.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for the kind words🙏🏽
@@CareerandLifeMastery you don't even realize how powerful your words were for me. Again, thank you!
Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart
Conquer fear with mindset, perspective, and courage.
Whatever you are, be a good one

Probably the most helpful talk I've watched so far
I have suffered from depression and anxiety since I was 13, I am now 26 and have only recently discovered that the only thing that truly makes me relaxed is getting put into nature and exploring. Luckily I live beside forestry and fields so I go for a walk and explore every day I can. I really resonated with this talk! Thanks!
Still trying to narrow my love for one thing cause there several things that love to do.
I can listen to him over and over again
He is the best cause he make it plain.
I absolutely love her succinct message, non-confrontational delivery.
Thank you 🙏🏽
you mean "his".. He is a dude
@@gambo2246 So many comments either omit a gendered pronoun or say her/she, I am baffled!
Thank you for such a lovely talk. I was ' not knowing what to do ' before watching this , now have a clue to design a small part of my life.
You are welcome 🙏🏽.
Really great review! Thanks for the post
Thank you
I’m impressed almost every sentence he spoke would make a great T-shirt or greeting card
“Where focus goes, energy flows.. 😉
Happiness leads to success. Happiness is the oxygen that fuels our internal fulfillment. Choose happiness as a place to begin. Be happy, breathe.

The most important thing about this video is to let you know that you have the possibility to design your future. It means that only you can choose your dreams and goals, you have the power to decide about your life, if you think you need it you can change your lifestyle because you can do as many things as you think you can. It is important to take the advantages that life gives you to get far

Welcome!
I'd been looking at designing my career as a student, using Design Thinking. Though I got stuck after the empathy building stage. This gives me so much clarity on how to take the process forward. Super excited to apply this! Thanks Bill 😍

THANK YOU THANK YOU
THANK YOU
YOU EXACTLY SPEECHED WHAT I WANTED
TO MAINTAIN IN LIFE .SELF HEALING WAS MY GOAL TO GET TO SUCCESS AND I STARTED HEALING MYSELF
AFTER 3O YEARS OF BAD MARRIAGE. I RELEASED AND ALLWAYS WAS CONFUSED IN LIFE AND SAID TO MYSELF WHAT DO YOU WANT IN LIFE ?
FIRSTLY FIND MY WAY OUT
BY BEING STABLE .I HAVE DEVELOPING MYSELF TO EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT WE EXPECT IN LIFE HOW MUCH WE KNOW ABOUT SCIENCE AND OTHER SUBJECTS .THATS HOW FAR AND FAST WE CAN FIND OURSELVES AND BE BALANCED
IN NATURE.
Thank you so much!🙏🏽
❤ I listen to that audio every morning walking.great motivation thank you
Thank you very much for the motivation🙏🙏🙏
That part about too much choice really hit home with me. I want to do too many things and I constantly feel overwhelmed so I don't do anything...
I highly suggest you watch Dr. K's "Unlocking motivation". I felt the same way and he talks about this very thing, wanting to do a lot, but being unable to do so. He's a psychiatrist so you can be sure you are gonna be helped by his video. Check the other one about executive dysfunction if you are interested. Hope I helped :)
This is great, exactly what I was looking for, thanks
You are welcome.
Just in time when I need this advice the most. Thank you.
You're welcome!
i have learn a lot from this video

@@jessbartscher1843 Thank you! 🙏So happy it resonated. It's ALL about mastery. Remember, the mastery will lead to a river and that river will lead to streams. Don't start with the streams.
