In my life, I have been dealing with gangstalking for 16+ years unstoppable. I gave up and boarded an Amtrak train to New York to head into the United Nations to DENOUNCE my United States Citizenry and change my country's nationality to some other country that does not allow the haters to win. I ended up getting pulled off the TRAIN and put into TEXAS JAIL --- and such a story of my own into my experiences in Jail. The NEXT BEST move after the charges was dropped after 58 days in Jail, goes to attempt to contact and communicate with the Local Law Enforcement Agency of Williamson Country Sheriff's Office --- and so far that conversation has not progressed -- so I must take this effort to the public to show them the contrast --- of complete silence. Silence is not an option here.. ** THIS COMMENT DOES NOT VIOLATE ANY YOUTUBE TERMS OF SERVICE * Stored Archive of Facebook Messenger To the Williamson County, Tx Sheriff's Office http://fuckeduphuman.space/Williamson-County-Texas-Jail/Messenger/If-You-Want%20To-Achieve-Respect-First-Define-It-With-Excellence!.htm Audio Address To Community In View Of Re-Connecting To Mental Health Services: http://webdomains.realuphuman.net/inlandpsych.com/DefinitelyNotRamseyTheory-SomewhereByBarbraStreisand.mp3 Please -- Can I have the attention of our shared collective social conscience. ?

Just what I needed "your environment does not define you, it simply gives you the oppurtunity to find yourself."

When I was younger I always hated TED talks because they’d play them in school all the time. 15 now and I can’t stop watching. It’s amazing how much you can learn from these people. Props to this great guy for bringing such a great lesson to everyone.

What a great video, this is my summary: “The strongest force in the human personality is the need to remain consistent of how you define yourself” in other words it’s your identity! Which governs your decision-making. You can either adopt the identity of a victim when things don’t work the way you want or you can choose the identity of a winner and find the best out of every situation. Life is not a comfort centric experience, but a GROWTH centric experience. We are in earth school. The power of acceptance: don’t complain on something that has already happen, because you’ll be wasting your time. Stop thinking “if only” or “what if” because you can’t go back and change anything. By unhooking the energy of resistance and coming to terms of where you are you can free that energy to think of what the next best move is to deal with what happens. EVERY ADVERSITY (problem) CARRIES WITH IT THE SEED OF AN EQUIVALENT OR A GREATER BENEFIT. The difference between liberty and freedom: Liberty: restricting the free will and decision making Freedom: is a state of mind and nobody can take that away from you. Nobody can do anything to you emotionally without your permission. Your environment never defines you, it simply gives you the opportunity to define yourself. Everybody faces adversity, it’s not because we’re unlucky, it’s by design. THE BEST TREES DON’T GROW IN THE BEST SOIL, THEY GROW IN THE STRONGEST WINDS. When adversity shows up, and it will, start asking better questions like what can I learn and what I can become rather than what can I lose.

I can't even process the dude's mentality. He's so high on the emotional maturity level.

"Freedom is a state of mind, and nobody can take that away from you" - more important than ever these days

Refreshing to have such profound principles taught through the lens of experience not theory. Seeing amazing results in my life having applied the principles mentioned in this ted talk. Thanks peter!

Thanks Peter. You are the real deal. There are only a few coaches outside who are able to walk the talk in those circumstances. You live what you teach and its a pleasure to have you as a teacher. Thanks again for this inspiring video. And btw I think it was a gift for the inmates to have you there.

Valuable life lessons, great job Peter Sage.

Anyone who has read the famous book Think and Grow Rich knows that every adversity carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. Peter’s inspiring story is a stunning example of how to apply this concept in the real world and turn an obstacle into an opportunity to help others! Bravo!
