TED: Ananda Shankar Jayant Fights Cancer With Dance
“My story is the power of thought, the power of choice, the power of focus. It’s the story of bringing ourselves to the attention of something that so animates you, so moves you, that something like cancer becomes insignificant!” (time-marker in video: 7:48)

Life coaching – Elizabeth Gilbert on Nuturing Creativity TED Talk
Elizabeth Gilbert on Nuturing Creativity
The best selling author of Eat, Pray, Love talks about coping with the pressure of creativity and success and the idea that maybe we’re not entirely responsible for our creative successes and failures. What I like about this talk is that it takes a very humble person to disown success or lay success at another place than our own feet. I also like how she talks about dealing with the pressure of being creative for a living and how it’s ok when we’re not creative.

An astonishing story with an awesome life message!
