“Eat, Pray, Love” Author Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses — and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person “being” a genius, all of us “have” a genius. It’s a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.

[..YouTube..] +1
[..YouTube..] another way of putting it is: our talents come from God.
[..YouTube..] wow.
[..YouTube..] wonderful…deep… inspirational…thank you!
[..YouTube..] I love this Idea! =0)
[..YouTube..] Thank you!
[..YouTube..] Love this! Makes sense!
[..YouTube..] This lady is obviously linguistic to the core. I mean, look at the way she talks….
Aren’t you afraid that you’re gonna work your whole life at this craft and nothing’s gonna come out of it and you’re gonna die in a scrap heap of broken dreams with your mouth filled with bitter ash of failure…
Where did that come from? I swear that sentence would have gone on if she wasn’t on such a rush.
[..YouTube..] the creativity comes from Hard work, and from open mind. For example the greatest artist of all time Ludwig Van Beethoven. His works got better and better trough out his life. He wrote loads of master pieces when he was still young ( for example he wrote moonlight sonata when he was 31) and at the last ten years of his life when he was stone deaf he wrote the biggest master piece ever (The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125), He wrote his best string quartets on the last years of his life etc
[..YouTube..] well said
[..YouTube..] this talk improved my life, thank you to everyone who made that possible
[..YouTube..] TX this is a simple case of occrams razor, and as such the “explanation” for Lateral Thinking. What you do not want is to explore the world of hrisontal thinking, where creativity becomes a pseudo-scientific search for “essens”.
Back to work!
[..YouTube..] “Looking for another poet” – that’s hilarious! I hope it comes by my house!
[..YouTube..] awesome attempt at defining the historical etiology of creativity. great transparent stage presence. only one oversight…ancient civilizations all had a healthy respect for God, though they, like we, find it hard to give the Creator of the Universe credit for the gifts and talents he bestows on some and not others. It would be courageous for one with such a grand, contemporary stage to identify the only source of true creativity – the Master Creator.
[..YouTube..] I’ve not heard anybody talking about her book. Lady, don’t worry, nobody even knows you.
[..YouTube..] You live under a rock, bro?
[..YouTube..] You cannot be serious Walt Sandford. Is the tooth fairy responsible for your teeth too? And I bet Santa still brings you presents, too.
[..YouTube..] So we should believe in fairytales and god, just to feel better? I think that is a dangerous step, even though I know what she means. What happens there is that she separates a part of herself, of her personality. This process is, in my oppinion, a very psychotic thing.
[..YouTube..] This is so beautiful! I know a lot people can’t stand this because it calls this force ‘God’. BUT, I think it’s a beautiful realization! For some reason, people can’t reconcile the honesty in this delivery! BUT,this is truly wonderful. AND I agree with every aspect of her discussion! When the inspiration comes to us, knocking at our door. We just have to let it come and speak to us. She couldn’t have been more on point here!
I am sharing this! 
Thanks Ted!
[..YouTube..] There is no need to believe… belief, as we know, can be very dangerous !
Why not ask yourself:
Where did this thought come from?
What is the source of this creative source?
Am I responsible for making this thought?
Or did the thought come to me?
[..YouTube..] WOW! thanks to a news feed and a comment from prince i am here and glad to be so and glad and happy to know that all things are linked if you are truly seeking light you will find it and vice versa,, lol OLE!
[..YouTube..] Prince brought me here.
[..YouTube..] I love you for having the courage to stand up and say this out loud. Truth.
[..YouTube..] I feel these type of moments frequently, where I can’t seem to find a piece of paper fast enough to write down the idea, or where I wish I could remember the sound. It’s like a rush goes through your body and there is a determined purpose set into your mind.
xD haha, maybe we should all carry around little notebooks for when that happens.
[..YouTube..] Nobody watching this and other TED talks, while getting incredibly uncomfortable by the sheer pretentiousness of it all?
[..YouTube..] I love this way of thought. Thank you Elizabeth. I first saw this a couple of years ago and then read her book which I also loved. I am a singer and know that feeling. For me it’s like my whole body is resonating. I can stand aside from it for a moment, recognise it is happening and then, I guess, re-enter. Thereafter its so hard to recall what that feeling was but I try to write down how I felt so I can relive it when things aren’t working. It’s pretty inspiring. I also make sure I tell someon
[..YouTube..] Thank u Elizabeth!great speech…truly changing!

[..YouTube..] Incredible! <3
[..YouTube..] I thought the Greeks called it a “muse”, not a daemon. ?
[..YouTube..] Or… just buy a $30 handheld tape player. When the idea hits, record it. ?
