I went totally blind five years ago. I just discovered this Ted talk yesterday. It was a relief to hear that somebody else had experienced the fears that I experienced when I went blind. Great talk!

@brandonroths, you could still ask him and he'll tell you how he is, 8 know for a fact that Isaac Lidsky uses readers to help him use his computer. And furthermore Lidsky does encourage feedback.

@XYZyt, In as much as I agree with your prayers, I think as Isaac will say either here or elsewhere his book 'Eyes Wide Open' isn't really aimed at those who have physical eye challenges but to even us 'able bodied' eyes functioning well! Towards the end of this talk he quotes Helen Keller : The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but NO vision.' In as much as Isaac hopes one day to see his tripskies and his sweet baby Clementine for indeed as Scripture says' Light is sweet aha it is pleasing to the eyes to see the sun. Ecclesiastes 11:7 the best prayer therefore should be that Lord, may we have beyond physical sight and see true vision, to see the world, reality as it is not as as we have conceived it to be. Amen

I instantly shared this after watching it, what an eye opener!

A few hundred times! I'm going to memorize his "instruction," so when I start feeling the panic, I can recite his words to myself, because they may be the most important ones I've ever heard! Most of my life I've held others responsible for my situations, and that is going to stop right now! The 20 or so years of life I've got left, are going to be on my terms, and of my creation! Don't waste the time I have, start doing what he says - NOW!!!

I agree completely!

"You are the creator of your reality. With that empowerment comes complete responsibility. I chose to step out of fear's tunnel into terrain uncharted and undefined.I chose to build there a blessed life." Beautiful and powerful message.

My father became blind when he turned 40 and he agonised over losing his vision. He couldn't cope, I've seen blindness destroy him. I'm happy this man embraced his condition and gets to live a happy, fulfilled life.

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision

shoutout to the people that stood up clapping for him. you are the real mvp

this is one of talks that changes people lives

I am the sort of person who worries about everything and then I hear a man like this who suffered a devastating challenge as a teenager and has gone on to accomplish so much. Inspirational and so worth hearing.

this is so true. I've dealt with anxiety since i was very young and one of the biggest ways I've managed to overcome it was by helping to retrain my brain to think about all my worries and fears in a different way. As someone who has experimented with drugs well beyond what many would consider experimentation, as someone who has experienced addiction and beaten it, I've led a life fraught with worry. Some of these worries would be things like "what if i start doing drugs again?" "what if im at a party and somebody offers me something and I struggle to say no" "what if im doomed to repeat these same self destructive cycles for the rest of my life" the answer to each one of these worries, and many others, is very simple. What if I start doing drugs again? "don't start doing drugs again" What if im at a party....? "all you have to do is say no" what if im doomed to repetition? "im the only one who controls what I do" I recognize my worries for what they are. They will only come true if I allow them to. To worry is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign to strengthen yourself against that weakness and ensure you don;t allow it to become reality.

Inspired. I'm gonna listen to this every day until I remember it word for word.

Awesome bigg slap on my face for my excuses..

we complain every day of our lives and he's blind and lives happier than most of us. let's learn from him.

first video ever i couldn't wait to finish to give it a like. now resume.

Wow. Just wow. Tears and chills, the whole nine yards. What an inspiration and a blessing. That is one impressive human being right there! So much love!

by far one of my all time favorite Ted Talks!! well done! love the summary at end! just outstanding, I admire you!!

WOW! That was one good TED Talk!!! We all need to take in what he is saying and use it every day whether we are blind or not. What an exceptional human you are, Isaac.

Loose one sense and it opens the door to many others 😊

Did you notice how he held out his hand to shake hands with the other guy at the end, even though he couldn't see the other guy's gesture? THAT was impressive!

Not only that, but he actually "looked" at his own hand right after reaching it, just like we do as a way to move the focus to the hand. It's very subtle and he must be doing it consciously, while we all do it unconsciously

Best Ted Talk I've seen in months......just ordered his book!

Blown.Away. Added to my monthly TED rewatch list.

he radiates pure light. this is so inspiring.

You literally can not tell he's blind.

Honestly, the best part of his talk was his answer to the other dude's question.

Turns out to be the finest example of a reality check given by someone. It is going on my top five Ted talks. Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching level of enlightenment

You made my day !

@@jonathanrandall4140 that is absolutely correct now you're finally starting to understand.

This is so much more important than most people realize. So many Ted talks are useless without understanding and practicing what this man is talking about. The solution to so many peoples problems and issues in life can be attained with this Knowledge..

Oh wow, a rational, scientifically-based, and insightful TED Talk. They should try doing more of these...

This is so inspirational and touching! Such a strong, wise man!

this was a truly inspiring and touching talk. I have watched countless of ted talks yet this one alike a few I've stumbled upon throughout the year really stuck with me and managed to give me some food for thought. amazing

I have been exploring my journey of seeing with no eyes. Though I am not blind, you really can see so much more when you close them and experience life.

Yes, it is absolutely correct that losing sight doesn't mean you lost your Vision. The vision was there and it will be until the end. So never let your fear hijack your confidence in this moment. Because fear is like a ripple in the water of reality which produces delusion and confusion about our knowledge, perception, and imagination in an absolute field of reality

Awesome

It's the simplest things that can be so difficult.

Amazing, brilliant guy, opened my eyes to EVERYTHING....

God bless you, man ! Great inspiration

WOW, this is amazing, i love all the things he said, and it literally gave me direction, i make a lot of assumptions and have fears before i do something big, and it becomes stressful, but listening to isaac now made me understand that those things are literally unnecessary if u just focus on the bright side of things. Really inspirational :) Glad i watched this! Liked!

Outstanding, thank you for sharing your story.

Tremendously inspirational - bravo to you sir!

One of the best TED Talks I've ever seen, no pun intended.

I actually felt very sad that he lost his sense of sight. It must have been so sad slowly losing such a precious part of the reality we create. He seems to have really overcome that and used it as a strength! Good man.
