Stop Chasing Purpose and Focus on Wellness | Chloe Hakim-Moore | TEDxMemphis
Stop Chasing Purpose and Focus on Wellness | Chloe Hakim-Moore | TEDxMemphis
For ages, people have been told to find our purpose, and that purpose will lead to a fulfilled life. But what if finding purpose isnโt enough to bring fulfillment? What if the focus on finding purpose, in fact, has been harming us by obscuring who we are with ideas of who we should be? This talk explores how our singular mission should be collective wellness, why now is the time to pursue it, and how the journey will offer the healing our world has desired for centuries. Chloe is an internationally acclaimed social designer, artist, and humanitarian. Fueled by an unshakable reverence for all life, her practice demands dignity for all, and centers the reimagining of societal systems to guarantee global well-being. Hakim-Moore designed and leads NEXT Memphis: a $32 million initiative of Porter-Leath to increase access to high quality early childhood education for all families in Shelby County.
Her past projects include: leading the operations of First 8 Memphis; partnering with the National Institutes of Health to serve persons with disabilities in Trinidad and Tobago; and supporting refugees and immigrants through designing citizenship attainment and food entrepreneurship opportunities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

This was a great talk with massive gems dropped. Completely worth listening to again! Thanks you for sharing this!
This is dope! I’ve been on a similar journey pursuing wellness for the past couple years and it is the hardest and best decision I have to continually make.
Im 20 and i feel like im at a life crisis trying to find my purpose and like she said im just wondering if im using my time right. Im not really enjoying the experience of being human. I think itโs because im chasing the feeling of being happy 24/7 and not accepting any other emotions like boredom and criticism. I be feeling alone i dont know why if its a gazillion people in the world, then i dont feel alone anymore when i come across videos like this so thank you chloe and everyone out there if u reading this bro weโre human and we got this stay safe stay bright
Cultivate wellness. Yes

Really appreciate this message because I also battle with anxiety and only a few years ago I started to practice wellness. I am also from Trinidad !!! sending love ๐น๐น๐ค
Beautiful
Bless you Ms Moore for sharing a universal truth! Change for the better always starts with the betterment of self. Honesty about our frailties will yield a path of discovery to what holds us back from living the abundant life!
I had no idea how much I needed this. Thank you, Chloe!
I so needed this ๐ญI think I really need therapy,dont know where to start.
I’ll have to rematch this one. I aint heard a word she said she gorgeous
This was a sermon for me ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝโค๏ธ
Finally! Something that doesnโt hinge on ambition!
and it’s tedx Memphis! OMG
If I was looking for a sign to find a therapist.. this is it.
I found this is so real, I shared the same feelings like lack of sleep, but with experts advice on โstay focusโ I become stronger and a big believer in education!

Awesome talk ๐ Thank you โค
Gurl you think your twenties are intense.. wait till your thirties ๐ซ
Loved this I’m on that journey too sis. You did such a bemoan job in articulating it. Thank you. You can’t give what you don’t have.
Such a great presentation โ Definitely elements within this video that I can apply to my life. Cherry on topโ๏ธ She’s a Memphianใฝ๏ธโ
She started to lose me when she mentioned "inequalities" because I’m sure she wasn’t referring to actual inequalities but rather skin color and gender, she worried me a bit more when she quoted UN, World Bank and IMF in a way not to criticize the travesties they’ve put upon the world, but using them as experts, and she totally lost me when she said "according to every credible climate scientist". So the poor girl is not getting anywhere near enlightenment until she breaks her brainwashing. But she seems to be a lovely person. And I agree with making yourself a priority, for those of us who are not natural narcissist, or men, it can be tough to put ourselves and taking care of ourselves as a top priority.
Chasing Purpose is for Men… God created Adam and worked with him in the Garden. Eve came and enjoyed the Labor of Adam… that is how things should be.. but nowadays, Women are becoming like men and chasing purposes , cooporate Jobs and strugling instead of living the life they were created to enjoy… But who am i , to tell you what to do ?…
Very simple explanation for why millennial are forefronting this change and shift in society (even if it takes decades). Most of us have our Pluto in Scorpio. Death and transformation. We are destroying the old things and way of being that does not serve. We are clearing way and path for next generations to really implement what we have seeded.
So much of her journey sounds like mine – I felt so connected and inspired and watched this at just the right time!

Mid life/ quarter life crisis put a number on life. For me I cannot do this

A great tes talk was a little hesitant to watch but gave it a go and feel the title should be different lol more if an attention grabber than exact meaning of the story like โinner workings โ or something
What a sweet talk, I love her energy
Wellness and companionship,,
Wellness is a key aspect. Health is now the absence of symptoms, yet physically, emotionally, spiritually or financially, or any or all of the above could be a train reck. Overall, all of them are worthy of attention and equally if any one of them is neglected, they all suffer.
so good ๐๐๐

I am 18 and I 100% agree with her message because we can do and be anything in this world but only if we are well from a holistic perspective ๐งก.
A win in any aspect of our life is a win in every aspect of our life.
