Mohammed Issa, a Ghanaian entrepreneur and philanthropist explores what it really takes to be and feel alive! at TedX Accra.

It’s true that there is a lot of hype surrounding the event-with high fiving and fist pumping almost compulsory-and you are often left wondering if you have just arrived at a rave party in Ibiza. However, you ultimately leave with an incredible feeling, and a knowing that anything is possible.

The mental symptoms were the ones that shattered me. I got a severe miserable feeling, which made me feel helpless, lifeless and surrounded me with nothingness.

I drift back again to the wonderful summers I spent in Lebanon, and then I am suddenly nudged to leave the empty plane. I remember why I’m here – Gibran Khalil Gibran – and I smile.

I have just finished four days of filling my energy tanks with the amazing Anthony Robbins. I have been to many self-development seminars and spiritual retreats, and I can say that this has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.

This feeling lasted for eons and eons and not the real time of five minutes that it took. I just didn’t know what happened and felt confused and paralyzed to do anything. All I could think of was to jump off a cliff or a tall skyscraper building but luckily the closest places were like hundreds of miles away
