In his TEDx talk titled “Building a Business, Finding Purpose,” Leon Zheyoung shares a profound life lesson he learned after 34 years of introspection: the importance of believing in one’s dreams and taking actionable steps toward achieving them. Zheyoung, who describes himself as an introverted and game-obsessed individual, reflects on his past struggles with self-doubt and societal expectations. He emphasizes that the universe operates on a simple law: what you desire can be achieved if you’re willing to pursue it wholeheartedly.
Zheyoung recounts his journey from feeling stuck in a mundane life to achieving remarkable success, including financial independence and personal fulfillment. He encourages listeners to break free from limiting beliefs and embrace discomfort as a catalyst for growth. Ultimately, his message resonates with the idea that belief is the first step towards action, and that everyone has the potential to reach their dreams if they dare to take the first leap.
