Mastering the Quick Change | Luca Lombardo | TEDxVitosha

Italian artist Luca Lombardo asks whether real personal transformation starts with a major decision or with one small, seemingly minor choice. He describes how the question of a bold, personally meaningful change led him, at thirty, to leave his military career, take off his uniform and epaulettes, and move into the creative and unpredictable world of the performing arts. The talk was given at TEDxVitosha, an independently organized local event that follows the TED conference format. It focuses on the idea of acting on a deeply desired change and what that choice can mean for a person's direction in life.

Luca Lombardo challenges us to rethink how we shape our destinies, asking: does real transformation begin with a monumental decision, or a single, seemingly insignificant choice? What would you do if you knew that only a single, instant change stands between you and the life of your dreams? A bold, deeply desired change that is authentically yours. It was exactly this question and drive that provoked Italian artist Luca Lombardo, at the age of thirty, to strip off his military uniform and epaulettes, fully embracing the creative chaos and freedom of the performing arts. 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
