@@simonalexandero I've been wandering all over RU-vid, Udemy, Skillshare,... so many platforms for years now. Followed numerous of courses in photography, webbdesign, digital marketing,... so I know I have the knowledge to pursue an entrepreuneurship in creating content, I just keep getting stuck in that same routine of "let's follow 1 more course" because I always feel like it's never enough. I think many people can relate to this. By the way, The Shawshank Redemption is my all time favorite movie!
9:07 the ability to do hard things is one of the most important skills to develop in ourselves and in our children. Love this point about how to shape our own realities with our ability to overcome challenges 🙌🙌
Lesson 4 and the bonus lesson are my absolute favourites - taking responsibility for everything in my life and being a learning machine have created who I am now from who I used to be. Thank you Simon. Really appreciate this and the 11 things to live an easy, slow life.
Being Always Lost In The Maze Of Choices & Due To This Lucking Consistency Is Killing Me, I Really Feel Exhausted Mostly @50 Bad For Marriage And All Other Areas Of Life, Love Your Videos Anyway
Thank you Simon. All are great lessons. My word for this year is Courage, so your comment "Breakthrough is on the other side of courage" really resonated with me. I'm taking action on some really hard stuff. It's uncomfortable. But i believe the breakthrough is coming 😊 Another lesson for me is to truely know who I am and not rely on external validation for my identity. And to know my values and live authentically! I'm a recovering people pleaser 😉 Jue x
I liked the thought," If you choose to do harder things in the beginning,later in life it becomes easier" Do not get jealous of someone's success. But I have a question? How do you deal with people who get jealous and bring destruction unknowingly
From my experience, there will always be people who are jealous of you when you put yourself out there and achieve some level of success. The key is to understand that it is often more about them than you. You can try and raise their awareness about it through kindness, positivity and empathy but if they are not open to listening or understanding, then you must create a boundary to prevent that negative energy affecting you.
Thank you for sharing the lessons. I also wish I understood earlier the benefit of short term pain for long term gain. I really like the comment about how avoiding short term pain is a great strategy for peace, but the trade off is long term happiness, which I'm assuming would also bring more internal peace as well.
I’m incredibly grateful to have just discovered you. What a miracle you are. I feel I’ve been searching for you and your guidance all my life. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for the powerful message. I am inspired to go after all the goals I have shelved for some time now. Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life. Thanks again.
Everything you said resonates with my life❤especially choosing the hardest part and do the easiest things later. It becomes a habit and part of my daily life. I’m grateful that your video showed up this morning while I was walking and thought I tried to listen. THANK YOU! I hope a lot of people have a chance to see and listen to your videos. 🙏 Now, I am curious so, I’m going to read your book ENERGIZE.
Thank you for your magnificent videos! 🎉 Your lesson, per Alvin Toffler, on "learning, unlearning, and relearning" 11:27 reminded me of a comment that purported to correct what is commonly cited as Darwin's theory of evolution being "the survival of the fittest." The commenter said the more accurate articulation of his theory is something to the effect of: Those who are the quickest to adapt ["learn, unlearn, and relearn"] are the most likely to survive. Great work, Simon!
I would so much like to believe this just as I believed so when I was younger and more naive, but unfortunately we live in a society where we do what we are given and not what we want. And if we don't accept it or we give it up or it is not given to us then we are unemployed and the whole society hates us and we are left alone outside and isolated, like we're worthless trash. And when you're an outsider, it's harder to come back and you're just pushed further away as a scapegoat so that others feel better and less anxious. And I know and am aware that this is not a healthy society when it works this way, it is very broken, but it is difficult to influence and change it alone if others do not want to change the prevailing status quo but keep it instead. And with even greater reason I hope more harder that it's true, what you said in this video because it is much better than what we have now.
Simon, thank you for lesson no. 1. I'm still struggling with how to close that gap. I'm stuck in something they call "over-analysis paralysis". I have too much information and I don't know what to do with it. Thank you for your help!
I feel you! Good to consume information; more important to have a bias towards applying it. Perhaps something simple to begin with is to reflect on what one, small action you can take today that is in your control 🙌
I am at that point now in my work where I keep driving into my work which i detest. I am SO TIRED. I have no energy or joy in my life. I feel stuck and defeated. I am so sad. I'm a 59 year old LPN and frightened to quit.
Lesson 1 - the person who host's a mastermind I'm in always mentions collapsing decades into months, and moving from idea to execution is definitely important
Hey Simon , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you to grow your channel by providing you all the value and help which will need to grow your channel ! Please Lmk what do you think ?
I love lessons 6 & 7. It’s something I have proven to myself and something I really want my kids to appreciate more and more as they grow up. Thank you!!
i know i escaped death twice and im still here and i just found out recently that Jesus is my son so its not late for me at all my journey has just started
Most relevant for me is hard versus easy choices. I'm in middle age trying to undo the consequences of taking the easy route when I was younger. I subscribed also to the go with the flow philosophy and got nowhere really only back to where I started.
