Isaac Lidsky has been a child actor, Supreme Court litigator, entrepreneur, best-selling author, and just happens to be blind. After losing his sight to a rare degenerative disease in his early years he learned the power of not just simply seeing the world for what it is, but mentally manifesting what you want it to be and executing. Isaac shares what lessons can be found in the unknown on this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu.

QUOTES:
"The value in this Eyes Wide Open vision that I speak of is, it's not about science, it's not about blindness, it's about the lessons we can take in really taking control over the reality we want for ourselves. Literally choosing who you want to be and how you want to live your life in any moment." [10:50]
"You can live a life of happenstance, of reaction, or you can take some time to figure out how you want to spend your time, who you want to be, who you want to be as a parent, who you want to be as a spouse, and on and on and on. You can try to be that person and you can try to live that life." [21:55]
"Every moment of your life is a choice. How do you want to spend that moment? Who do you want to be? It is not the circumstances we confront that dictate the lives we experience." [25:55]

1. Best interviewer ever. He lets guests speak and seems genuinely interested. 2. Best introductions of the guests. Millions of information in few words.

@thetaorobertshow265 4 года назад

Gary Vee be like: - So tell me, my man! How did you start your business? - Well, you see... - SHUT UP! That's literally exactly what I was gonna say! To meee - starting a business is like waking up in the morning! Legit, best feeling in the world! 24/7, 365! - Yeah, I... -Cuz' I mean, the way I see it....

“I lost my sight and gained vision...” - that shook me to my core. WOW!!!

EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!! Thank you both! “You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” ― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

@kaneshirojames 6 лет назад

Damian Demasi someone recently quoted another great thing from Meditations, so when I saw it at the local bookstore I bought it and put it in the to read pile. Excited to get to it as this is another datapoint that it's got some great wisdom in it.

@DamianDemasi 6 лет назад

kaneshirojames it's a really great book... From 2000 years ago!

@kaneshirojames 6 лет назад

Damian Demasi yeah it blows my mind there are some people throughout history that achieved an amazing level of clarity about how the world works. Even by modern standards.

@DamianDemasi 6 лет назад

You should also check The Enchiridion (or The Manual) by Epictetus (“People are not disturbed by things, but by the views they take of them.”), and On the shortness of life by Seneca (“It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.”). All of them are great stoic philosophers with practical and action oriented ideas. Ideas that seems to be new (like mindfulness) are really old in fact. As humans, we tend to repeat ourselves, and nature repeats itself too: What is vice? A familiar sight enough. So with everything that befalls have ready-to-hand: ‘This is a familiar sight.’ Look up, look down, everywhere you will find the same things, of which histories ancient, medieval, and modern are full, and full of them at this day are cities and houses. There is nothing new under the sun. Everything is familiar, everything fleeting. (Meditations, 7.1)

@linus7 6 лет назад

I'm happy to see other people familiar with meditations! Reading it for the first time currently.

@toomey706 5 лет назад

"Losing my sight and gaining my vision", amazing concept.

@ProfaneEgyptology 6 лет назад

Incredibly motivating but also humbling, and a solid reminder of how much we take for granted. A real-world Daredevil, and a truly Strong Man.

@MarinaJA7 4 года назад

Effort matters more than results!

@sexybrain7174 6 лет назад

My take away: Fear is an illusion. We make excuses to not being able to do things, he is an answer to all those excuses. Don't create excuses, create vision.

@danielm3977 6 лет назад

Tom you are definitely one of the quote unquote "Napoleon hill " of our time .This interview only could shatter lots of limiting belief including disabilities

@TomBilyeu 6 лет назад

Very kind! Glad it resonated!

@jamief8836 6 лет назад

I teared up when he said to leave his kids happy and thriving. I felt the love he has for them ... great dude!!!! Tom, we love you and what you bring to the world. Blessings to you both and both of your Mrs. As well❤

Great ideas

@Grifons003 6 лет назад

I've been watching this interview for the last 3 days numerous times. And I still can't find words to really describe it. I mean, it changed me. His perception, attitude, philosophy just everything about him, made me want to become Great like none has ever. Beyond words! And so shall I strive to do! Cheers! And Thank you!

@MarlaDeeCS 5 лет назад

Well said. My experience has been the same!

@TheRillion86 6 лет назад

That was a tremendous interview. Congratulations Impact Theory team for gathering real people with real stories which I see as real life heroes. Thank you for that program!

@sammymosa2910 6 лет назад

His inner eye is wide open to experience true happiness and success. He is listening with his inner ear fully engaged in the present moment. He is happy because he is awake and intentional about the things he experience.

@javieraguirre8565 5 лет назад

I met Isaac on a Business convention. His life and story made me change my life 180. He just opened my eyes to all the possibilities that I had in front of me. Master.

@ghadafihussein 6 лет назад

This guy, Isaac Lidsky is freaking crazy! He embodies what it means to be an iron man. We, the virtual reality seers brag about eyesight. Well, although we perceive it to a blessing to see what's in front of us, he nearly renders it obsolete in his world. He taught me that there's more to eyesight than the eyes see. Thanks Isaac for opening my eyes wide.

@moritzschroder 6 лет назад

what a life story! i always feel humbled when i see what kind of obstacles some people needed to overcome. and also feel like i really have nothing to complain about in my life, even when not everything goes the way i want...

@TomBilyeu 6 лет назад

I feel exactly the same!

@TheYoufazana 6 лет назад

Yet again you have out done yourself Tom. We do not think we are Powerful therefore we let fear rule us. Understand You are Powerful and tell yourself constantly You are POWERFUL and you will over come anything. Many Thanks for the Impact you and you guests have on millions of people.

@eugenierunner7988 4 года назад

One of my favourite interviews, by far! What a beautiful soul, inside and out, Isaac is! Soo inspirational! He speaks so eloquently! Makes me think about my life and my choices! Thank you, Tom and Isaac!❤️

@octane2344 6 лет назад

I realized my poverty metality was perpetuated from fear of sacrifice and commitment. I wasn't giving myself permission to ASK for anything, including money, because I wasn't committed to sacrificing for the goal (of delivering value to my community). I wasn't allowing myself to feel worthy, or to feel like I have anything of value to deliver to the world, because I hadn't built up authority over my life through sacrifice and commitment. Now I know I have to start achieving small goals to build up my personal authority/credibility, and accept all the sacrifices that come with it. At the time when I make those sacrifices, I know I am truly committed to my character and values.

@barcelona12ist 6 лет назад

thank you for sharing this..it seems that i have the same problem: lack of commitment and fear of sacrifice in order to achieve my goals..can you explain what the eye opener was for you to come to that conclusion and how you take back authority over your life nowadays? maybe share some details or examples, would appreciate that a lot..

@octane2344 6 лет назад

Sibel Sürücü Really for me, it comes down to trying to do anything creative. Like trying to make promo video for a non-profit. Trying to recruit people to help me make it. And I got people who were willing to help, but my fear of failure was stopping me from actually making it. Which crushed me that I didn't have the courage to look at the possibility of success and I let the possibility of failure overwhelm me. I contemplated what the difference between me and successful people was. Like what attitude does GaryVee and Tom Bilyeu have that I don't? It seems like they had a willingness to stand up for their choices and its consequences that I just didn't have. I just had this realization recently, but goals like quitting smoking, starting exercise, and putting out content are gonna be my way of developing self credibility. Then let any success from those goals help me build momentum to whatever is next.

@barcelona12ist 6 лет назад

thank you for answering..i guess my major obstacle is the fear of suffering which blocks me immensely..start with small things and gain momentum over that seems a way to get things started..

@mariscalotz1683 5 лет назад

Well said!

@courtneyderouen 6 лет назад

POWERFUL! This is one of my favorite interviews thus far. Isaac’s insights and logic on struggle and success are words I needed to hear today. Thank you for such a great interview, as always, Tom!

@aliaa1926 5 лет назад

Thank you Tom for impact theory! Every single day i start my morning listening to your videos. Keep the valuable content and highlight these amazing people that have proven you can dp anything. Isaac, you arw superman!!! I can't believe how one person can have done ao much with their life and i am sure there is still more to come and all the while being blind. You are a true inspiration 🤗🤗

@centurionstrengthandfitnes3694 2 года назад

Brilliant. No idea how I missed this one till now. Very aligned with the whole IT mission and message. Off to get the book.

Can’t have enough with your guests on this amazing show. Watching them I personally feel the impact, new thoughts and ideas are born in my mind and soul. A big Thank you for your efforts to make this happen Tom!

@abrianaholliday5042 6 лет назад

im halfway through and this is going in my favorites playlist. i need this on repeat. also is it weird that i watch/put on impact theory when im studying/cleaning/eating/playing with my bunny son Norman. turned so many ppl on to your channel Tom, you have certainly made an impact in my life. im meeting someone tomorrow for the first time that I plan on introducing this channel to- you know when you can feel that certain vibe, very specific one that you know in your heart of hearts will appreciate this stuff? pulling ppl out of the matrix. im a 22 yo college student at SJSU and i realize this is also a passion of mine also can we talk about how much issac's voice reminds me so much of OBAMA'S???!! when my eyes are open or closed like WTF ?!!! such a powerful voice omg ❤️

@motherofthezodiac4511 6 лет назад

Omg, this is epic. Great choice of people to come in the show. Love this

@TomBilyeu 6 лет назад

@shalisealphonse3362 4 года назад

@pennilesswriter1556 6 лет назад

One of my favorite people ever! Such an amazing person and I'm so glad to have experienced this interview.

@vallivb7868 4 года назад

WOW, What a great interview. I had to rewind this after listening for the first 10 min so that my husband could listen with me. I told him, "You've got to hear this intro and then listen with me." He was sold within the first 10 minutes also. We downloaded 'Eyes Wide Open' on Audible right then. Looking forward to hearing the book. Thanks Tom and Isaac, what an inspirational way to start my day.

@michaeljensen733 6 лет назад

The most impactful takeaway for me was this concept of communication. So often we take what we see visually as the truth, but as he said, that is only 10% of the reality. This will change how I communicate and process information. Thank you for putting this out there Tom and team!

@TomBilyeu 6 лет назад

Love that! Totally agree.

@Kait__d 6 лет назад

Oh my goodness. How life changing thank you Tom!!! I love Isaac

@LunyMilky 6 лет назад

This was really impactful.. I'm still in awe on how much he has grown and how much most of us have been devolving in a sense...

@karmafairy351 6 лет назад

@valeryjuli 6 лет назад

Thank you for all the empowering insights and stories you share with each video. I hope the impact you are leaving in the world returns to you in the form of happiness and fulfilment. Gracias infinitas Tom!

@jeffwebster2366 6 лет назад

I was watching your interview with James Laurence. So interesting they both speak of the “first step”. Just taking that first step no matter the situation knowing that it won’t kill you and it is only your mind holding you back. Very powerful! Thank you for this series it is truly appreciated!

@Chopik1149 5 лет назад

Mr. Lidsky is one amazing dude. I really enjoyed this. But I also want to say that I just recently found your channel, Tom, and I am so impressed with the content and your interviewing skills and style. So natural. So refreshing. So insightful. Thank you!

@Govaertskim Год назад

As someone who often thinks in fears, this is the best interview I have ever seen on the topic. I love the idea of, what you think you see is actually a virtual reality constructed by your brain.

@Name260812 2 года назад

Tom really does his homework and that is so crucial when you interview stalwarts !

@caldwellspeaks4466 6 лет назад

Wow. This is gold. So much respect for this man and his "worldview". It's coincidental that I put up a spoken word piece on my channel just yesterday - Speaking about the identity that we maintain, creating a "me" using the blood of our former selves. We have all of this information stored up based on moments that no longer exist, and often time's we are limiting ourselves by seeing the world through a subjective lens which keeps us holding onto these ridiculous interpretations of who we think we are. Inspiring life story.... Thanks for posting, Tom.

@azureocean8571 6 лет назад

Whaaaat this guy is pure gold. I bet he's a true rolemodel especially for blind people. His accomplishments are amazing. Everyone should learn from him.

@MichaelvanderGalien 6 лет назад

Wooza, one of the most powerful interviews at IT ever. And that says a lot, because the interviews are generally extremely fascinating. What a wise guy -- and you can see and hear in his voice that these aren't platitudes he's repeating, they're truly firmly held beliefs that are completely part of his soul.

@keepingupwiththesmithsente927 4 года назад

LIDSKY, SAID, "I've been Blessed with this Vision, Born of Blindness." straight up, opened my heart to everything I thought I feared. Thanks

@Q33nLatiFa 6 лет назад

Tom you are my Oprah! lol I love your interviewing style.

@marienapadajlo5359 6 лет назад

Amazing interview AGAIN Tom! I really appreciate how you pick a person's philosophy for life apart and dig for practical application, I learn something absolutely EVERY time! Please keep the interviews coming! PS- LOVED the joke about the "convenience " of pretending to be blind, really highlighted how internalized the concept of taking ownership and not feeling sorry for himself has taken form in his life, as well as how we can reform how we think of our misfortunes etc

@hispaniccherry8594 6 лет назад

I admire both of you, Thank you for impact theory !!!

@ruzlan369 6 лет назад

Beautiful talk. Really really insightful and goes deep into 'bending' that virtual reality to the actual reality. One to remember for a long time.

@gimmetea5615 5 лет назад

I respect this man. Not one cus word was given. His attitude, his aura, the way he carries himself...not too serious but with a hint of humor. This guy brings it all. WOW!

@StevenSchrembeck 6 лет назад

Thanks. I'm slowly compiling my own Principles, and I pulled a few good seeds out of your conversation. Namely, to be proactive instead of reactive as often as possible and that fear is a pessimistic prediction of the unknown, and should be treated as such.

@fandjproductions 6 лет назад

I will be in your show in the future! Love what you guys do and the empowerment you provide to others.

@AlexaHolcombe 4 года назад

Loved this interview. How inspirational and humbling. Also, he sounds just like Obama and it makes me love him even more!

@bradspann4253 6 лет назад

@aLr_boosh 6 лет назад

Daredevil definitely came to mind while watching this. High level mentality for sure! The most important thing he mentions is taking the next step or moving forward. Sometimes we and even right now let ourselves get stuck instead of moving forward even if its just from A to B as he said.

@MarkusJunnikkala 6 лет назад

What an awesome guy. Great focus on some of the fundamental truths of life. Also loving the endless feed of sight puns.

@aohamer 6 лет назад

Tom, love ALL your content! I follow you every where. Isaac offered some great insight! Side note: I was scanning your page because I wanted to hear from powerful women at that moment, but there were only a few. I listened to those interviews which were AMAZING! I hope you bring more women to your platform. Thanks much! Kind suggestions from an avid supporter :)

@redflag4255 6 лет назад

I am resonating with you so much sir, I am sure you are a scholar of Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. What you are speaking about lines up a lot with stoic philosophy mixed with that of Napoleon Hill What we believe determines out reality. The truth and core beliefs we believe about ourselves and the world is what becomes true. This was amazing. Thank you!

@WillNelson73 6 лет назад

This is an amazing and inspiring interview

@eonryan8491 2 года назад

6:45 - your eyes only collect 10% of data for “the world” and 90% is constructed in our mind 8:34 - fear is an evolutionary mechanism than fills in the unknown (when in times of change/crises) with the worst case scenario. If we are not careful, “we think” can become “we know” 11:00 - taking control of our reality: choosing who you want to be and how you want to live your life at any moment 11:40 - there is no aha moment 16:04 - inner critic and strongman Inner critic: -insist perfection, which ironically guarantees failure -will compare us to anybody from and era, often changing definitions of success or value or purpose Stems from fear of failure 17:08 $trongman: - has no use of perfection, only progress - someone who values effort and growth - focus is momentus/the next step - not focusing on overarching enterprise/overwhelming endeavor -success for the strongman is striving to a noble pursuit 17:51 - you make a decision, consequences doesn't determine the quality of actions that you make 18:50 - keep moving forward, even after a bad decision 25:54 - everything is a choice, it is not the circumstances we confront that dictate the life that we experience 28:52(29:40) - 2 questions to give clarity 33:20(33:33 entrepreneur example) - effort > result Result is a factor of a lot more things. Ex: luck, timing, circumstance 41:47(42:17) - fear rush into the unknown
