"No one is coming to save us" - a lesson on taking responsibility for your life from the Andes

- In 1972, a plane carrying rugby team from Uruguay crashed in the high Andes. 25 passengers survived the crash... and then found themselves trapped high on a glacier. Initially they waited for search parties to arrive. On day 10, they heard on the radio "the search has been called off". This day they realised that if they were to survive, they had to rescue themselves.

What is Persuasion?
* What does it take to move people to action?
* What does it take to have impact when you communicate?
* How can I inspire the people around me to be the best version of themselves?
These are questions that I answer. I answer these questions with tools that work for politicians, business leaders, entrepreneurs and professors.

woah ... this excellent point to contemplate on ... *Only Ourselves Are Going to Save Us ... Make A Plan for Ourselves & Execute It* ... 👍😊
this goes well with something i just came across yesterday
AirBnB founder advising us to *"Solve Our Own Problems"* ... as the starting point of a business
if we have solved a problem for ourselves, others will have the same problem, share that solution ...
Great quote Thank you 🙏
Coner, in less than three days time I will have sent the most bone chilling, audacious, meticulously researched, and beautifully crafted digital proposal of my entire life. Well over 8 years of my life has been spent for this exact moment. I have listened to you Coner for months, and you will undoubtedly be a part of my success. I have used all of my 38 years of digital photo mastery, extreme high end digital production ability, corporate print buying knowledge, research skills, historical knowledge, intuition, and prescience to ensure I will be successful. Thank you Coner Neil, I have said it before and I will say it again, you are a good man.
"the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising to one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would come her way. Whatever you can do or dream you can begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." Goethe
"What are you waiting for ?...."
"No help is coming..."
"No one is coming to save you..."
Thank you for the motivation and the inspiration that i receive each time i see your videos .

merci!
I've Been looking for you for a very long Time.
I Love listening To your Amazing stories.
Kind words, thank you
Thanks conor for this journey together.
NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US. it's an awesome realization.
If it has to be it's up to me .
Thank you for short thought provoking clips that are practical .
Kind words, thank you
One of the most valuable videos ever for me...... Thank you Sir
🙏
Thank you Conor for reminding us👍
Excellent information as usual. This is a powerful theme for our lives. I see this all of the time with my college students when they graduate. For a while (sometimes years), they sort of wait for vague doors to magically open or they wait for some "adult" to lead them and guide them. As you say, the key is to take the time to get clarity and a compelling vision for our lives. Then, of course, take action to move toward that vision!!!!
Waiting for a sign 🪧…you can wait a whole lifetime
@@ConorNeill Yup. Well said.
Hi Conor, Happy Birthday and thank you so very very much for all your teachings and experiences you share with everybody. We feel your love in the way you talk and the interest you show for all of us to improve the way we are. Mission cumplida, Sr. Congratulations. I see all your videos and they have truly helped me very much.
True ; well said , no one is to coming to save us .. Thank You Conor sir for sharing your thought process on how to work in a helpless situation 🌹👍🙏
It’s a harsh statement… but once you accept it you gain incredible power to begin your own journey
Thank you, Conor. Wise messages
No one is coming to help !
It's really that I am acting these days like someone should come to help .
Thanks Mr. Neill for message and you made it and you granted this help. Much appreciated
You are very welcome
So good!
Wonderful speech
Thanks 🙏
Great message! Thanks for the inspiration Conor! Enjoy your weekend.
Thank you 🙏
Great words.. No one is coming to save us. But more important thing is did you realize this statement in your life because most of the time we were just relying on some one that he might help you or he will give you a chance to change your life.. But it dose not happen in our life.
As you said, Conor Sir, we should write our plan which we want to achieve in our life and set the path.
Thanks Conor, today's lesson really realized me and change my thought. Loves your speech.
Thank you 🙏 important reflections
Clarity on our goals, finding out what we are running after every day and why we get up early in the morning, all in all, what the purpose of our life is.
It's true. It's the foremost reflection we need to make and set very clearly in our minds. Righ after that, it comes the easiest, mechanical part of it: we just need to hopefully keep a high level of energy to stay healthy (and pray for it) in order to execute that plan, activity by activity, task by task, following the timeline.
Thanks Conor once again for another insightful video to take a deep look inside each of us. Best regards.
Great reflection
thank you for another great Video!
Thanks 🙏
Very thoughtfully put together. Many thanks Conor..I will also be sharing it with some in my close circle. God bless you!
Thank you 🙏
Excellent video! No one is coming to rescue you. Self indulgence, clarity of thoughts, and preparation.
Absolutely!
"No one is coming ..." - that's not a convenient message - but still a bit of truth - thanks
Harsh but true
I watched the film Alive over 20 years ago, I recently watched it again. I needed a bit of inspiration and motivation, Nando certainly gave me my motivation back to complete a challenge I had in my life, not sure why I needed this, but I remembered the film and thought if Nando can do that, then I can do this! I did finish the task i set out to do, even though it was tiny compared to Nando’s, sometimes you need that little reminder to ‘just do it!!’. Go for it people…:) thanks Conor.
Hi Jim now I’m curious. What project did you get done?
Thanks Conor - Wise words that i needed to hear right at this moment as i am immobilised right now with uncertainty. Ready to take action.
You got this!
Love from India
Keep doing the good work.. ✨💜
Thank you 🙏
What a nice advice! Loved it!
Thank you 🙏
Very good, Keep going!
Thank you 🙏
You are amazing _ fantastic 👏
Thank you 🙏
Awesome video! Thanks you!
Glad you liked it!
I've never waited for that(someone to come and save me)...I have certainty of my actions...Thanks! Great history! The part that they literally eat each other is scarying.....I'd rather eat myself.
Amazing thought process...How to start...i mean i am thrilled by words of wisdom..
i am already crashed by circumstances...now the thing is how to start, where to start...
will hear again and again till i get the result...thanks Conor
how to start? 2 lists:
1) everything & person that has given me energy in the last 24 hours;
2) everything and person that has taken my energy in the last 24 hours
add more 1, reduce 2... keep going.
Great motivation 👏
So glad!
Great content as always 👏
Thank you 🙏
THIS is great video, we fail not because we lack motivation but because we lack clarity . I hav just discovered Warren Rustand. I would like to read something about him
He has a book The Leader Within Us: Mindset, Principles, and Tools for a Life By Design amzn.eu/d/35FY0Vq
Una salus victis, nullam sperare salutem. Thanks Conor!
Carpe diem, momento mori.
No search party coming for your Rescue 🙏
Thank a lot. I would like to know how they got themselves out of the mountains and saved themselves
there's a movie called "Alive" from 1993 that tells the whole story
I am living my dreams because I followed my mentor Art Williams who said 33yrs ago Taking Responsibility is the first and an Action plan is the 2nd step And Napoleon Hill’s Book Think and Grow Rich has the six steps to achieve any goals.

Thanks! 😃
@Conor thanks for sharing this insight. 🙏 I am one of many people who don't have a written plan, but I am attempting this now!
