I must become my most powerful self with the sharpest way of thinking to be financially free and live life on my own terms as I see fit. Your video popped up right on time as to where I am currently in life and I want change. I been partying and bullsh*tting way to long I finally reached a point where I’m tired. Thank you for your words of wisdom. Much Appreciated!
I love this video. I am 44 unemployed and very lost in my life. I would like to embark on a new career path but caught between my old life. This content helped me regain trust in myself and helped me realize that I can make the shift. Thank you.
Video was very informative I am in a period where I am thinking of gearing my life to a different goal e even though I am very comfortable in my present situation. This video has come to me in the right moment. When you said choose the right mountain to climb it has given me a new understanding All the best on your journey
This couldn’t have come at a better time! 50 yo, a mum & in the same job for so many years to pay the bills, & unable financially to make the leap into my new career direction has been holding me back & making me freeze. Thank you so much for the motivation Simon & clear direction. I will start making some positive moves towards the knew me 🙏🏼
Too many of us are doing too little of the things that bring us joy and running someone else’s race 5:14 this is an amazing quote 🙌❤️ exactly where I was before
When the pain of where you are now > the pain of taking action. That is the catalyst for you - taking action. - taking responsibility/ ownership for where you are - And where you want to be. Only when you start owning where you are and your future that change can start happen for you. No more blaming other people. No more blaming things out of your control. Socrates - secret to success is not in fighting the old, but in building the new. 1. Clarity 2. Write your Goals on a Piece on Paper - Read it everyday to imprint it in your subconscious mind 3. Align your Actions - to achieve your goal 4. Impact - what legacy you leave 5. Value -- What are your strengths ? 6. Make time for taking action 7. Curate the IDEAL ENVIRONMENT for you to take action --> To achieve your Goal. Cut out negativity/ toxicity. Surround yourself with like-minded people / positivity. 8. Consistent Actions EVERYDAY to achieve WHERE and WHO you want to be. Knowledge is only POTENTIAL Power The real Power lies in your ability to TAKE ACTION / EXECUTE
Did a reset I put down weed and alcohol today I missed my 1st day of my 2nd job today because I was high and drunk last night, had an awakening and said "no more self destruction" I love you all "the pain of discipline is greater than the pain of REGRET" 🖤
But i have learnt to honest to friends or a family member who wants to come over and drop in to instead set another date where we can see one another. I have not been selfish in that sense in a long time in my life. But now I'm selfish with my time. You're spot on Simon what you look at starts looking at you too.
This is of course when I have set a target for starting and finishing reading a book. I now see time or the use thereof anew ever since & how limited and how useless it is when handled skillfully. Clicking on your video yesterday solidified this move in my life. And always being honest to my self. So refreshing. You feel taller within yourself
I have so much I can say the more I write. The journey of connecting the mind to your heart man I set these intentions right before retiring to bed. Even as I type this i am thinking as such. This journey is so intimate. It is worth attaining. Nothing can convince me otherwise. I appreciate you Simon. Mziwakhe here from South Africa Johannesburg Soweto
I climbed the wrong mountain slowly thinking it’s a process and the hardships I went through made me feel I was in the right path only to be proven wrong. It was the wrong struggle.
Risk Control is one of the holy grails to obtain changes without losing everything, so start in small steps and leverage up when it goes in the right direction.
I have this on repeat in the background when I work and paint every day! Thank you so much for being such an amazing inspiration, Simon! Please continue to share your wisdom and help each other!
@@simonalexandero My pleasure Simon! Looking forward to learning more from you (And also in the near future meet you in person one day)! Take care and wishing you a beautiful and wonderful day!
I really like that serious TH-camr’s are emphasising “what value are you adding to others” it’s really making people look at their lives are about being part as a community
I know my mountain. I resonate with your comments about drinking and binge watching videos. That's been my distraction and addiction. I want to change now. My life stagnated since my dad died suddenly 5 years ago. I got really depressed and stopped caring, and im just sick of being this way. I want to change and stop feeling sorry for myself. My mountain is being completely fulfilled alone, to be a female entrepreneur, and not need a partner.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said it quite well in the importance of 'vision'. You need to see and visualize the goal clearly. Then each day becomes a journey to that dream, giving purpose and meaning. Like if a boat never has a destination, then you will meander a meaningless journey.

The concept of commitment has been deeply influencing my thoughts lately. I would like to hear your insights on how to cultivate commitment, how to begin, and when to know it's time to stop
Thanks Simon just was laid off a job of 23 years and I'm going to start my own channel with the wisdom I have acquired over the years. Your channel helped me decide. I subscribed immediately and will be watching. Thanks for the push. M.
I disagree with you on empathy, when we are so empathetic we focus on others and attract victim personalities. They may think we are vulnerable and that they can use us. It starts with our families and friends. we must solve problems and help others without emotions. To focus our energies on our own growth, we must establish boundaries.
You can have great empathy without making emotional choices. If you learn to develop healthy boundaries both internally and with others, empathizing is not dangerous. You can empathize while still standing your ground and protecting yourself. You can even empathize without taking any action-empathy can be your own internal experience, your perspective of a person or situation that you don’t even share. Empathy just allows you to have compassion and perhaps deeper understanding….What you do with it is a different thing entirely.
DAILY I'm doing exercises, pranayama....doing hand mudhra to enhance my memory power.... I have started doing brain 🧠 Gym.... I want to become a successful physiotherapist....I want to serve people add value to people's life
Very powerful message i would like to remind everyone that the bounce back from a setback is not overnight it is sometimes painful and lonely stay focused.
“Yi bu, yi bu…lai.” Take this step…the first step now…where you are, now…takes this step…the first step now…where you are…..repeat, repeat, repeat with each first step from where you are and arrive…where you imagined, where you wanted to be, who you are, doing what you want….LIfe changes, you change, but this never changes. Take the risk to take the first step….now…wherever you are. Thank you for helping me to remember Simon.
Today is my birthday and this video came across my screen. I’ve been feeling a little anxious because I’m not happy about how my day is going which ultimately is related to money. I really really needed to hear this. Thank you 🙏🏽 . I’m going to spend my evening mapping out what you said!🎉
This is very inspiring and brings clarity. I just turned 50 and have an amazing marriage, family and career. I am by all measures successful. But I still feel that I am lacking. Taking the time to define what success looks like to me is something I have never done. Time to get started!
Thank you for your insightful words. "I clicked on this video because there are things that I want to change". At 60, I know there is still time for me to change, parts of me to become that "person" I believe I am supposed to be. Thank you again. I am looking forward to watching the others.
The amount of value in this video is insane. I stopped to jot down a quick note near the Bruce Lee part, then I found myself halfway down a second page. I've been struggling with business decisions, wanting to hold onto the 'success' familiar to me. Analysis paralysis. Immersing myself in the activities and thoughts of my future self is a game changer for making these decisions. And you're right, all winners are risk takers. Thank you. 💜
A lot of great advice Simon. My two most favorite nuggets of wisdom from you are 1. "Start with the end in mind." and 2. Your emphasis on creating an environment that makes it easier for you to become the you that you want to be. The power of an ideal vision and the importance of environment cannot be ignored. Also, I appreciate your distinction between knowledge being "potential power" and your ability to take action being "actual" power. Thank you for passing along the knowledge that others have passed on to you. Paying it forward is a worthy way to live! -Robert (Pleasanton, California)
you don't have to let go of the whole of your old life!!! just think of and do and add on new good things step by step.. keep the good of the old life though!!! there's a strength in that foundation, in the good we do have, and we can build and add on to that
Yes...i took a yr ago to stand up and leave relocate to another state without anyone with my children. Now is a little hard in my new state but im making more money and my own place.
crazy Algorithm... been wokring on myself, trying to change my life for the better. now these types of videos show up. thanks for the informative video!
I hear you and everything you say makes sense and at the same time I reflect on my thpughts and I do not know where or how to begin my new journey. I feel stuck and clueless but with 100 ideas but still thinking if any of them would actually be what I am here to do…anyway, thank you!!! I have hope 🙏🏻
Your question alone is a coaching question that can turn ones life around if they ponder on it critically. As to why I have signed up for coaching with you, I think time will tell. You give so much value, and it's so incredible watching, listening, and reading anything you put out there...
Setting up an environment that makes it impossible not to succeed means a lot. Also, I resonated with ‘if you’re next year looked exactly like this year would you be closer or further from your goal’ hit hard!
Using the Ideal Day and Week as a Measuring & Comparision tool. It was more than useful to be reminded to operate from your future self (future you/person) to do the things you want and to create the life you want. To live it now not to wait. Thanks for sharing
Hello Simon, I recently came across your channel and I'm in complete awe at your content. Your format, style of presenting, and the ratio of value provided to time spent is 100:1. Keep up the great work and I'm sure you'll grow exponentially impacting the lives of more people than you could imagine for the better! Lots of love ❣️ Arjun
Good video, honest, compassionate and to the point. Brian Tracy is great. I am working through his goal setting booklet again after going through a lot of loss and bereavement that has left me feeling very lost and in the dark about what to do from here. I read that it helps to draw each goal as well as writing down its steps, so I'm going to try that this time.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO. iT WAS EXCELLENT, and I took some notes. I am really starting to be more receptive to this change. I will take actiion and execute my plan! and live with intention -Thank you very much 1000X's!!!!😀
Agreed, sweet. Empathy is a must in life but being to caring for other people will eventually bring you down. In psychology one can have an internal or an external locus of control which brings very different outcomes in ones life. I believe in having an internal locus of control produces a better rounded human being.❤❤
Although this may sound selfish it isn't. It took a Dr of psychology to teach me that one has to focus on themselves before they can give care and compassion to their friends. Remember a friend is a general description of an associate in your life. Humans can go from being a friend to an enemy in one day. Answer, just believe in yourself and don't worry about having friends coz they will not be friends when you most need them. Trust YOURSELF!!!
I love this Simon. I’m in a job that’s been my career for many years, I retrained in the pandemic in a job I’d love to do & to swop careers. The job I’m in is so stressful & so busy I feel I don’t have the headspace to build my other career & so haven’t moved far at all. I’m also the main earner. I love what you’re saying I just feel on a roundabout stuck & unsure how I can change my situation which I’d love to do in 6 months!!
Thank you Kate and for sharing here. It feels like the first step is to create some headspace for you to build your other career. Small things you could do is to start saying No to things that are not aligned to where you would like to be to protect more of your time outside of work to build your other career. If you still need more time after that, it may require a transition step of moving into another job to give you the time you need, e.g. I moved from a high pressured job in trading within the financial services industry to a research job which had less pressure and “kinder” hours to allow me to build my other career - what I now get to do today.
@@simonalexandero thank you so much & yes I hear you & the role I’m in is a much lower level than my experience with pay reflected! post pandemic desperation. I’d have easily gone by now but with kids in the mix not so brave anymore! Thank you so much for your advice I will certainly have a deeper think as I’m studying more from sept so yes need less responsibility for sure but still able to pay for my course. Sick of talking about it Simon 😂 I just need to do something about it! Thank you so much for your advice will take all of it onboard & move forwards. Have a lovely weekend K
I'm in my mid-50s and lost my job of 15 years after being successful and happy with my career. I've tried so hard to get into a new position but with the pandemic and a shift in today's world I'm finding things hard to get a leg up. I'm trying not to lay blame on these outside forces but it's so hard to focus. I'm now in a dark place where ending it all seems like the best way to stop it all. I can't do this. I don't want to have my daughter lose her father.
You can do this Mike. I don’t know you but the fact that you are here watching videos like this tells me you want to make things happen. I’ve been in dark places many times in the past and it can feel like there is never going to be light at the end of the tunnel. There is and will be. We just can’t see it when we’re in that place. And it is why it is so important to take things one day and one step at a time. Start small and start building some momentum. And just imagine how proud your daughter would be of you and the lessons you will be able to share with her when she faces her own challenges in life ❤️
I have come across so maby sekf help TH-cam videos , but this is so profound , its not for the sake of algorithm , its pure, it's different, i wrote down most of the tips you gave , thank you alex
Thank you for this video. It was really nice to listen to. What resonated most with me are all the pockets of wisdom you have mentioned that fully makes the points relatable. I still feel lost and will watch it a few times over and I aim to journal some points. I find it really difficult to decide what life I want to aim for and visualise the next 30 years so I may research that a bit more. Looking forward to exploring more of your videos
This video offers invaluable insights for anyone feeling lost or anxious about their future. 🌟 Taking responsibility, gaining clarity, and aligning actions with personal values are crucial steps towards creating a fulfilling life.
I’ve come across this video at a crucial time in my life. I believe I know what I want to do and I found a track to follow to get there. I’m not sure about the finding what success means, but I know to begin with it will involve being able to pay my bills without having to worry. Without having to do anything extra to get it done. But it will also involve personal fulfillment, and what I do to help others.
There can’t be a better time for this video. Things never do according to plan, it’s not necessary that things always happen according to what I pictured in my head from the thinking/ planning capacity of my mind. We make a thousand plans in such a short period of time then tend to get sad and feel like we’ve failed when we’re not able to fulfill those goals. Everything I’ve been working since 2 years has fallen, I feel like I’m back to square one and can’t figure out where to start. Where do I start picking up the pieces and start a new job and find the courage, determination to start another business to achieve financial freedom, mind you I don’t have anyone to lay back on. We started from scratch, every single time.
Some inspiring words. Thank you. Life defo spikes in it's difficulties from time to time. I've been embracing but I also need to find a way to progress.
my self realised life will be next 6 month goal to change according to me who really am ... you gave road map for that thank you for that................
I loved this Simon. This video made me feel so seen and thank you for such a calm and wise way of reminding me that I can do the hard things needed to make a shift in my life and my situation.
Ive wrote down what i want so many times. It only worked w a few things but not really. Success to me is just having inner peace and having good character. Im not really motivated by monet but i understand life is easier w financial abundance. I have nothing special or tangible to offer to people so i guess im destined to stay in the same place.
With a clear plan and constructive feedback, you can do alot of what I did to get to freedom and success alot quicker than the 7-8 years it took me. Stay Uncommon!
That example of the exercise you shared at 10:17 resonated with me. It’s like extrapolation in excel, which I use a lot, imagine if you can extrapolate a small action that happens every single day, like reading or working out, who would you be in 10 or 20 years?
Great word my friend! I’ve been watching motivating and inspiring content on TH-cam recently and the algorithm decided I should watch your video. Glad I did.
Loved this idea of working from your future self. So i am going to be asking what would my future self do? And hope that I will narrow the gap. Thank you Simon ❤

No more blaming things out of your control.

Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.
Thank you 🙏
crazy Algorithm... been wokring on myself, trying to change my life for the better. now these types of videos show up. thanks for the informative video!
Glad it resonated 🙌
I defo don't want to be stuck on social media. That is not life or success for me
What is life or success for you?😊
Yes!!! We need purpose, a vision!
@@eysadiq9088 👏👏👏
It's never too late for a change
👏👏👏
I hear you and everything you say makes sense and at the same time I reflect on my thpughts and I do not know where or how to begin my new journey. I feel stuck and clueless but with 100 ideas but still thinking if any of them would actually be what I am here to do…anyway, thank you!!! I have hope 🙏🏻
❤️❤️❤️
@@simonalexandero amazing you actually reply 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
@@fawnbornstein8211 grateful for the comments and so I try my best to reply to as many as I can 😊
I took the path everyone else took . Find the things that give you joy to each new day!!! You won't regret it ❤
Well said Tamara 👏
Your question alone is a coaching question that can turn ones life around if they ponder on it critically. As to why I have signed up for coaching with you, I think time will tell. You give so much value, and it's so incredible watching, listening, and reading anything you put out there...
Thank you so much for the kind words. Means a lot ❤️
Setting up an environment that makes it impossible not to succeed means a lot. Also, I resonated with ‘if you’re next year looked exactly like this year would you be closer or further from your goal’ hit hard!
🙌🙌🙌
It is easy to begin and it is hard to finish!!! That sums up change perfectly!!!
👏👏👏
Using the Ideal Day and Week as a Measuring & Comparision tool. It was more than useful to be reminded to operate from your future self (future you/person) to do the things you want and to create the life you want. To live it now not to wait. Thanks for sharing
Here’s to that 🙌
Hello Simon,
I recently came across your channel and I'm in complete awe at your content.
Your format, style of presenting, and the ratio of value provided to time spent is 100:1.
Keep up the great work and I'm sure you'll grow exponentially impacting the lives of more people than you could imagine for the better!
Lots of love ❣️
Arjun
Arjun - reading your comment has made my day. Thank you ❤️
Thank you. You helped me realise I need to take steps to become the person I want to become.
Exciting times ahead Jodie 🙌
Good video, honest, compassionate and to the point. Brian Tracy is great. I am working through his goal setting booklet again after going through a lot of loss and bereavement that has left me feeling very lost and in the dark about what to do from here. I read that it helps to draw each goal as well as writing down its steps, so I'm going to try that this time.
Thank you Kate and so sorry to hear. Thoughts are with you as you navigate this challenging phase ❤️
THANK YOU for continuing to complement me for clicking on your videos.
❤️❤️❤️
Glad I found you. My life needs a change, I know the why, just not the what and how. Your words are powerful!
Thank you 🙏
Damnnnn… when this shows up in your feed, the universe is trying to tell you something.😂😂
❤️❤️❤️
Great video! So many gems dropped. I love how you said it starts with commitment...“it’s easy to start but it’s harder to finish”
Well said 👏
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO. iT WAS EXCELLENT, and I took some notes. I am really starting to be more receptive to this change. I will take actiion and execute my plan! and live with intention -Thank you very much 1000X's!!!!😀
Love it! Exciting times ahead 🔥
Im actually extremely happy with where im at RN lol. I honestly surpassed what a thought id be by a little bit by this time. Lol
That’s amazing and so happy for you! What do you feel has helped you to surpass where you thought you would be?
Simon you are AWESOME! Love your youtube video. 1) Take Ownership 2) Commit to future self 3) Consistent action to align to my VISION .
Thank you 🙏
Great summary!
@@CashalaMon 👏
Agreed, sweet. Empathy is a must in life but being to caring for other people will eventually bring you down. In psychology one can have an internal or an external locus of control which brings very different outcomes in ones life. I believe in having an internal locus of control produces a better rounded human being.❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
Although this may sound selfish it isn't. It took a Dr of psychology to teach me that one has to focus on themselves before they can give care and compassion to their friends. Remember a friend is a general description of an associate in your life. Humans can go from being a friend to an enemy in one day. Answer, just believe in yourself and don't worry about having friends coz they will not be friends when you most need them. Trust YOURSELF!!!
You are doing it perfectly. We are all loving it the way it is. Don't let anyone to sneak in on your magic.
👏👏👏
Thank you for taking the time to offer such valueable information for free. I will put this into action and send it to my teen too.
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. I feel like this video speaks to me more than any other self improvement video I have watched
❤️❤️❤️
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing.
I am focusing on being nicer to everyone and........ expecting nothing in return.
Love that ❤️
I love this Simon. I’m in a job that’s been my career for many years, I retrained in the pandemic in a job I’d love to do & to swop careers. The job I’m in is so stressful & so busy I feel I don’t have the headspace to build my other career & so haven’t moved far at all. I’m also the main earner. I love what you’re saying I just feel on a roundabout stuck & unsure how I can change my situation which I’d love to do in 6 months!!
Thank you Kate and for sharing here. It feels like the first step is to create some headspace for you to build your other career. Small things you could do is to start saying No to things that are not aligned to where you would like to be to protect more of your time outside of work to build your other career. If you still need more time after that, it may require a transition step of moving into another job to give you the time you need, e.g. I moved from a high pressured job in trading within the financial services industry to a research job which had less pressure and “kinder” hours to allow me to build my other career - what I now get to do today.
@@simonalexandero thank you so much & yes I hear you & the role I’m in is a much lower level than my experience with pay reflected! post pandemic desperation. I’d have easily gone by now but with kids in the mix not so brave anymore! Thank you so much for your advice I will certainly have a deeper think as I’m studying more from sept so yes need less responsibility for sure but still able to pay for my course. Sick of talking about it Simon 😂 I just need to do something about it! Thank you so much for your advice will take all of it onboard & move forwards. Have a lovely weekend K
@@kate-ps9io you too Kate ❤️
I'm in my mid-50s and lost my job of 15 years after being successful and happy with my career. I've tried so hard to get into a new position but with the pandemic and a shift in today's world I'm finding things hard to get a leg up. I'm trying not to lay blame on these outside forces but it's so hard to focus. I'm now in a dark place where ending it all seems like the best way to stop it all. I can't do this. I don't want to have my daughter lose her father.
You can do this Mike. I don’t know you but the fact that you are here watching videos like this tells me you want to make things happen. I’ve been in dark places many times in the past and it can feel like there is never going to be light at the end of the tunnel. There is and will be. We just can’t see it when we’re in that place. And it is why it is so important to take things one day and one step at a time. Start small and start building some momentum. And just imagine how proud your daughter would be of you and the lessons you will be able to share with her when she faces her own challenges in life ❤️
I have come across so maby sekf help TH-cam videos , but this is so profound , its not for the sake of algorithm , its pure, it's different, i wrote down most of the tips you gave , thank you alex
So glad to hear that it resonated and thank you for taking the time to watch it. It really does mean a lot 🙏
I just started to hear this. He has such good information, all in one place. This motivated me, thank you.
So glad to hear you’re enjoying it so far ❤️
I’ll be watching your growth. In many perspective. Stay positive. God bless you
Thank you 🙏
This vid full of wisdom, the quotes are perfect mantras and for vision board, I’ll rewatch and take notes, thank you! 🙏 ❤
So glad to hear you enjoyed it 🙏
Thank you for this video. It was really nice to listen to. What resonated most with me are all the pockets of wisdom you have mentioned that fully makes the points relatable. I still feel lost and will watch it a few times over and I aim to journal some points. I find it really difficult to decide what life I want to aim for and visualise the next 30 years so I may research that a bit more. Looking forward to exploring more of your videos
Thank you 🙏
Just found your channel. This advice hits hard and makes sense. I’m no longer afraid to show up for myself. A year fr now… think about that… ☀️🍋😌
Just imagine what would be possible 🙌
I subscribed today .. you are awesome .. no interchange in the video and you are straight to the point.. 👊🏾
Thank you 🙏
This video offers invaluable insights for anyone feeling lost or anxious about their future. 🌟 Taking responsibility, gaining clarity, and aligning actions with personal values are crucial steps towards creating a fulfilling life.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you! I really needed to hear this today. Hoping for better days ahead 😊
Here’s to that 🙌
I’ve come across this video at a crucial time in my life. I believe I know what I want to do and I found a track to follow to get there. I’m not sure about the finding what success means, but I know to begin with it will involve being able to pay my bills without having to worry. Without having to do anything extra to get it done. But it will also involve personal fulfillment, and what I do to help others.
👏👏👏
There can’t be a better time for this video. Things never do according to plan, it’s not necessary that things always happen according to what I pictured in my head from the thinking/ planning capacity of my mind. We make a thousand plans in such a short period of time then tend to get sad and feel like we’ve failed when we’re not able to fulfill those goals.
Everything I’ve been working since 2 years has fallen, I feel like I’m back to square one and can’t figure out where to start. Where do I start picking up the pieces and start a new job and find the courage, determination to start another business to achieve financial freedom, mind you I don’t have anyone to lay back on. We started from scratch, every single time.
Beautiful words here to read for us all ❤️
Change will happen at the end of your comfort zone. And change will happen if u face challenges and u will grow.
👏👏👏
Yes Simon, your speach is amazing...I'm saving and liking all of your videos......
Thank you Jeeva. Means a lot 🙏
Thank you. This video really spoke to me and helped me a lot. God bless you brother. 👌🙏
So glad to hear it resonated ❤️
Some inspiring words. Thank you. Life defo spikes in it's difficulties from time to time. I've been embracing but I also need to find a way to progress.
Thank you and here’s to that Marlon 🙌
This is wisdom and a confirmation to a prayer and a conversation that I was having with myself
Thank you 🙏
This message right here is just in time for me. Watching from Uganda 🇺🇬. Thanks for sharing
Glad it resonated and thank you for watching 🙌
Absolutely phenomenal guidance and delivery with supreme calm power and genuine compassion for those that adhere to this knowledge

my self realised life will be next 6 month goal to change according to me who really am ... you gave road map for that thank you for that................
Exciting times ahead 🔥
@@simonalexandero 🙏
Just came across you, really love your content. Thank you for the positivity!
Thank you and so glad to hear that you are enjoying it 🙏
I loved this Simon. This video made me feel so seen and thank you for such a calm and wise way of reminding me that I can do the hard things needed to make a shift in my life and my situation.
So glad it resonated 🙌
Ive wrote down what i want so many times. It only worked w a few things but not really. Success to me is just having inner peace and having good character. Im not really motivated by monet but i understand life is easier w financial abundance. I have nothing special or tangible to offer to people so i guess im destined to stay in the same place.
We all have something special to offer the world. We may just not have discovered what that is yet ❤️
Take actions every day become that successful person now
👏👏👏
Thank you Simon, I need to hear this over and over again.
So glad to hear that it resonated 🙌
you have such a great philosophical mind. thank you my friend!
Thank you ❤️
Awesome! Thank you for sharing some of the most powerful content on youtube, the messages are much needed.
Thank you 🙏
First time listener today-glad I found you! Great wisdom here, thanks!
Thank you so much 🙏
Appreciate the wise counsel Simon - especially questioning oneself re: meaning of success.
Thank you 🙏
Love your video! Liked and subbed.
What resonated with me is the calm stillness in Your voice.
Thank you so much 🙏
With a clear plan and constructive feedback, you can do alot of what I did to get to freedom and success alot quicker than the 7-8 years it took me. Stay Uncommon!
👏👏👏
That example of the exercise you shared at 10:17 resonated with me. It’s like extrapolation in excel, which I use a lot, imagine if you can extrapolate a small action that happens every single day, like reading or working out, who would you be in 10 or 20 years?
👏👏👏
Going to listen to your video for a long time.thanks. great timing
So glad to hear you enjoyed it ❤️
Great word my friend! I’ve been watching motivating and inspiring content on TH-cam recently and the algorithm decided I should watch your video. Glad I did.
I’m glad it did and appreciate you for taking the time to watch 🙏
Thank you for posting this video! This was a life changing message.
Thank you 🙏
Loved this idea of working from your future self. So i am going to be asking what would my future self do? And hope that I will narrow the gap. Thank you Simon ❤
Thank you Carole 🙌
