Simon is an unshakable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together.
Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do.
Simon is the author of multiple best-selling books including Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, Together is Better, and The Infinite Game.

Trying that atm. Insread of thinkng of others I try to do nice creative things at home. Enjoying my time alone. Creativity is.a good healer and we are all creative in unique ways. Making something, drawing playing guitar etc. Everytime I managed to create sonething and I shared it with a friend, my joy was tempered.

Yes, that was my moment of epiphany yesterday. That we were never meant to go through it alone. Sometimes we need help, sometimes others need our help. To give and to receive. To love and to be loved. It's in these human moments we create relationships that make our journey meaningful and beautiful.❤❤

Simon you are truly an inspiration! I have seen many of your videos and listened to many of your podcasts. You often talk about the way people think and feel. What impressed me the most is that you showed and talked about your own struggles and vulnerabilities. This is why your so inspiring is that not only have you had the highs but you share your lows. It’s this experience combined with the courage to share makes you a truly special individual.

This is truer than words can express. And it is timeless wisdom. And something that COULD be taught at every important stage of growing up including before going out into the world after college. But instead, our every-(wo)man-for-himself culture encourages the opposite line of thinking. Time for that to change. More than time! Thanks for being one of the voices willing to lead the way.

The question is how to overcome going it alone when all your energy is spent surviving and you are not able to create the deep meaningful relationships that keep you motivated & going

@1Kings22 8 ай бұрын

You may start with cultivating a relationship with self: treating yourself with compassion and understanding, like a person you want to help to experience a better life. You may also start helping others, in small ways. This actually lifts up your own spirit to enjoy life, not just survive. It may also give you opportunities to meet people whom you may develop meaningful relationships with.

@hardipsandhu_777 9 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, sometimes in this life’s journey we may be alone. We enter this life and leave this life all alone. It’s important to be able to believe in yourself and to inspire/motivate yourself to reach your goals. There will be challenges on the road and it will make you stronger as you excel. It may take longer alone. If you are lucky to have additional support in life… it’s icing on the cake!

@@hardipsandhu_777sometimes i ponder why i was alienated by all . i was alone battling , i am alone and by no means i have any proof if anyone is there even in future. the world is not fair for everyone. it's brutal to some and easy for other , some gets privilege while others lack and here in this selfish world how can we find a person who'll be with us in our worst day . i agree with Mr. simon that we do need however it becomes merely a hypothetical concept for some . and what if we don't have that person.? slowly and gradually at some point we will question our own ability. it's easy to say believe in yourself but very hard to actually practice this. why the world is made like this ? it's just another kind of death where a person dies every minute every second to an extent when he thinks he'll better off dead. sorry to say but this is the reality I have witnessed

@@ysona9805 Mr Rogers once said “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping!”. When in life an individual is in a state where they feel very negative and low and feel they have no one. There are many people out there helping… they may not be initially a friend but they will be willing to give a helping hand or an ear to listen (Churches, Temples, Therapist, Community Centres, Library, various associations Therapy Dog programs, various support programs). There are people helping. They may not necessarily be a friend but they do CARE about supporting an individual to excel! I know what you mean by questioning one’s own abilities. I’ve been down that path too. The only thing I know is I put my heart in my work and do my best. I may not be able to achieve level of success as someone who has that network of one or more friends to excel beyond what they’ve imagined for themselves. But I can do my best to help others achieve if I have the capability to support whether they are a friend or not. If I am able to support or share knowledge I will. Look for the helpers and be a helper wherever possible!

Simon Sinek everthing is really energy.Those who foster othering need to be focused & observed ehy they are doing what they do.There's in my observation that mostly people applaud to those who only use the othering purpose for their gains,even by framing & colouring them through peaceful shields& mechanisms for their personal egos,either that be individual or as institutes as the subject.Peole only connect through this energeticism.

And that's why I'll go until I crash and burn. No plan b for me, no backup, help is not on the way. I go until I can't anymore, and then some more. Not everybody will achieve greatness or happiness; some of us will fail, miserably. The difference is not in base value. Some of us never had a chance but, not knowing that, still tried. I - for me- have not and I know I will go down, but I will go down fighting.

Know thyself. Preferably before you worry about knowing others. Live your life your way. For you. Because if you don't, you'll resent those who stop you doing it. I'm 73 and I say that to myself all the time. I am my greatest failure and my greatest success. And both of me I'm happy with. One allows me to laugh at my stupidity. The other at being good enough to fix my stupidity. Burnout happens when you do what you think others want you to. When in reality other don't give it a thought. We know our destination. Live life so you enjoy your trip, for you. IF you gather others going the same way great. If not great. Make that one person in your life you, and you will always be with you. Never lie to yourself. Never lie for yourself. Seeing true helps you fix your stupidity. Good luck have fun.

I am that person for many, however I don't feel I have that person in my life. I have said those same words to many children and adults around me (I'm a primary and secondary school teacher, I am a friend, a sister and a daughter, I was a girlfriend too). I cannot remember one single person that has said these words to me. I've heard "I knew you could do it and I'm proud of you" from a single friend but ... Nothing and nobody else that I remember.
