He discusses why we need to nurture friendships (in both good times and bad), explains why anyone can be a leader — and reveals the secret to discovering your “why” in life.

Charlatan.

I’d love to learn what kind of glasses those are Simon has
?
I'm fine
Covid19 (2019) exactly 100 years before there was Influenza (1918). Nature is Powerful
Make Statements instead of Questions 🙂
COVID was literally the blessed year of my life. I refused to fear and I lived and spoke faith. God is good and in control.
Everything he said is exactly my situation! it took this video and his words to let me know it is trauma & depression..
I ended up breaking down feeling the desperate helplessness I was swathed in….
What would Simon say to someone who cannot (for whatever circumstances they are right now in) afford even to be of service to another??
Empathy in the workplace is so needed these days, if more leaders had that more employees would want to go to work, feel happier to become a team and feel like they have a purpose for working at an organization.
The necessity for quality friendships is so needed these days. You are so inspiring Simon thank you for giving us your passionate insights.
Me with no friends: "ah damn"
I worked 50-60hrs night shifts for most of covid which really didn't change to before pandemic or now in fact
Awesome I learn a lot so deeply in his words God bless you for your wisdom!
Wow, such truth… why so many people/couples split up. I am still healing over this
"We can be the leader that we wish we had."
Such a simple yet deeper explanation of basics of life and nuances of human dynamics
<3
I wish I knew this a year ago.
I'm a journalist from India. Keen to interview Simon. Can u email his mobile no. Or email id. Thanks
Imagine pretending you're a rational human being and praising Alcoholics Anonymous whose only purpose to exist is to drive people to religion and stop thinking. It's an evil organization.
I experience my trauma years later. It hits me like a ton of bricks. No Crying Alone! Excellent. Force Yourself to call friends and ask for help. When crisis hits you find out who your REAL friends are. And sometimes it SURPRISES you who shows up for you! How ARE You? Are You Ok? When they ask you THIS, they actually CARE about the answer?? Why are we friends? WOW. OR… somethings wrong. Something’s different… Your NOT the person I know… Say that to create an Environment in which they are willing to OPEN up to me…
My gf dumped me earlier this year, and I don't feel like talking to anyone – when I'm productive, I'm extremely productive. When I'm unproductive, I'm very unproductive. Our elected leaders and their mainstream media mouthpieces antagonize and polarize, sowing seeds of distrust and hated towards war with the rising world powers and their old and new allies; that's how they cope.
If you don't know your 'why' then read the Bible, the greatest instruction manual ever written.
