    Israel talks about the importance of having mentors and peers to help us along the way, and I think that's such an important point. We can't do everything on our own, and sometimes we need to rely on others to help us achieve our goals.

  • @google_was_my_ideaforreal

  • @DevonGLee

    Very compelling story. Great that you choose to harness it for good. Someone else could have that same story and use it as an excuse for why their life is a total mess. But you turned your mess into a message to inspire others to get out of their own way and life full, die empty! Proud of you my mentor @Israel Duran.

  • @sariyah7175

  • @rawirinikau
    @rawirinikau Před rokem +3

    The point he makes about that car accident taking him outside of his comfort is huge. A lot of the time, even in retrospect, we don't realize that we've been in a rut, that some huge disruptive event that might seem scary and awful is actually a wonderful blessing in disguise, so long as we get our mindset around it correct

  • @malyka4215

    What he talks about around the 4:00 mark is something I don't think people really understand, you need to share your vision and bounce your ideas off other people, especially when you're in a leadership role. Otherwise how do you know if you're on the same page as your team?

  • @thomaspowell3rd
    @thomaspowell3rd Před rokem +3

    I wonder what it is about our psyche that so often we don't understand the things Israel talks about here until we hit that rock bottom. Or maybe it's the experience of working our way back from that place, and the strength we gain during that process that allows us to find our purpose?

    I'm so confused by this talk, on the one hand he talks about how you don't have to die or lose your mother or father to have this realization that he had... after he had an NDE? You can't say, I arrived at this knowledge through these steps, but you don't have to take those steps you can just have that knowledge. How do you know the message is as poignant without that experience?

    • @asiscranda
      @asiscranda Před rokem +1

      Well obviously he's hoping that people don't think they need to have an NDE or hit rock bottom to find their purpose... But as you said and as history would inform us, we must walk our own path, our own journey, to truly understand our purpose in life. To quote Billy Joel "we didn't start the fire, it was always burning, since the world's been turning. We didn't start the fire, no, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it".... Take what we can from the experiences around us and keep trying to fight the fire but finding your own fire within.

    I'm sorry I'm really struggling to take this dude seriously. How do you know what motivates great leaders? I guarantee you it's not the fear of death for all of them. It's the desire to implement change. Or maybe we're not thinking about the same leaders.

    I'm sorry call me cynical but that story about him dying as a child is pretty sketchy like, why was no one watching him swim? Where was he that a complete stranger would have access to being able to save him, without anyone seeing him, and then not sticking around to be like hey who is responsible for this kid?

      I thought the same thing. I didn't know at the time but I believe that it was an angel that was sent by God to save my life. Thank you for your message.
