    "So many of us are exhausted not because we are doing too much, but too little of the things that brings us joy". Wisdom right here.

    Number 1, overthinking, is my number 1 procrastinator !

      @@simonalexandero I've been wandering all over CZcams, Udemy, Skillshare,... so many platforms for years now. Followed numerous of courses in photography, webbdesign, digital marketing,... so I know I have the knowledge to pursue an entrepreuneurship in creating content, I just keep getting stuck in that same routine of "let's follow 1 more course" because I always feel like it's never enough. I think many people can relate to this. By the way, The Shawshank Redemption is my all time favorite movie!

    Lesson 4 and the bonus lesson are my absolute favourites - taking responsibility for everything in my life and being a learning machine have created who I am now from who I used to be. Thank you Simon. Really appreciate this and the 11 things to live an easy, slow life.

    I liked the thought," If you choose to do harder things in the beginning,later in life it becomes easier"
    Do not get jealous of someone's success.
    But I have a question? How do you deal with people who get jealous and bring destruction unknowingly

    • @simonalexandero
      @simonalexandero  Před 6 měsíci +7

      From my experience, there will always be people who are jealous of you when you put yourself out there and achieve some level of success. The key is to understand that it is often more about them than you. You can try and raise their awareness about it through kindness, positivity and empathy but if they are not open to listening or understanding, then you must create a boundary to prevent that negative energy affecting you.

  • @jmlouie
    @jmlouie Před 6 měsíci +7

    Thank you for sharing the lessons. I also wish I understood earlier the benefit of short term pain for long term gain. I really like the comment about how avoiding short term pain is a great strategy for peace, but the trade off is long term happiness, which I'm assuming would also bring more internal peace as well.

    Thank you Simon. All are great lessons. My word for this year is Courage, so your comment "Breakthrough is on the other side of courage" really resonated with me. I'm taking action on some really hard stuff. It's uncomfortable. But i believe the breakthrough is coming 😊
    Another lesson for me is to truely know who I am and not rely on external validation for my identity. And to know my values and live authentically! I'm a recovering people pleaser 😉 Jue x

    Most relevant for me is hard versus easy choices. I'm in middle age trying to undo the consequences of taking the easy route when I was younger. I subscribed also to the go with the flow philosophy and got nowhere really only back to where I started.

    Thank you for your magnificent videos! 🎉 Your lesson, per Alvin Toffler, on "learning, unlearning, and relearning" 11:27 reminded me of a comment that purported to correct what is commonly cited as Darwin's theory of evolution being "the survival of the fittest." The commenter said the more accurate articulation of his theory is something to the effect of: Those who are the quickest to adapt ["learn, unlearn, and relearn"] are the most likely to survive. Great work, Simon!

    I would so much like to believe this just as I believed so when I was younger and more naive, but unfortunately we live in a society where we do what we are given and not what we want. And if we don't accept it or we give it up or it is not given to us then we are unemployed and the whole society hates us and we are left alone outside and isolated, like we're worthless trash. And when you're an outsider, it's harder to come back and you're just pushed further away as a scapegoat so that others feel better and less anxious. And I know and am aware that this is not a healthy society when it works this way, it is very broken, but it is difficult to influence and change it alone if others do not want to change the prevailing status quo but keep it instead. And with even greater reason I hope more harder that it's true, what you said in this video because it is much better than what we have now.

    • @simonalexandero
      @simonalexandero  Před 2 měsíci

      I feel you! Good to consume information; more important to have a bias towards applying it. Perhaps something simple to begin with is to reflect on what one, small action you can take today that is in your control 🙌
