In 2017, the night before my surgery for a broken ankle, my husband of 27 years and my best friend in the world, had me listen to Simon Sinek. He had been reading "Leaders Eat Last." We had so many conversations about meaningful work! He had been a pilot in the Marine Corps, was an amazing husband and father, and was inspired by Simon's words. In November 2018 he tragically and suddenly died of an aortic dissection at the age of 51. During the past four years I have been working to be strong and resilient for my children. And now, I feel he is speaking to me through Simon's words, inspiring me to be more vulnerable, to really listen, to just sit in the mud, and hold space... sharing struggles... deepening relationships... thank you both.

#1. If you feel lonely and isolated it is because you do not immerse yourself (like basking in sunlight) in his love morning, noon and night every day of your life. #2. They look for love outside of themselves in all the wrong places instead of turning to the True Authentic Light of the World, Jesus The Christ. #3. God, The Holy Trinity does not isolate you. If you draw close to him, He will be your God and protector. #4. Your life path will always be harder when you don't choose Jesus. It's as simple as that. Not my words but his in the Holy Bible. It's like having a choice between two crosses. One 25 pounds and the other 5O. The larger one looks easier and lighter so most people choose it only to find out how tedious it is and regret it terribly. #5. You will never know Heavenly Peace in your life when things are up or down unless you trust in The Holy Trinity. #6. I can say this because he has been strengthening me while I'm going through a mega storm right now. I have heavenly peace in his love although all hell is breaking loose around me and threatening to drown me. I'm standing on the rock Jesus the Christ. He loves and cherishes me and I'm safe in his arms. Blessed with joy and happiness. Powerful Anointed Prayers Just For You ukposts.info/have/v-deo/a5-jjqiQh3l70YU.html

I am 69 years old and when I was in early 20’s, I experienced loneliness. I read many self help books to understand what I was feeling but still felt lonely. At night the loneliness was unbearable. I put pictures of universe on the ceiling of my bedroom and kept telling telling my self that compare to universe I am smaller than a speck of sand. Then one day I started to talk to my loneliness as if it is a human and ask to be my friend. I accepted and embraced it. As time went on I stopped being lonely. To this day I don’t feel lonely. I guess the loneliness became a part of me.

This interview made me so emotional because I am a woman in my 50s with no kids and no partner therefore I get lonely all the time. I won't say that I have a terrible life but sometimes I don't like being lonely. In these times I am so grateful to my siblings who all keep in touch with me. There are so many key takeaways in this conversation. Thanks to Simon and Steven..

I think we all just want to be 'fixed' We just want to be happy We can't figure out how to do it for ourselves, so we project onto others, by trying to fix them. Empathy for the fixers would be nice too. No one 's trying to hurt anyone. Just state your boundaries, say, you don't need help, thank you. That's what I do.

I love this so much. I know what it is like to feel lonely at times. I would sit in the mud with you Simon. One of my favorite quotes is from A.A. Milne. Very profound. "Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh. There was a pause. "Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet. "No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do." "That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend. "What are you doing?" asked Pooh. "Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either. "But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh." And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs…he thought that his best friend had never been more right." A.A. Milne

I've sat in the mud with so many. But who has ever sat in my mud just for a change? Sorry, but this is all BS. There's a lot of self important, totally selfish aholes out there and it's nearly all of you. Signed single white ageing woman, never married no kids because all males are getting boring asian females who cannot even speak english let alone engage in interesting deep and meaningful conversation, because let's face it they actually all just want a servant, and whose name is now a source of prejudice and discrimination. Money talks. The only way I will ever get a man and get married is the size of my investments. If i declared that I am worth $10000000, I guarantee not only will i get flooded with dates, they will all arrive early, dressed in a suit with a bunch of very expensive flowers and Dom Perignon, along with a dozen marriage proposals in the first week.

0:28: 😔 Simon Sinek discusses his shift away from public speaking and his focus on mental fitness. 13:44: 💔 Loneliness is feeling misunderstood, not being seen or heard, and struggling to communicate or present oneself. 20:50: 💔 Loneliness and the need for companionship and empathy in times of struggle. 39:46: 💡 Building trust is essential in managing chaos and making decisions in high-pressure situations. 41:23: 🗣 Feedback and self-awareness are crucial in building healthy relationships and improving communication skills. 53:13: 😔 The design of the modern world has added a layer of complication to finding and keeping love, and dating apps have made it feel like shopping for partners. 1:01:34: 💑 Being vulnerable and sharing struggles with your partner can deepen the relationship. 1:11:12: 💑 The key to a great relationship is having intellectual, emotional, and sexual compatibility, along with favorable circumstances. 1:21:43: 💔 Heartbreak teaches us about the nature of being human and the importance of co-creation in relationships. 1:29:20: 🌟 Simon measures success by momentum, not by achievement, and feels a sense of meaning and purpose in contributing to a better world. 1:38:35: 💪 The speaker reflects on their experience in a war zone and realizes that the true purpose in life is to serve those who serve others. 1:48:38: 💪 Simon reflects on the importance of serving those who serve others and the personal cost that comes with it.

Even friends who felt awkward by that now are so open and return the words from such a sweet place. When I feel alone....I am single and near 60....I ask myself, "Who can i help today?" The feeling of alone begins to fade, and the gratitude of being able to help replaces it.

"We live in a world where most people are not equipped on how to be there for a friend" that hit like a ton of bricks! Sadly, I am finding this out the hard way. My closest friends didn't know my mom was in the last stages of her illness. I didn't feel like reaching out. No one was really asking anyway. When I announced that my mom passed, I was so disappointed in the lack of support from my so-called best friends. A mear text, a message. I am still in shock on how unaware people are. Each person seems to be living in their own bubble. I can't wrap my head around this. Sad to say the least and feeling lonely as ever.

This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it ukposts.infoUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.

feeling lonely is top of the list for me too. I find that when you move into the loneliness and sit with it it’s not so intense and lifts slightly. We shouldn’t worry about our vulnerability. Covid has left many off us with less friends and family and the world has been turned absolutely upside down. We are raising our vibration and we are all learning that being HUMAN is key to success and vulnerability is nothing to be scared of but to know that we all feel the same things and we can celebrate that now like never before. Celebrate quietly and know you know it all already and then you have the energy to hold space for others. Im single, a middle aged woman Simon if your ever in London and fancy a date!!’ 😂❤😅😮

I watched a different ceo podcast yesterday that said naming it could help. Like as a child I didn’t have the words to share the trauma but now I do I can say that to someone who cares and they have hopefully developed listening understanding and caring skills so that I can now put the whole thing behind me. Depression talk always makes me think about melancholy character types. When a person knows they are melancholy hopefully they can learn how to use their strengths to overcome their weaknesses. Like managerial skills to overcome ocd. Or however that works. But looking at a chart and learning your particular ins and outs seems like it has good points. I’ve heard at the same time though that particularly melancholy people are irritated by some of the information… Blessings because the journey is the destination.

That seems to be an old person game anyways lol. My life was ruined by caring too much what other think and limiting myself. What i went through sucked and i can't even talk about it. I mean to a therapist i could and will. I just don't want to die single. I have very few friends. Once somebody moves i lose touch with them. A good friend died recently. I've known my best friend since 4th grade, so that helps. But we don't have that many deep talks. I do have ADD, not sure about the H part. It never got diagnosed. School was a total shit show. My parents never monitored me as they were dealing with a dying marriage. After school and the Army i just bounced around......then bamm here i am. Meanwhile my bro got a sweet job right after college, then another and now has been at SAS (like Google) for 20 years as a project manager. Easy job, great pay and benefits. He chose a much better career path. I tried to be a graphic designer but it was too demanding for my brain. You create something really cool, then gotta do it again and again and again. Good luck getting past 50K for years. When i was younger the idea of marriage or a relationship made me feel smothered. I didn't have the income to support it and my mind was always daydreaming or moving onto the next thing. It really sucks. I will finally seek help soon.

I know there’s a lot of benefits to having the type of brain that i have but after so much pain and love lost, i just wish i was somebody else. i feel lost and displaced. i know i’m a genuine good person and all i want is to walk this earth every single day with a heart/mind/body full of love. i’m just constantly stuck.

"There's no greater honour than being able to serve a friend in need." I had a close friend who needed me to just sit in the mud with her yesterday, and I went into full fixer mode.I see that I should've dialed it down a bit. I know better now. Thank you for the great conversation, as always. 🙏❤

Not later than today I wrote in my blog how excruciatingly existentially lonely I have been feeling lately. I feel I don't know who I am anymore, what I want, what my... why is. Everything feels pointless and meaningless. Many offer me solutions while I still don't know why I should accept a solution in the first place. I was trained in listening to others and it is painful when others are not able to stay with my pain. And then... there is the synchronicity of Simon Sinek appearing on my UKposts feed... thank you for this episode. I truly love this guy who has saved me already once and it seems he is doing it again.

Dear Simon, This might sound hyperbolic and somewhat dramatic, but it isn’t. This was the most authentic conversation I’ve ever heard. What you said about ‘sitting in the mud’, about listening and NOT trying to ‘fix’ things, about practising meditation to empower ourselves to listen respectfully has brought about a paradigm shift in my understanding of close relationships. I couldn’t hold back my tears. It was truly cathartic. I know now what I’ve been doing wrong. Clearly, empathy works like nothing else does. Truly truly grateful for all those insights…for being brave enough to be vulnerable. My prayers for you to find happiness in your personal space. Much love and regards come your way… P.S. Thanks Steve for enabling that engaging conversation. You bring out the real person you talk to, each time.

We need to open up and communicate our loneliness because it’s a very painful feeling. But we don’t in fear of being judged by others, and that by itself makes us feel lonely.

I must start by saying that, this is a deep s**t conversation. It shows that we are human beings, no one is perfect and neither is life. Regardless of our status in life, we all share the same emotions, thoughts, feelings and mud. Why not, at the end of the day, we are human beings and we are all vulnerable. Another great conversation, Steven. 💙

And I just want to add this to Simon: you ARE making an impact. You are making a difference. You would be surprised with how many people still have no idea what any of the things you’re talking about. I know the western world and those that are from bigger companies or powerful people are seeking tools etc. but there are people that still have NO idea about a fraction of these things discussed. Edit: If you haven’t thought about it already while I’m sure you already have, why not start a revolution on the “HELP OTHERS”. Teaching others this needed skill.

Wow, such a great conversation. It's so great to know that there are men out there who actually want to talk about the things that you both do. I've been single for many years. Not through lack of trying to find someone. I'm too picky i suppose, and have pretty much given up on finding a man who is capable of the kind of communication skills that you both have. This gives me hope. Sending love from Nova Scotia, Canada.

I love this. Thank you. This guy speaks to my soul. Single, never married, no kids. Minimal friends due to job and travel choices. My biological clock never really ticked outside of early societal pressures but now I'm over it. All I want are some quality friends who get me and someone to share my fun life with. I'm tired of just talking about my life with other people. I just want someone next to me when it happens. I actually try pretty hard to make friends. I'm on all the sites (meetup, fb group, etc). I go to things but getting people to hang out and not flake is like pulling teeth. Especially outside of an alcohol context. I'm not an alcoholic, it's just damn I don't want to be drunk every time I see you. Couples are fun to hang out with but couples dont want to hang out with a single woman and some couples don't know how to uncouple for just a ladies night out. Edit: I wrote this comment before he said that he has a wonderful life and doesnt just want to talk about it hahaha. I wanna cry. Someone actually gets it ~_~.

I listened to this during work and there were a few times when I felt like crying. Steven was born to do this. The more guests he interviews, the more aware he becomes of himself and his thoughts and better questions to ask. What is really meaningful in life. Not to have all the money in the world, but to have enough to help yourself and others while serving those in need. I started listening to Steven in 2020. I had moved to the UK just a few months before that and I was soaking up all his knowledge through the podcast. I love the book, bought the journal too and literally can't wait to go on a live show. This has to be my favourite episode. At the end I felt like nothing can surpass this. It's like when you finish reading a good book and you don't know what to do next because it left you speechless. Well, this conversation has left me with so many emotions and thoughts. Steven and the crew are amazing for doing these episodes and I really wish this never ends, because the lessons learned here are priceless. Thank you Steven and DOAC team❤

I am in my darkest days ever. In a span of three months I lost my husband , my father and my best friend. These people were the most important people in my life. The love was different for each of them but the pain is the same. After the funerals everyone goes to their families and homes and I felt soooooo alone. Nobody has time for other people's problems believe me. They stop calling cause they are too busy making Money. Without a social support your doomed.

This feels like someone read my mind. I've watched both of Simon's previous podcasts here and came away thinking, man he struggles to be vulnerable. This must have been huge for him and I hope it served him personally and he didn't just do it to stay popular because his ability to set boundaries is equally powerful. I admire him a ton - vulnerable or not.
