    Hey Leo,
    I have been watching your videos for quite some time now (almost 11 months!) and I have to admit that these videos have changed my life.
    I started with just randomly browsing through your videos (after I stumbled upon one) and later I just started following your personal development blueprint
    I have become more confident, my health is great, my career is on the right track and I am not in therapy anymore (my doc has officially put me off medications)
    I wanted to say a BIG thank you! thanks for making my life (and many others) better

    It must be difficult at times being a life coach. I say this because a lot of people out there just want an easy fix and not something they should be working at. I know I have definitely had my difficulties with wanting a fix and also telling the truth. Sometimes its hard to tell people truth but they do need it at times. I can understand now how some counselors, life coaches, and psychologists can be neurotic. It must be frustrating to try and sit there and explain to people the truth and they don't take it.

      Not at all. Being a life coach is the easiest thing in the world for me. I don't baby people or try to bully them into doing anything. I don't push any personal agenda as a coach. As a coach, I mostly ask you questions. I don't force-feed you information like I try to do in my videos. It's a very different format. Very different audience.
      The people I coach are extremely driven already. They are rockstars. A mediocre person would never hire a coach in the first place because they are too short-sighted to see the benefits.
      If a life coach or psychologist is neurotic, that's because they don't practice what they preach, or they are in the wrong career.

    I met Victor Frankel when I was 13 years old and I bought his book. Very small town in Texas. I was surprised he was traveling around to these tiny places. But I had never heard of such a thing as the holocaust. It was so inspiring to me. I never forgot. 💜❤️💜❤️

    The worst things to face in life are not those that are pointed at us, but at those we love.
    There are some things we don't have the power to overcome, on their behalf.
    That's the worst adversity life can offer.... usually accompanied by a
    need to be strong for them. For all life's breif joys, this one aspect is the thing I shall be
    most glad to see the back of, when my time comes.

    C'mon man, affirmations? I wan to reassure anyone who reads this, almost certainly lost forever comment, that even without affirmations, you almost certainly have built in to you what it takes to overcome the most severe adversity. I was a depressed, anxious poly drug addict who'd been hitting it for, shamefully, more than one dacade, I quit my career to take an easy part time job to pay for drugs, my grandma died after 10 years of Alzheimer's, then within the next couple of years my cousin and friend hung himself, both my parents died horrific deaths from cancer, one after the other over 10 months, I had to care full time for my mum for 8 months, losing my job, too many times watched the terror in her eyes as she had horrific seizures as the ambulance took 2 hours to arrive. And here I am, kicking heroin, getting my life in order and knowing that whatever comes my way, even my own death, I will deal with it because I am born with the innate ability to cope with the extreme suffering that our ancestors have evolved to cope with over millions of years.

    Leo, I agree with you up to a point. When it comes to things like rape and torture , we may physically survive but mentally become a basket case. There are some horrible torturous scenarios a person can have happen to them. Some are not inflicted by another human being , like being burned all over in a house fire. Some things are just too much for certain people and understandably so.

    This video is really old but I’m just seeing it now. It’s an interesting perspective. It really is eye opening to imagine how primitive humans survived. Not only did they not have the tools, technology and conveniences we have but they had so little knowledge. I’ve never really thought about that before....what it must have been like basically being born into a vacuum....nothing to provide any context, not even any way to communicate before any sort of language was developed. That’s a wild thought! It certainly required a great deal of intuition and bravery and trust in eachother. It was probably very scary....but in a way, maybe it was a little better than existing with all the complexity in our world these days. Basic needs were prioritized and there was never a question as to what your focus should be. With no understanding of why you existed, where you came from or what your future may hold, you had no choice but to really live in the moment. Past and future were foreign concepts. All you had was the present moment. There is something liberating about that. Humans have come a long way and in some ways we’ve made life easier for ourselves but all that improvement and advancement came at a cost and we’ve lost sight of what really matters. We have almost too much knowledge now...which ultimately is distracting. It’s very interesting to think about.

    Your video was comforting thanks for that at least. Today was rough. I am suffering horrible vertigo and I got the bad news I gained weight again. It has caused me to go from ripped like a model to a massive gut. I work out for hours a day and still bigger and bigger. This is a nightmare as I was an anorexic. Meeting a specialist in 2 weeks. I eat very low numbers and gain weight weekly I now have hormonal problems and am almost infertile. I have been pretty much crying since I got up am still searching for answers. Running still comforts me at least.

    Coaching is good stuff we need more like like Leo and myself and others who really want this stuff, there is a growing need for these concepts, stuff they WON'T teach you in school, BUT SHOULD!! Coaching about making a connection with someone, once you've established a "bond" teaching and learning are shared, we ALL learn from each other. What Leo does is different than what I do but along the same path. Teaching is NOT as difficult as one might consider. You don't "spoon feed" anyone, if you have to do that you're wasting you're time, better off BOWLING or something, same thing again if you have to force them to learn you're wasting your time. You have to want to learn, if the desire is not there doesn't matter what he says or does you're just NOT gonna get it!! I work with my clients on a one on one basis, because I use a little more intensive system for people to pick some of this stuff up, I use SHOCK and AWE, it's the same thing like when you were a little kid, mom tells you DON'T touch that it's "HOT"

      I can relate to that. There's a duality to getting older ... if we're lucky, we gain sufficient wisdom to care less; but it's sometimes accompanied with less energy to deal with X, Y and Z.... Keeping fit helps, I think. Healthy body, healthy mind.

Will persistence of these habits and this affirmation help overcome these fears and self absorbed tendency?

      Have you considered that tying to turn off the inner judge could itself be an act of judgement? It could be "this inner judge is bad, let me turn him off." In that case it would be the inner judge tricking you into relying on him, because he convinces you that only he is capable of helping you decide what is good and what is bad.
