So, Simon, we're going to still stick with family and early on the show that you
mentioned, that was the point where you and your wife decided to have a kid
and you have a kid, you have a beautiful daughter.
Has she taught you anything because she given you any lessons or
just just being around her and observing, you know, anything that you can share
apart from the fact that I will no longer have a schedule of my own?
The one thing that she has
taught me is the value of patience, the value of patience,
because I think we're living in a world now
in which we've never been so connected,
in which we never had
the sheer amount of distractions that we have today.
And she teaches me the importance of disconnecting, switching off
and just being patient because babies don't learn things overnight.
It's a process, and that's the biggest thing she's told me.
Be patient with the process and enjoy the moment,
because that is what life is full of.
Life is made of moments.
And if we can enjoy and be present in as many moments as possible,
we create a life that we will look back on with great fondness.
Oh. That is that is that in
that it's lovely, Simon, and
and you talk about moments and learning that from your daughter.
So all we want to say thank you for spending this time
with us just this moment.
We're really happy to have you.
We've learned so much. I'm truly inspired.
But unfortunately, we have to close the show
and close the lid on what we call a video time capsule for you.
Perhaps in the future, your daughter can watch this back.
And so you get to leave a message.
What do you want to say to your future grandkids?
Sure, I think you'll be free quick
tips to my future grandkids.
The first would be
Listen to your heart.
It is full of wisdom.
If we give it the space to be heard,
and that is why it is important to go inward,
listen to your heart because it may not always lead you to where you want to be,
but it will always lead you to where you need to be.
The second is revel in the magic of your uniqueness.
You may not understand it now
that you're being different is important to this world.
It is what in time will make you stand down and attract to you
the people that resonate with your talents, your skills and your gifts.
So revel in the magic of your uniqueness.
We were born to be different.
And one of our greatest journeys
is to discover what that difference is.
And the third.
Is you are a miracle,
the fact that you were born
is an absolute miracle.
You have already won the greatest lottery ticket.
There is going the lottery of life.
The question is, what are you going to do with it?
And that is something
I hope you will make use of. Wow.
Well, it's such
I mean, you know, your first advice,
listen to your heart, I it's it's
I find myself doubting all the time,
whether you got all the heart or what, you know, your physical sensation.
I find myself always double guessing,
second minute questioning, and I don't trust it.
I actually don't trust my heart. I just don't.
So, but an interesting sort of follow up when you have what has happened.
It's actually you're right, I'm looking
I'm I'm thinking of three key things I once quit completely on the spot.
I once decided to split with someone
and we were talking about getting married and everything.
And you know?
And I once decided to pick up the phone when my two friends,
Jan and Percy and I told them I was so busy and I didn't have time.
And that sounds great.
The doing a show sounds wonderful, but I just didn't have time,
guys and happened, who has three guest who had three hosts on the show
who would speak?
What kind of livestream show would be silly enough to have three hosts?
It made no sense.
And you're right, every single one of them, I know you completely.
I have no regrets at all. Great decision.
I mean, I don't know how it would have played out here.
I am second guessing.
I don't know how it would have played out. I don't know.
And that's the thing.
If we if we look at different cultures around the world and you know, the Chinese
call it Xi, the Maui coach, they call it manna in yoga.
They call it karma, whatever you call it.
We're referring to the same thing, which is this universal life
force of energy and wherever energy got intuition or wisdom, we all have it.
And it's a compass that helps to guide us.
And you know, it's why people recommend meditation,
because when we meditate, we actually it's like pulling up a chair and sitting
opposite your true self and simply having a conversation with your true self
and that person becomes
your trusted spiritual guidance.
Wow. Well, you know what, Simon, I love, I love what you said,
that your heart might not always lead you to what you want, but it will lead you
to what you need to be doing or where you need to be.
And I think that has really been proven true, at least for my life.
And there's a lot of things.
Seriously, I will rewatch the show because there's a lot of things that said
that somewhere somehow I read or somewhere, somewhere
or someone told me, but you know, you can keep remembering
these things are going to be kept told to be grateful.
You know that even that simple thing of being grateful, like truly grateful
that the token grateful like, thank you.
You know, just saying as an aside, but you forget it.
It's easy to forget, especially in this very busy, very jaded world that we're in.
So it's important to hear these things said.
And I really appreciate you taking the time to be our guest today
and saying all of these things.
