YOu can’t even say you’re from Isreal because to them Israel doesn’t exist, and you’re like, but this is where I’m from and you’re not gonna delete where I’m from, and so it’s been a constant battle between Israel versus Palestine as opposed to Israel and Palestine, so really I want to dedicate the rest of my life, like you, to the “and” as opposed to the “or”.” [10:32] -Nuseir Yassin“Our brain will help us notice things that we need to notice, so if you are constantly telling yourself, I live an amazing life, I have the most inspiring conversations, you are more likely to notice the inspirations and the conversations that you have. You are more likely to notice people that might inspire you!” [34:05] -Vishen Lakhiani To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below: Website: Mindvalley.comYouTube: @vishenlakhianiInstagram: @mindvalleyInstagram: @vishenFacebook: @mindvalley Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW   Learn more about your ad choices.
