Tony Robbins

“I was like, "If I don't change my mind, if I don't change my heart, if I don't develop some skill, I'm always going to be sleeping in my car."”

“If you do extreme exercise to lose weight, you'll usually soon stop because you get injured or because it's simply too rigorous to do for a lifetime.”

“Change is automatic, Progress is Not!”

“The road to someday leads to a town of nowhere.”

“As soon as you truly commit to making something happen, the 'how' will reveal itself.”

“I've continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright.”

“Goals are like magnets. They'll attract the things that make them come true.”

“Your life experience will never far exceed the expectations of your peers, because to stay connected to them there is an unconscious contract that says we're going to be within this range of each other. Now, on the other hand, if for some reason your friends have a higher expectation for life than you do, just to stay on the team you've got to raise your standard.”

“If you want a fulfilled life, stop thinking about wealthy people and what they have and you don't. Stop thinking from a place of scarcity.”

“A fantastic analogy for the power of focus is racing cars. When your car begins to skid, the natural reflex is to look at the wall in an attempt to avoid it. But if you keep focusing on what you fear, that's exactly where you'll end up. Professional racers know that we unconsciously steer in the direction of our focus, so with their lives on the line, they turn their focus away from the wall and towards the open track.”

“Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives.”

“See things the way they are not worse than they are”

“You have to make the shift from being a consumer in the economy to becoming an owner-and you do it by becoming an investor.”

“No one ever achieved a goal by being interested in its achievement. One must be committed. In fact, in studying the source of people's success, I've found that persistence overshadows even talent as the most valued and effective resource in creating and shaping the quality of life. Most people give up a maddening five feet from their goal!”

“If you can't you must, and if you must you can.”

“Smile. It creates positive physiological change.”

“There are no failures, only outcomes. As long as I learn something, I am succeeding.”

“Many people try to avoid pressure, yet the absence of any tension or pressure usually creates a sense of boredom and the lackluster experience of life that so many people complain about.”

“The minute you start keeping score, you're destroying the relationship.”

“You and I must realize that the English language is filled with words that, in addition to their literal meanings, convey distinct emotional intensity. For example, if you develop a habit of saying you 'hate' things - you 'hate' your hair; you 'hate' your job; you 'hate' having to do something - do you think this raises the intensity of your negative emotional states more than if you use a phrase like 'I prefer something else'?”

“How can you have any regret when everything worked out fine? But why I think it worked out fine is due to the lessons I learned along the way. And one of those involves listening to experts.”

“If you want to play the game and win, you've got to play 'full out.' You've got to be willing to feel stupid, and you've got to be willing to try things that might not work - and if they don't work, be willing to change your approach. Otherwise, how could you innovate, how could you grow, how could you discovery who you really are?”

“Power moves with you when you have an intent to serve more than yourself.”

“Feed and strengthen your body. Fear is physical. When you lift weights or go for a sprint, that energy flows back into your body and restores you to certainty.”

“Focus on execution rather than just the idea.”

“In order to be happy, human beings must feel they are continuing to grow. Clearly, we must adopt the concept of continuous improvement as a daily principle.”

“Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards.”

“You want to be a hero? Learn to create certainty in the face of fear.”

“Repetition is the mother of skill.”

“If I can't - then I must. If I must - then I will.”

“Quality questions create a quality life.”

“And always remember the ultimate truth: life is not about money, it's about emotion.”

“Don't surround yourself with people who just affirm you. Surround yourself with people who challenge you.”

“You've got to bring the emotion, and you have to understand that you can't touch other people if you're not touched. You can't move other people if you're not moved. So if you're just giving some frickin talk you've memorized over and over again, you're going to have a flat affect. If you've just got a bunch of visuals on the screen that are leading your talk, hang up your shoes and get the hell out of there.”

“KNOWLEDGE is only Power to the Extent that it is... U S E D”

“Where focus goes, energy flows.”

“Whatever you really want, wants don't get met consistently, standards do.”

“All goal setting must be immediately followed by both the development of a plan, and massive and consistent action toward its fulfillment.”

“I don't mean to sound corny, but it's one word: results. If you get results, you can get anyone.”

“What's talked about is a dream,What's envisioned is exciting,What's planned become possible,What's scheduled is real.”

“It's important to realize that words shape our beliefs and impact our actions.”

“If you don't make a conscious effort to control your focus-and decide in advance which things you're going to focus on-you'll be so pulled by the demands of the world that you will soon find yourself living in reaction rather than living a life plan you've designed for yourself.”

“The fact is: You are not a manager of circumstance, you're the architect of your life's experience.”

“There is no breakthrough without a breakdown.”

“Remember: we all get what we tolerate. So stop tolerating excuses within yourself, limiting beliefs of the past, or half-assed or fearful states.”

“The how will show up after the commitment to the what.”

“Sometimes, not getting what you want can be the most valuable experience of your entire life.”

“Being a leader is living life on your terms not getting followers”

“Understand that all emotions serve you. Those you once thought of as negative emotions are merely calls to action. For example, if you feel frustrated it means that you believe things could be better, and they're not. This is a call to action telling you there's something you must do to make this better now. This "negative" emotion is actually a gift if you use it effectively.”

“Age is not based on chronology, but psychology.”
