"The past does not equal the future...." - Quote by Tony Robbins

“Some people get certainty by working harder and saying I'm going to master something. Some people get certainty by lowering their expectations, going 'it will never work. And they lose their dreams, but they get their needs. The needs are not like goals. They're not like belief systems that are built into you.”

“The difference between those who fail to achieve their goals in life and those who succeed is the difference between those who cannot put themselves in a supportive state and those who can consistently put themselves in a state that supports them in their achievements.”

“If you want access to the files of valuable information in a computer, you must understand how to retrieve the data by asking for it with the proper commands. Likewise, what enables you to get anything you want from your own personal databanks is the commanding power of asking questions.”

“The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.”

“No people ever lived by cursing their fathers, however great a curse their fathers might have been to them.”

“Hurrying and delaying are alike ways of trying to resist the present.”

“For many years I had been deeply identified with thinking and the painful, heavy emotions that had accumulated inside. My thought activity was mostly negative, and my sense of identity was also mostly negative, although I tried hard to prove to myself and to the world that I was good enough by working very hard academically. But even after I had achieved academic success, I was happy for two weeks or three and then the depression and anxiety came back.”

“Hold on to the ancient Way to master the present, and to learn the distant beginning.”

“The good old horse-and-buggy days: then you lived until you died and not until you were run over.”
