Anticipate and react is required. You may have planned everything perfecly but there is still a chance to deviate even fail that you need to react. The question is how you react on it.

I can't Express how much my life has changed in just one year from changing my opinion of myself. Thank you Tony for the inspiration to look in myself and change.

That means that his wisdom is definitely worth 100 times more than I think people really understand.

How has your life changed?

[@pedrossalazar5619]

This is amazing. These are the stories that I love to hear.

[@user-zm4fe7fs9p]

@@ssshuvo I don't know Gowtham G but I already know the answer..It made him more passionate, more motivated, gave him new perspective on how to see opportunity and his own success path. He found a way to imrpove himself with a type of mentor (Tony) who pushes his buttons in the right way. You can watch lots of vids and read lots of books and the ideas may just lay there because of the style or delivery. Tony's message resonates because Gowtham is able to RECEIVE it. It's like someone handing you a bunch of fantastic self help books written in latin and only understanding english...and finally having someone hand you a book written in english. That is life changing.

[@madluccimusic6722]

Awesome! Keep going!

[@StabbingKnifes]

@@user-zm4fe7fs9p Completely agree. Compliments on the well written reaction. What Tony says isn't rocket science, but the dynamic way in which he presents it makes it much easier to both digest and use in real life. I can honestly say that his book Awaken the Giant within completely changed my life, motivation, passion and outlook. I simply took control of myself, accepted my past and look forward to the future. Is that always easy? Certainly not. Is it worth it? Definitely.

"You can't have a standard education and expect an extra-ordinary life"Tony Robbins.

[@HAHA-kk2xy]

Love this!!

[@feliciaboka]

That's actually one of my biggest takeaways as well!

[@brynleytalbot778]

Carnegie took six months out of every year to ‘holiday’ around the world. As he travelled he saw ideas and processes he could use on his return to grow his businesses. He also knew when to quit. The oil cartel paid him a ridiculous sum. Business 24/7 only benefits the hustlers and bankers. Know that you’ll think long before you act quickly. Opportunities pop out when you know they’re there because you took the time out to learn how to see them. Look at all of the college dropouts who identified opportunities and remained with a standard education getting an extraordinary life. Robbins is hustling education, his product. He’s hardly going to say dropping out is the best strategy.

[@MrPushoo]

Have read and heard about Tony but this is the first time somehow stumbled into watching him. Sounds like a WWF fighter but man is he legendary...

[@isonlynameleft]

Haha yeah I wouldn't want to meet him in the ring he's like the Jolly Giant!

[@Pete_Partak]

Jim his mentor is my boss where I work. I feel it. Amazing. Leadership is all about being in harmony and peace with yourself at all times. And continuing to execute facing your fears whenever you can. Once you realize all these "limitations " and bad traits you have are all untapped in your unconcious state, you unlock and find the pot of gold at the rainbow. You influence people's hearts and mental states, you help show them subtlety how to focus and take charge of their sexuality and embrace it. Act like a dad, everyone great is a dad at heart. Manage people's mental states. You don't control people or exercise authority, you help them if they have a tough day and subtlety give them a pat on the back, grow on scale. The more self aware you are the more you are allowed access too. Be comfortable in your own skin, I walk around my house naked just because it made me 110% in my own skin. I sing in a public just for the purpose of conquering a mental blockage that it's "scary". Embrace being an original creative thinker in your respective passionate passion. Embrace your young hot blood, ask questions as much as possible in your own head and look for the answers by yourself, to get in a state of mind of questioning, which leads to finding your own creative original ideas. Have a rock, that rock could be a woman, hobby, or just an idea. That rock is always there no matter wherw you are. It will always keep you grounded. I always think of my woman, when I'm helping my team out I can anticipate where my teammates will go towards in their mental state. I love that woman and thats all you need. I don't have any urges anymore that I'm unable to notice..I know when I'm horny, mad, passionate, happy, sad, I'm in touch with my emotions and guide my mental state. It helps to grow up with a father who is their for you when you need them most, always get up. How you think when you lose determines how long until you win. Don't party, have a family you go home to everynight. You don't want millions, you want to serve and help your local community first. Learn from the past, listen to music from the 50's to understand their mental States. The president knew he was going to president, Tom brady knew he was going to be the Goat, John mayer knew he was going to be the best guitarist. Once you find exactly who you are, you don't even need college. College is a safety blanket if you can't figure out how to open up your conscious Elon discovered exactly who he was and was in harmony and peace in the universe with leaving high school. Once you can lie down and have zero thoughts and just listen to the ambient noise in your own head. You made it. No idea is crazy, no belief is too far out of reach. Embrace how your mind influences the world around you. Coaches intuitively feel the lineage of past coaches, it goes very far back. Playing football just senior year to attempt to get a girl back also tends to help hahah!! Do what would look cool and alpha in a biography every waking moment. Don't create a mask, be confidently authentic always.

[@avi77jc]

This is the first interview in the history of humanity where the interviewer actually ask interesting stuff.

[@saprisadragon]

Stressing is pointless. It gets nothing done. And this I believe is one one of the key things to a happy life. I’m years away from calculated millions generated from Real Estate, and light years away from reaching my full potential and every goal. But what allows me to jump out of bed even after losing it all, or having the worst day so far of my life, is knowing that there is nothing life could possibly throw at me that would stress me out to the point of taking me off my course. You gain a feeling of invincibility. Strength through sucking it up. And to anyone going through hell right now. Enjoy it. Learn from it. Study why you are eating shit, and than do something about it. You are greater than any problem. And I promise you that if you keep grinding and hold on to only one thing, persistence. You will accomplish anything that you want. CAUTION: None of this will work if you haven’t taken full accountability of yourself and every last thing in your life.

[@Dulaism]

Would you consider pressure as a form of stress?

[@saprisadragon]

raptor Please elaborate

[@FailBetter1]

What do you want to achieve in this life David Grego?

[@saprisadragon]

Elisha Morris I want to leave this place better than I found it. I want to know that I used every opportunity that I could, to help people realize that life as we were taught is bullshit. The moment I was free in life, was the moment I actually decided to follow my own heart and gut, instead of what everyone else around me expected. And it’s truly a different world. And I’d love to give people that.

[@piemasta93]

Great mindset. Keep working it, definitely going somewhere great

[@LetsTalkPhilosophy]

The potential for human development is absolutely astounding to me. The fact that you can change your life by changing your thinking means that you can basically achieve whatever your ambitions may be by just putting the work in and sacrificing what is necessary.

Tony Robbins for president!!!

[@rickrouse7865]

No he would make a terrible president. His policies would increase poverty in our country. He sided with Obama because he believed what Obama said about the jobs we lost and how they're never coming back. Trump brought back those jobs proving Obama and Mr. Tony wrong. Tony doesn't know how politics and economic theory but Trump does, Trump proved it already.
