Tony robbins quotes

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

If you don't make a decision about how you are going to live, then you have already made a decision, haven't you?

Don't labor forever over the question of how or if you can do it. Studies have shown that the most successful people make decisions rapidly because they are clear on their values and what they really want for their lives.

If you want to take the island, then burn your boats. With absolute commitment come the insights that create real victory.

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

No one ever achieved a goal by being interested in its achievement. One must be committed.

Yesterday does not equal tomorrow. Forget the past and move towards your goals.

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.

It is your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.

It's not about the goal. It's about becoming the type of person that can accomplish the goal.

It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.

When it looks impossible and you are ready to quit, victory is near!

Love is not a business. It's not a transaction. It's not an exchange or something you get for doing something it's not a trade. It's a gift!

When it seems impossible like nothing is going to work, you are usually just a few millimeters away from making it happen.

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.

If I’m committed, there is always a way.

It's pretty simple - The Action you take will determine the results you Achieve.

If you want to change your life you have to raise your standards.

The best way to get a better answer is to start asking a better question.

Ten years from now you'll laugh at whatever's stressing you out today. So why not laugh now?

It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.

The path to success is to take massive, determined action.

The more rules you have about how people have to be, how life has to be for you to be happy, the less happy you’re going to be.

Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions

Whatever you consistently think about and focus upon you move toward.

My philosophy is to "kill the monster while it's little." The best time to handle a "negative" emotion is when you first begin to feel it. It's much more difficult to interrupt an emotional pattern once it's full-blown.

Winners take imperfect action while losers are still perfecting the plan.

Be the person you wish to become - today. Talk like them, walk like them, breathe like them! Be them NOW!

What changes your life is not learning more. What changes your life is making decisions & using your personal power & taking action.

No matter how difficult the situation is, it won't last forever. What follows the night is the day. What follows the winter is the spring.

Where focus goes, energy flows.

The past is a place you can learn from, not a place you want to live.

Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.

Excitement must lead to immediate action or you will lose the power of momentum. More dreams die because we fail to seize the moment. Do it now!

Life is nothing but a mirror of your consistent thoughts.

Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.

The truth of the matter is that there's nothing you can't accomplish if: (1) You clearly decide what it is that you're absolutely committed to achieving, (2) You're willing to take massive action, (3) You notice what's working or not, and (4) You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along the way.

Impossible is not a fact... it's an opinion. What's impossible only remains so until someone finds a way to do what others are sure can't be done.

If you keep a clear vision for your future, it will pull you like a magnet through your toughest times.

When you know what's most important to you, making a decision is quite simple. Most people, though, are unclear about what's most important in their lives, and thus decision making becomes a form of internal torture.

Learn to convert the discomfort of discipline into the satisfaction of personal growth.

The ultimate success formula: I) Decide what you want (Be precise! Clarity is power) II) Take action (because desire is not enough) III) Notice what's working or not (You don't want to continue to expend energy on an approach that's worthless IV) Change your approach until you achieve what you want (Flexibility gives you the power to create a new approach and a new result.)

If we believe in magic, we'll live a magical life.

The secret to success is... is no secret. It's called work your Ass off and find a way to add more value to peoples lives than anyone else does!

Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.

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

It's not about your resources, it's about your resourcefulness .

Courage, like fear, is a habit. The more you do it, the more you do it, and this habit-of stepping up, of taking action-more than anything else, will move you in a different direction.

The only people without problems are those in cemeteries.

Life isn't about getting more. It's about becoming more.

The only real security in life comes from knowing that every single day you are improving yourself in some way.

Time is the capital of your life, so spend it wisely.

People say it takes 10 years to change your life. It's bullshit. It takes a moment, a second. But it may take you 10 years to get to the point of finally saying, "Enough."

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

When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.

Individuals who succeed have a belief in the power of commitment. If there's a single belief that seems almost inseparable from success, it's that there's no great success without commitment. If you look at successful people in any field, you'll find they're not necessarily the best and the brightest, the fastest and the strongest. You'll find they're the ones with the most commitment.

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

One skill you want to master in this day and age we live in, if you want to have an extraordinary life, is the ability to learn rapidly

The one thing that separates winners from the losers, is , winners take action.

Without gratitude and appreciation for what you already have, you’ll never know true fulfillment.

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

The most successful people in the world are people who were rejected more than anybody else.

The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.

Don't limit your challenges; challenge your limits. Each day we must strive for constant and never ending improvement.

Repetition is the mother of skill.

The real joy in life comes from finding your true purpose and aligning it with what you do every single day.

The more you understand what somebody wants, needs, and fears, the more you can figure out how to add value.

I do believe I am special. My special gift is my vision, my commitment, and my willingness to do whatever it takes.

If you're feeling really sad, there is only one reason: it's because you're deleting all the reasons you could be feeling good. And if you're feeling good, it's because you're deleting all the bad things you could be focusing on.

If you talk about it, it's a dream, if you envision it, it's possible, but if you schedule it, it's real.

Trade your expectations for appreciation and the world changes instantly.

People always try to be perfect. That's why they don't start anything. Perfection is the lowest standard in the world. Because if you're trying to be perfect, you know you can't be. So what you really have is a standard you can never achieve. You want to be outstanding, not perfect.

Nothing can drag you down if you're not holding on to it.

If you want to succeed in your life, remember this phrase: That past does not equal the future. Because you failed yesterday; or all day today; or a moment ago; or for the last six months; the last sixteen years; or the last fifty years of life, doesn't mean anything... All that matters is: What are you going to do, right now?

Knowledge is NOT power. Knowledge is only POTENTIAL power. Action is power.

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

The only thing keeping you from what you want is your story about why you can't have it.

If you don't set a baseline standard for what you'll accept in life, you'll find it's easy to slip into behaviours and attitudes or a quality of life that's far below what you deserve.

The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.

Every problem is a gift - without problems we would not grow.

Begin to live as though your prayers are already answered.

Keep your goals in front of you, and your fears behind you.

Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.

No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying.

You are as strong as you think you are, you can achieve things you think you can achieve, its all in your head

The one common denominator of all successful people is their hunger to push through their fears.

As simplistic as this may sound, commitment is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.

Everybody's got a past. The past does not equal the future unless you live there.

It's your decisions, not your conditions, which shape your life.

You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.

I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.

The only reason we don’t have what we want in life is the reasons we create why we can’t have them.

There is a powerful driving force inside every human being that once unleashed can make any vision, dream, or desire a reality.

Whatever happens, take responsibility.

Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.

Most people aren't really happy, but they aren't unhappy enough to do anything about it. That's a dangerous place to be.

Change is never a matter of ability, it's always a matter of motivation.

Whatever you hold in your mind on a consistent basis is exactly what you will experience in your life.

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

Anything can be achieved with a strong enough why!

The best way to deal with procrastination is to postpone it.

Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.

There is always room in your life for thinking bigger, pushing limits and imagining the impossible.

There are many people who live in what I call 'No-man's Land,' a place where you're not really happy, but you're not unhappy enough to do anything about it. That's a dangerous place. It's a place where people numb themselves to their dreams. It's where they dismiss hope and accept what's in front of them instead of driving toward what they really want in life.

All growth starts at the end of your comfort zone.

Every time you reach for food, ask yourself, 'Will this cleanse or clog me?'

Its not about the goal. Its about growing to become the person that can accomplish that goal.

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

Why live an ordinary life, when you can live an extraordinary one.

In order to take our lives to the next level, we must realize that the same pattern of thinking that has gotten us to where we are now will not get us to where we want to go.

For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent.

At any moment the decision you make can change the course of your life forever.

In life, never spend more than 10 percent of your time on the problem, and spend at least 90 percent of your time on the solution.

Where focus goes, energy flows. And where energy flows, whatever you're focusing on grows. In other words, your life is controlled by what you focus on. That's why you need to focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear. When you next find yourself in a state of uncertainty, resist your fear. Shift your focus toward where you want to go and your actions will take you in that direction.

The quality of your life is the quality of where you live emotionally

Don't be afraid of new ideas. Be afraid of old ideas. They keep you where you are and stop you from growing and moving forward. Concentrate on where you want to go, not on what you fear.

Who you spend time with is who you become.

Life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve.

It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives.

The road to someday leads to a town of nowhere.

Your story is where you take it to, not where you start.

My teacher Jim Rohn taught me a simple principle: every day, stand guard at the door of your mind, and you alone decide what thoughts and beliefs you let into your life. For they will shape whether you feel rich or poor, cursed or blessed.

Life is about the moments: Don't wait for them, create them!

Successful people spend 10% of their time focused on the problems and 90% of the rest, focused on the solution.
