Unleashing Your Potential

I am a big fan of American self-help guru, Anthony Robbins. I have liked his Facebook page. As a result, almost every day I receive updates. He has a very unique way of exciting you straightaway. I downloaded the free gift edition of Tony Robbins called “Re-Awaken the Giant Within” from a link provided on the FB page. I kept reading the book and literally could not stop.

Wake up and take control of your life! From the bestselling author of Inner Strength, Unlimited Power, and MONEY Master the Game, Anthony Robbins, the leader in the science of peak performance, shows you his most effective strategies and techniques for mastering your emotions, your body, your relationships, your finances, and your life. The acknowledged expert in the psychology of change, Anthony Robbins provides a step-by-step program teaching the fundamental lessons of self-mastery that will enable you to discover your true purpose, take control of your life, and harness the forces that shape your destiny. In fact, I suggest this book for you if you are looking for a greater height in your life or if you are hungry for doing more and becoming more.

This particular write up is not a review. Reading the book I came to realize that the central message is this: you have the power right now to control how you think, how you feel, and what you do. Everything you could ever want, tangible or not, is all within you. Tony Robbins has a wealth of experience which he essentially puts in its rawest form into this book. I found it a fantastic read and IF IMPLEMENTED, then a sincere aid to your life and whatever you want out of it. HIs techniques I have provided below.

•  The small decisions you make daily determine your destiny.
- All behaviors can be changed by changing beliefs, values, rules, and identity.
- Ask the right questions! Don’t ask “how are you?” Ask “how good are you??” Ask yourself every night, what will I have to do tomorrow for a stellar day? And follow through. Don’t ask - what do I really hate about my spouse? THE MIND WILL FIND WHATEVER YOU TELL IT TO SEEK OUT. Instead ask -- what do I really love about my spouse?
- Similarly, the vocabulary you choose will create your own beliefs. Choose wisely.

• - We have life values that we never set for ourselves. What if you lived by values that you set yourself? For example, I swear to live by these three values daily: Happiness, Focus/Determination, and Gratitude. Imagine a life where every day you lived by these and didn’t go to sleep until you had them?

• - We decide what things mean to us, the value we attach to them.
- We can hold ourselves to a higher standard.
- Your belief system guides you. If you say you “don’t have time,” this is merely your belief system and needs to be tweaked.
- To create long-term change, there must be a change in identity. Someone envisions themselves and therefore their identity as a smoker or a former smoker will therefore always crave a cigarette. If he/she changes their identity to feel like a nonsmoker, they indeed create lasting change.

•  New references (or experiences) provide the fabric for new beliefs and new identities. A small success that you hang on to and connect with gives you the conviction to know that you CAN succeed. “If I can do this, what else can I do??”
- Gaining pleasure and avoiding pain are the forces that affect every one of our actions. Magnify the appropriate neuro association and you will have full control of your actions.
- Interrupt limiting patterns.

Now I would also like to share with you about Tony Robbins’s Incredibly Simple Secret to Wealth. Life coach and entrepreneur give his advice for achieving long-term financial success. In his book MONEY Master the Game: 7 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom (Simon & Schuster, 2014), entrepreneur and author Tony Robbins talks about how to win the game of wealth. In the following excerpt, his simple secret to becoming rich is as follows;

“Money is a good servant but a bad master.” --Sir Francis Bacon
Few other words have the power of money to provoke such extreme human emotions.
A lot of us refuse to even talk about money. Like religion, or politics, the topic is taboo at the dinner table and often off-limits in the workplace. We might discuss wealth in polite company, but money is explicit. It’s raw. It’s garish. It’s intensely personal and highly charged. It can make people feel guilty when they have it--or ashamed when they don’t.

But what does it really mean?
For some of us, money is vital and crucial but not paramount. It’s simply a tool; a source of power used in service of others and a life well lived. Others are consumed with such a hunger for money that it destroys them and everyone around them. Some are even willing to give up things that are far more valuable to get it: their health, their time, their family, their self-worth, and, in some cases, even their integrity.

At its core, money is about power.
We’ve all seen how money can have the power to create or the power to destroy. It can fund a dream or start a war. You can provide money as a gift or wield it as a weapon. It can be used as an expression of your spirit, your creativity, your ideas--or your frustration, your anger, your hate. It can be used to influence governments and individuals. Some marry for it--and then find out its real price.
But we all know that on some level it’s an illusion. Money isn’t even gold or paper today, it’s zeros and ones in banking computers. What is it? It’s like a shape-shifter or a canvas, assuming whatever meaning or emotion we project on it.
In the end, money isn’t what we’re after … is it? What we’re really after are the feelings, the emotions, we think money can create:

that feeling of empowerment,
of freedom,
of security,
of helping those we love and those in need,
of having a choice, and
of feeling alive.

Money is certainly one of the ways we can turn the dreams we have into the reality we live.
But even if money is just a perception--an abstract concept--it doesn’t feel that way if you don’t have enough of it! And one thing is for sure: You either use it, or it uses you. You either master money, or, on some level, money masters you.

How you deal with money reflects how you deal with power. Is it an affliction or a blessing? A game or a burden?
The best way to change your life is to find people who’ve already achieved what you want and then model their behavior. Want to master your finances? Find a financial master and imitate how he or she deals with money, and you will have found a pathway to power.

Tony Robbins expressed that he can tell you right now, he has interviewed many of the wealthiest people in the world, and most of them do think of money as a game. Why else would anyone work 10 or 12 hours a day after they’ve made billions of dollars? And remember, not all games are frivolous. Games are a reflection of life. Some people sit on the sidelines, and some play to win. Tony asks us how we play. He wants to remind us, this is a game that we and our family can’t afford to lose.
How would you feel if you didn’t have to worry about going to an office every morning, or paying the bills, or funding your retirement? What would it be like to live your life on your own terms? What would it mean to know you had the opportunity to start your own business, or that you could afford to buy a home for your parents and send your kids to college, or have the freedom to travel the world?

How would you live your life if you could wake up each day knowing there was enough money coming in to cover not only your basic needs but also your goals and dreams?
The truth is, a lot of us would keep working, and because that’s the way we’re wired. But we’d do it from a place of joy and abundance. Our work would continue, but the rat race would end. We’d work because we want to, not because we have to.

That’s financial freedom.
But is it a pipe dream? Is it really possible for the average person--more importantly, for you--to make this dream a reality?
Whether you want to live like the 1 percent or just have the peace of mind of knowing that you won’t outlive your savings, the truth is you can always find a way to make the money you need. How? The secret to wealth is simple: Find a way to do more for others than anyone else does. Become more valuable. Do more. Give more. Be more. Serve more. And you will have the opportunity to earn more--whether you own the best food truck in Austin, Texas, or you’re the top salesperson at your company or even the founder of Instagram. Such incredible ideas of Tony Robbins…what do you think?

As always, Tony Robbin’s inspiring quotes provide you with wealth of wisdom. I am happy to share my most favorite ones:
 1. “Identify your problems, but give your power and energy to solutions.”
2. “Your past does not equal your future.”
3. “The path to success is to take massive, determined action.”
4. “Live life fully while you’re here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You’re going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process.”
5. “It’s not knowing what to do; it’s doing what you know.”
6. “Most people fail in life because they major in minor things.”
7. “It’s what you practice in private that you will be rewarded for in public.”
8. “If you can’t, you must. If you must, you can.”
9. “We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.”
10. “I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people, who live what they teach, who walk their talk.”
11. “Leaders spend 5 percent of their time on the problem & 95 percent of their time on the solution. Get over it & crush it!”
12. “Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”
13. “The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships.”
14. “If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you’ll achieve the same results.”
15. “Every problem is a gift--without problems we would not grow.”
16. “Where focus goes, energy flows.”
17. “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.”
18. “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.”
19. “Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”
Well, please do not forget to share if you also feel like being on fire like me after reading Tony Robbin’s inspiring thoughts.
