9 Words from Tony Robbins that changed my life
hi there is Stacy Martino founder of relationship development at Oregon creator of relationship you and actually Paul and I are in the studio today shooting some great videos for our upcoming video series but in the meantime I wanted to take this moment and talk to you today and share a moment with you from 20 years ago for me when I heard nine words from Tony Robbins that changed my whole life and brought me to where I am today I was actually this is going back 20 years ago I was sitting on the couch in my apartment in the middle of the night very unhappy with my life who I was my relationship by weight my money and everything else very cliche but I was eating a pint of ice cream sitting on my couch it was two o’clock in the morning flipping through the channels and I landed on QVC and saw this big man with these giant teeth talking about how great life could be and at the time sitting there eating my Ben & Jerry’s I was thinking yeah right and then he said nine words that stopped me in my tracks he said what if this is as good as it gets and I dropped my spoon and my mind got very still and I almost stopped breathing because the words in my head terrified me because in my head I heard then I don’t know if I really want to do this and that was what it took for me that was my wake-up call I was glued to that television set hanging on every word he said hoping that he had some answer for how I could change my life because if my life in that moment was as good as a yes I didn’t want to keep going and that was a very sobering moment for me that was my wake-up call that was 20 years ago that was the first day of my journey into personal development I am so grateful to Tony Robbins for that moment and countless others in our 20-year journey together but I am so grateful that that was my wake-up call because in that moment my life began to take a different trajectory instead of living a life by default I started creating my life by design I started to take action I got a message the other day in an email that said um if you want to live a different life start living a different life I know that sounds really simple but that’s exactly what I was doing I wanted a different life so I started being different if you keep doing what you’ve been doing you’d keep getting what you’ve been getting these are all quotes that are saying the same thing but the message this isn’t just some tweetable crap that’s great to hear or stitch on a pillow this is a call to action the difference between people who actually hear that and create a different life like I have over the last 20 years no not even recognizable to where I started out to today and the millions of other people who have done that with their life is action you must take different action and you must be different in your life if you want to experience a different life fat that’s what happened with me I started with I’m buying those tapes back then 20 years ago from Tony Robbins personal power I’m very full circle moment a few years back when I joined Tony on QVC to give my experience with his program I was literally there with Tony Robbins talking about how my life is completely transformed I love Who I am I love who I get to be my relationship is amazing I love my weight my health my fitness my money everything in my life my beautiful children I’m compared to I was it was very full circle to actually serve the people who maybe where I was starting out by joining him on QVC and talking about this that’s why I do these videos every week to and speak to you and not because I just listened to tapes it’s not because I just read books yes I have really thrown my whole self into this journey and studied with some of the greatest experts in the world and traveled and read and done program and I took action what I learned you can’t learn your way to a different life it doesn’t work that way you have to show up differently people think that life changes in some big momentous way but the truth is your life changes in every one of those little moments it’s the little moment where somebody says something to you and you pause and respond differently instead of reacting the way you used to it’s those moments where you previously would have been held back by fear feeling uncomfortable about the unknown and you pause and you step out in faith and follow your instincts to do what’s right it’s those little moments when you could hold back and protect but instead you open up to that person it’s those little moments where you could sit quiet but instead you profess amazingly beautiful feelings to somebody and really serve them in those little moments of your life you’re creating your life by design it’s not some big moment it’s every little moment if you want to change your life you must change well it’s in those little moments that you change those moments of decisions shape your destiny as Tony says and this is why and so so many people that I’m blessed to serve will come to me at some point and say you know like I’ve learned this tool or I’ve heard you say this but I’m still stuck and it’s because you’re not changing your action in the moment it’s not comfortable it’s not easy it can be scary but it’s so worth it and so I ask you if you’ve been stuck in inaction where you’ve been cognitively learning a lot but not so much shifting your life what if this is as good as it gets I’ll take that great question that my mentor and friend Tony gave to me that was a gift I’d like to pass that gift on to you take a look at your life the different areas of your life and really sit for a moment and answer the question what if this is as good as it gets if it’s not quite what you want it to be then please please take action take the next step take action to change your life in those moments and usually it’s by doing something that’s different than the way you’ve done it I started listening to those tapes back then what are you going to listen to whatever what program are you going to work what are you going to change what can you put in place in your life to take new action if this area of relationship is the area that you would like to get better in your life Paul and I have a tremendous resource for you we’ve been working on creating a video series to empower you to transform your relationship you know the way we do
