Tony Robbins: The Edge | 6 Steps to Total Success
how y’all doing out there thank you thank you thank you I’m honored and I’m blown away even though this is my 25th year plus doing this I’ve been doing this for a quarter of a century now which is quite amazing form in the process thank you and I’ve had the privilege now working with more than three million people live in events from more than 80 countries around the world so at this stage I got to tell you something I could be an idiot and I would know that there are certain patterns that cause people to be fulfilled to be happy to fit to be strong to feel alive to be vibrant to have passion in their life to do well financially but even more importantly emotionally psychologically spiritually in their health and their relationships and there are also patterns and make people frustrated overwhelmed depressed sad lonely cause them to be struggling financially struggling with their body struggling intimately and those patterns they’re not because there’s something wrong with somebody’s because of a pattern that we’re doing and I spent a quarter of a century of my life basically studying the most successful people in the world and the most challenged and figure out what’s the fastest way to create a changed in basically developing the one thing that all people have in common to succeed their leaders this is a Leadership Program because I don’t care what what style you are I don’t care if you’re a mom you’re a great mom you lead your child you’re not led by your child or great dad you’re great businessperson you’re great salesperson you’re a great negotiator you’re great anything you’re great human being things this has been my entire life’s obsession what makes the difference in people’s lives and that leadership component as I say doesn’t always mean somebody follows you a leader somebody lives life on their terms that you will never settle for less than you can be or share or give or create it’s not what we get that makes us happy it’s who we become how we live our life who we are as a person people can take away all the things but who you become no one can take away and the problem is most of us are trying to be something or not and it isn’t so much about change about changing yourself the chain happens when you be yourself know thyself that’s the hard part for most people and then be thyself because most of us in our lives out of a desire for respect or achievement or love or connection or something we’ve been trying to be the way we think we have to be in order to get that love respect appreciation whatever it is we’ve been after at some unconscious level and we’ve been doing it so long that we think that this is who we are because success without fulfillment is failure I can’t tell you how many people I work with who are supposedly the best in the world at what they do and they have more money than they can spend and they have all these people that love and respect them and yet they’re unhappy inside because if you want to know what’s really you what are you going to be alive is when it’s really you and you may think you know who you are because you’ve been living a certain way but I’ll tell you how you’ll know you’ll feel euphoric you’ll feel strong you’ll feel unlimited you’ll feel free I have seen and a three million people around this earth and 80 countries I’ve seen just better than you can see and there are only so many patterns and what you’re going to find underneath all of this behavior is we have the same needs there are six human needs we’re going to review tonight when you understand what those needs are and which ones you’re focusing on you start to understand why people do the crazy things they do including you and I and you begin to understand hey there might be a better way to meet my needs I don’t have to get caught up in this game of stress and frustration upset or I could really help this person I care about because I could see what’s really going on part of what we want to accomplish here as leaders is we want to become practical psychologists we want to understand what’s really going on so we can help so we can make a difference so we can transform so yes of course you can do better in your business because the more you understand about what people need and want but greater you’re going to be the better manager a better leader the better mom or dad the better friend and there’s a better you that’s available when you understand what’s driving you but most of us are running patterns over and over again and we want to free that up to free it up we got to break the pattern we got to do things that are different so we’re going to do something different I’m not here because I believe in positive thinking if you think’s that’s what I believe you don’t know much about me I’m not one of those people who believes you’re supposed to go to your garden and chant there’s no weeds there’s no weeds there’s no weeds there’s weeds right there all right that’s what I believe here’s what I believe I believe if you really want to be effective you got to tell the truth
