Wealth Guru - Tony Robbins

Seeing Tony Robbins (Anthony Robbins) live was an inspirational experience. Today I had such an opportunity where I sitting in a crowd of over 50 thousand people heard him deliver his talk or actually more of a jump up and shout speech "Unleash the Power Within!". One of the major points from the speech for me was "turning shoulds into musts". The idea was that rather than saying to ourselves we really should get more exercise or should eat better that we have to say to ourselves I must do. Things in our lives we must do generally happen. Like seeing our favorite TV program's season finale, it is a must see. We make the time and effort to do it. Sort of reminded me of what Yoda said, "there is no try, only do." To take what Tony Robbins said to the next logical step would
be to
determine what things we "must" do. Possibly we need to look beyond
ourselves for a moment and see what the musts of those who inspire us
would be. Possibly adopting musts of these people could lead us to
greater prosperity.

Then next thing is to realize that not only must we "make our shoulds
into musts" but we must make some of musts into shoulds. Sometimes
it is
things that we do that actually hurt us the most. Back to the
example of
the favorite TV program finale many of us would have it as a must but
couldn't it be a should. If the time we sacrifice for our must takes
away from the things that will move us forward then really these
things
have to be given less priority. We can always TIVO the show, we can't
TIVO life.

I highly recommend seeing either Tony Robbins live or checking out his
books and CDs. This was only one point that I took from a 3 hour
speech
there many more insightful lessons to be learned.
