Tony Robbins Inspirational Quotations

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

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

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

My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.

The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you.

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

Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thin was changing what I demanded of myself.

Success is buried on the other side of rejection.

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

Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.

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

For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent. Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards...

Whatever happens, take responsibility... The only thing that's keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself.

Many people say, "Well, I'd love to make a decision like that, but I'm not sure how I could change my life." They're paralyzed by the fear that they don't know exactly how to turn their dreams into reality. And as a result, they never make the decisions that could make their lives into the masterpieces they deserve to be. I'm here to tell you that it's not important initially to know how you're going to create a result. What's important is to decide you will find a way, no matter what.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that all the challenges in their lives would dissipate if they just had enough money. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Let's face it, we're not about to earn our way to wealth. That's a mistake millions of Americans make. We think that if we work harder, smarter, longer, we'll achieve our financial dreams, but our paycheck alone-no matter how big-isn't the answer.

At the end of the day, the question to ask yourself is this: do your expenses, big and small, bring you the thrill they once did?

As a species, we're not only wired to choose today over tomorrow, but we hate to feel like we're losing out on something. The bottom line is, if we feel like we're losing something we avoid it, we won't do it. That's why so many people don't save and invest. Saving sounds like you're giving something up, you're losing something today. But you're not.

If we don't consciously plant the seeds of what we want in the gardens of our minds we'll end up with weeds.
