Tony Robbins

The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and start being excited about what could go right.

If you talk about it, it’s a dream. If you envision it, it’s possible. If you schedule it, it’s real.

You’re already a financial trader. You might not think of it in just this way, but if you work for a living, you’re trading your time for money. Frankly, it’s just about the worst trade you can make. Why? You can always get more money, but you can’t get more time.

The only reason we don’t have what we want in life is the reasons we create why we can’t have them.

Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through my conscious thoughts.

You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully.

In life you need either inspiration or desperation.

Success is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want.

It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives.

People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them.

Life is nothing but a mirror of your consistent thoughts.

The quality of your life is directly related to how much uncertainty you can comfortably handle.

The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it's who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment.

Remember: Rewards come in action, not in discussion.

You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events - how we interpret them - that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow.

Whatever you consistently think about and focus upon you move toward.

No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying.

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.

Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.

It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.

Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.

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

It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.

We aren't in an information age, we are in an entertainment age.

The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we will instantly change our behaviors.

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.

Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives.

I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.

There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.

The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

Live with passion!

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.

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

As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it.

The single common denominator of men and women who achieve great things is a sense of destiny.

Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.

Your focus becomes your future.
