Anthony Robbins

To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive
the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.
– Anthony Robbins

For changes to be of any true value, they’ve got to be lasting and consistent.
– Anthony Robbins

In life you need either inspiration or desperation.
– Anthony Robbins

If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.
– Anthony Robbins

Most people fail in life because they major in minor things.
– Anthony Robbins

The path to success is to take massive, determined action.
– Anthony Robbins

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.
– Anthony Robbins

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

I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life’s greatest rewards
are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they
achieve.
– Anthony Robbins

Passion is the genesis of genius.
– Anthony Robbins

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.
– Anthony Robbins

You can’t have a plan for your day, ’til you have a plan for your life.
– Anthony Robbins

Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus
all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.
– Anthony Robbins

The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck.
– Anthony Robbins

Success in life is the result of good judgment. Good judgment is usually the result of
experience. Experience is usually the result of bad judgment.
– Anthony Robbins

The quality of your life is in direct proportion to the quality of your relationships.
– Anthony Robbins

There are 2 different kinds of motivation: Push requires willpower, and willpower never lasts.
What will last is pull – having something so exciting, so attractive, something you desire so
much that you have a hard time going to sleep at night, you get up so early in the morning
and take it to the next level. That’s what you’re looking to get.
– Anthony Robbins

Reasons come first, answers come second. If you got a compelling vision and you got strong
enough reasons that will push you through the tough times, you’re gonna do things that other
people don’t do.
– Anthony Robbins

Personal power is the ability to take action.
– Anthony Robbins

Your past does not equal your future. What matters is not yesterday but what you do right
now. So many people are trying to drive into the future using a rearview mirror to guide
themselves! If you that, you’ll crash.
– Anthony Robbins

You and I must make sure that when problems come up we focus on solutions, that we
focus on where we want to go instead of on what frightens us. Whatever you think about
most you’ll experience.
– Anthony Robbins

Not only was the secret to living giving, but to give, I had to become a better person.
– Anthony Robbins

With simple steps, a little understanding, and massive action – whatever challenges exist now
can be turned into valuable lessons and opportunities for personal growth and long-term
happiness.
– Anthony Robbins

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

When people achieve extraordinary, seemingly impossible goals, they’re often assumed to
have been “fortunate,” “in the right place at the right time,” or “born under a lucky star.” But
I’ve interviewed many of the greatest achievers in the world, and one of the interesting
things I’ve learned is that each of their incredible accomplishments began with the same first
step: the setting of a goal.
– Anthony Robbins

People are rewarded in public for what they practiced for years in private.
– Anthony Robbins

People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to
succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the
tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
– Anthony Robbins

Whatever happens, take responsibility.
– Anthony Robbins

Success and failure are not giant events. They don’t just show up. You don’t just suddenly
become successful or suddenly have this cataclysmic event that makes you fail. They look
that way, but failure comes from all the little things. It’s failure to make the call; it’s failure to
check the books; it’s failure to say, “I’m sorry…” And all those little failures, day after day,
come together to one day some cataclysmic event happens.
– Anthony Robbins

Repetition is the mother of all skill.
– Anthony Robbins

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.
– Anthony Robbins

Every problem is a gift – without problems we would not grow.
– Anthony Robbins

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

It is your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.
– Anthony Robbins

It’s not about the goal. It’s about growing to become the person that can accomplish that
goal.
– Anthony Robbins

There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.
– Anthony Robbins

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions.
It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.
– Anthony Robbins

When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears.
– Anthony Robbins

I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those
people who live what they teach, who walk their talk.
– Anthony Robbins

Let fear be a counselor and not a jailer.
– Anthony Robbins

Everybody in life gets their “should’s”, they don’t get their “must’s.”
– Anthony Robbins

If you can’t you must, and if you must you can.
– Anthony Robbins

Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a
relationship in order to get something: They’re trying to find someone who’s going to make
them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship
as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.
– Anthony Robbins

I always tell people, “If you wanna know how to change your lives, I’ll give it to you in 3
words, boring as it sounds, – raise your standards!”
– Anthony Robbins

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

Choosing a goal may cause only a slight change in your life’s direction at first. It’s like one of
those huge freighters at sea: If the captain shifts course by just a few degrees, it won’t be
noticeable immediately. But in several hours or days, this change in direction will bring the ship
to a completely different destination.
– Anthony Robbins

Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people
overestimate what they can accomplish in a year and underestimate what they can achieve
in a decade.
– Anthony Robbins

Live life fully while you’re here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends.
Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You’re going to anyway, so you might as
well enjoy the process.
– Anthony Robbins

People who fail focus on what they will have to go through; people who succeed focus on
what it will feel like at the end.
– Anthony Robbins

You don’t always get your goals, but you always get your standards.
– Anthony Robbins

How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I’m committed to?
– Anthony Robbins

Your focus can literally save your life. One of the things I enjoy most is racing cars. I’ll never
forget the most important lesson I learned in race car driving school. The teacher said, “The
most important thing for you to remember is how to come out of a skid.” (That’s a good
metaphor for life, isn’t it? Sometimes we get in a skid where we feel like we’re out of control.)
“The key to this is very simple,” he instructed. “What most people do when they start to go
into a skid is focus on what they fear – the wall. Instead, you must focus on where you want
to go.” I’m sure you’ve heard about people who are driving down some back road in their
sports car, and all of a sudden they lose control. For miles around, there’s only one telephone
pole, but somehow they manage to hit it. The reason is that as soon as people lose control,
they zero in on exactly what they want to avoid – and they connect with it. The reality is
that whatever you focus on you move toward.
– Anthony Robbins

The harder you prepare, the luckier you seem to get.
– Anthony Robbins

You see, we all have problems, disappointments, and frustrations, but it’s how we deal with
our setbacks that will shape our lives more than anything else we do.
– Anthony Robbins

Beliefs are very powerful, so you’ve got to be careful about what you choose to believe,
especially about yourself. I can tell that throughout the years, there are certain beliefs that
have really helped me:

“There’s always a way to turn things around if I’m committed.”
“There are no failures in life. As long as I learn anything from something, then I’ve succeeded.”
“God’s delays are not God’s denials.”
“The past does not equal the future.”
“In any moment, I can change my entire life by making a decision.”
– Anthony Robbins

I think people have to educate themselves to what’s really happening right now. We are going
through a transition. It’s a season. And every generation has faced some pretty tough
seasons, at some stage. Some do it at a very young age, some do it at an older age. And we
talk about the “great generation.” If you are born in 1910, you know, by the time you are 20
years old you were in the Great Depression. When you are 30, you were in World War II. So
our generation has had it fairly easy… With every season there are challenges. Just like
nature’s seasons. And there are opportunities.
– Anthony Robbins

There’s no abiding success without commitment.
– Anthony Robbins

The fastest way to change how you feel about anything is to change what you’re focusing
on. If you want to feel lousy right now, it would be pretty easy, wouldn’t it? All you’d have to
do is think about something painful that’s happened in your life and focus all your attention
on it – if you thought about it long enough you’d feel lousy again. How ridiculous! Would you
sit through a lousy movie over and over again? Of course not! So why go to a lousy movie in
your mind?
– Anthony Robbins

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.
– Anthony Robbins

You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know.
Knowing is not enough! You must take action.
– Anthony Robbins

All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs.
– Anthony Robbins

A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. If there’s no action,
you haven’t truly decided.
– Anthony Robbins

Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves you.
– Anthony Robbins

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

Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a
result, they get better answers.
– Anthony Robbins

You become what you do most of the time.
– Anthony Robbins

Every man dies. Not every man lives.
– Anthony Robbins

If you talk about it, it’s a dream, if you envision it, it’s possible, but if you schedule it, it’s
real.
– Anthony Robbins

The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of
our lives.
– Anthony Robbins

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.
– Anthony Robbins

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.
– Anthony Robbins

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

Your physical body today is an absolute reflection of only one thing: not your goals, not your
desires, but your standards.
– Anthony Robbins

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

If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy
what they do and you’ll achieve the same results.
– Anthony Robbins

Very often people say, “Well, I can’t do that! I’m not that kind of person.” And I always say to
people, “Really? When did you define yourself?”
– Anthony Robbins

Joy comes when you are spontaneous. It’s really hard to be truly happy when you’re not being
yourself… So a big part of my work, if you have ever been to an event, is to get people to do
things spontaneously, without thinking – because that’s when the real you shows up. That’s
when the energy comes alive.
– Anthony Robbins

Who you spend time with is who you become.
– Anthony Robbins

The reason we set goals is to give our lives focus and to move us in the direction we would like
to go. Ultimately, whether or not you achieve a goal is not half as important as the type of
person you become in pursuit of it.
– Anthony Robbins

If you look at any of the most successful people in history, you will find this common thread:
They would not be denied. They would not accept no. They would not allow anything to stop
them from making their vision, their goal, a reality.
– Anthony Robbins

Massive, consistent action with pure persistence and a sense of flexibility in pursuing your
goals will ultimately give you what you want, but you must abandon any sense that there is
no solution.
– Anthony Robbins

Ultimately, it’s our decisions, not the conditions of our lives, that determine our destiny.
– Anthony Robbins

Right now, you must be a friend to yourself. You can’t “beat yourself up” about what’s
happened; instead, you must immediately focus on solutions instead of problems.
– Anthony Robbins

Success is the result of good judgement.
Good judgement is the result of experience.
Experience is often the result of bad judgement.
– Anthony Robbins

Before something happens in the world, it must first happen in your mind.
– Anthony Robbins

Ultimately, the only way to experience the richness of life is to live in an attitude of gratitude:
to appreciate what you have and what you can give. The best way to ensure your happiness
is to assist others in experiencing their own.
– Anthony Robbins
