Our beliefs about what we are and what we can be, precisely determine what we will be.

   

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. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the
cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be
an excellent example of being human.

      
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. This level of resolve can move
mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As
simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common
denominator separating those who live their dreams from
those who live in regret.
  
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.
   

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.

     

If we believe in magic, we'll live a magical life.
If we believe our life is defined by narrow limits,
we've suddenly made those beliefs real.

   

  

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.

   

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.

   

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

   
    
Anthony "Tony" Robbins (born February 29, 1960) is an American self-help author and motivational speaker. He became well known through his infomercials and self-help books, Unlimited Power: The New Science Of Personal Achievement and Awaken The Giant Within. Robbins writes about subjects such as health and energy, overcoming fears, persuasive communication, and enhancing relationships. Robbins began his career learning from many different motivational speakers, and promoted seminars for his personal mentor, Jim Rohn. He is deeply influenced by neuro-linguistic programming and a variety of philosophies.

Robbins's work has been featured in major media including Time, Newsweek, Fortune, Forbes, Life, GQ, Vanity Fair, Business Week, Tycoon and Success magazines, the CBS Evening News, NBC News, ABC's Prime Time Live, Fox News, CNN and A&E as well as newspapers, radio programs, and Internet media worldwide. Robbins has been mentioned or featured in 15 major motion pictures, including a cameo role a romantic comedy film Shallow Hal.  In 2007, he was named to Forbes magazine's "Celebrity 100" list.

Robbins' programs have reached over 4 million people from 100 countries around the world.

Robbins was ranked among the “Top 50 Business Intellectuals in the World” by Accenture’s Institute for Strategic Change.  Robbins has spoken at Harvard Business School and was ranked by the school among the “Top 200 Business Gurus” (Harvard Business School Press, 2003). It was estimated by Forbes Magazine that Robbins earned approximately USD$30 million from his various business activities in 2007.

Robbins began his career promoting seminars for Jim Rohn. According to Robbins, Rohn taught him that "happiness and success in life are not the result of what we have, but rather of how we live. What we do with the things we have makes the biggest difference in the quality of life."

Later Robbins began his own work as a self-help coach. He taught neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and Ericksonian Hypnosis after training with NLP co-founder John Grinder. In 1983, Robbins learned to firewalk from Tolly Burkan and began to incorporate it into his seminars.

Robbins promoted his services as a "peak performance coach" through his books and TV infomercials, gaining strong public recognition and lucrative sales. He conducts a large range of seminars and live events around the world dedicated to achieving greatness in his participants by unleashing their personal power and helping them align their values with their individual life goals. In 1997, Robbins began the Leadership Academy seminar, in which participants learn to "[c]reate an identity for them self as someone who can help 'anyone', no matter what his/her challenge may be." Robbins is a featured speaker on the seminar circuit sponsored by Learning Annex. Robbins appeared as a featured speaker at the 2007 Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) conference. His talk is among the top ten TED talks viewed online.

Robbins is involved with the Robbins-Madanes Center for Strategic Intervention, which focuses on personal, family and organizational psychology, and claims to help people "find breakthrough strategies and solutions for overcoming the problems that confront us all."
