If you want to make some, no any, change in your life then this video is for you.
You can do everything and anything you want to if it's something you must do, but the
key is always have the mindset to achieve and follow a strategy to follow through and
do what must be done.
Today we learn again from Tony Robbins, as we break down fundamental principles and the
strategy to achieving using his methods.
So with that said, let's get straight into it.
1) Patterns make people achieve or do or feel negative
First and foremost before we talk about mindset, strategy or where you should focus when trying
to do something, we first need to understand how our state and perspective play a role
in how we approach something.
You see the world is made up of patterns, and by understanding those patterns we take
control of our lives in the areas we want to.
So let's take Warren Buffet as an example, here is a man who understand financial patterns
and specifically patterns in investing that has allowed him to build his fortune.
There's a consistent strategy that he's used in his life to make his money and he repeats
it over and over again to get consistent results and avoid losses.
And this isn't just the case in the financial world, it works in all parts of life.
Those who follow football will be aware of Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as one
of the greatest footballers of all time now and recognised for his work ethic.
Now if you ever watch Ronaldo take a freekick, he goes through a routine, repeating the same
process and strategy that works for him to be recognised as one of the best in the world.
He places the ball with purpose, steps back three to four paces and stands legs wide apart
and completely straight up.
He'll also generally on actually kicking the ball take the same run up, roughly the same
number of steps and runs at the ball at the same angle before finally kicking it, again
with a consistency that few can match.
The point is, he's worked out a strategy that works for him taking free kicks, just as Warren
Buffet uses a consistent strategy to assess possible investments.
What works is repeated and usually when the same process is repeated if the variables
in play are relatively consistent the results will be too.
So how does this relate to state and achieving?
Well, you see what Warren Buffet and Cristiano Ronaldo do is they effectively prime themselves
before they take action.
They set themselves up for success by repeating the patterns that have worked for them previously.
Now let's look at how you apply this.
Think of a time when you were successful, what was your mindset at the time before you
took action and did what you had to?
My guess is you had belief and conviction you would do what you had to right?
Now think of a failure and do the same again.
What was your mindset?
This time, I'm guessing there were doubts and hesitation in some form.
Usually in those moments when you believed it would work out and it didn't, you can point
to specific moments that ultimately led to failure.
What you want to do is identify what worked and repeat that process.
If it was that you spent 10 minutes meditating at the start of the day to help you clear
your mind, do it.
If it was that you pumped yourself up by listening to incredibly motivating music.
Do it!
The point is, repeat the patterns of success and you can repeat the results.
But from there, you also need follow some key principles that will help you deal with
any situation and approach it in a way that allows you to achieve success in the end.
2) Be yourself and live life on your terms Now before I begin it's critical to note you
have to live life on YOUR terms.
Take ownership and be the leader of your life.
The reason is that unless you fully believe and commit to what you want to do on your
terms, then chances are there'll be parts of you that will hamper your progress and
lead to disappointment or you being miserable.
So own your life and then follow this strategy, which is:
1) See it as it is, not worse than it is.
See the truth First and foremost when you assess a situation
then be completely honest with yourself.
What does this mean, see the situation for what it is and not for how you feel about
it.
That means, see what it is you want to solve, as normally when you work towards something,
it's to make a change to something you aren't satisfied with.
However, then also see it for what it is, which may be something you want to change,
but due to the stress and emotional strain it places on you, you see as something disastrous
when in reality it's something that can be changed if you focus on what outcome you want,
not the perceived problem.
So let's look at an example.
Let's say you have a struggling relationship with someone you care about.
Perhaps in this instance to you it might that the relationship is doomed and irreparable.
That might be the case, but in most cases people don't want the emotional stress of
a bad relationship hanging over them, which feels like a massive weight on their shoulders.
So the objective view to take is while you might not be able to completely save this
relationship if the other person doesn't want the same, at the very least, you can at least
find a resolution or some form of closure on the relationship to move forward in life.
It's a case of acknowledging the truth, which is there might be a significant issue, but
also acknowledging the reality that there could be ways to at least manage things to
give both parties some closure and move on without the weight and stress in their lives.
2) See it Better than it is (set your standard) Now, the next step of the strategy to achieve
success is to see things better than they are.
What does this actually mean?
Well, if we take our relationship example, I described that the situation might be that
you have a damaged relationship that you're not sure is completely reparable, but at the
very least there could be room for closure.
That in itself would better than things staying as they are right?
Because at least you get to move forward and not stay stuck under this emotional weight.
However, let's take it a step further, perhaps you've done some due diligence and through
mutual friends or a text that isn't completely closing off the relationship you can see the
possibility of things in this relationship actually being repaired.
In this instance, if you want to repair the relationship you have to have the vision to
see what kind of relationship you want to make reality.
And as with all goal setting and targets, your vision has to be believed with absolute
conviction, as though not only is it a possibility, but an inevitability.
So once you objectively look at the problem and you have the vision of making it better,
what's next?
3) Make it better (resourceful, not resourcefulness) Unsurprisingly, it's time to take action and
make it better.
Now at this point many will struggle saying they haven't got the resources, whether it
be time, money or something else altogether.
However, here's the truth, to quote Tony Robbins it's not a lack of resources, but a lack of
resourcefulness.
Think about it, how many people have come from seemingly impossible odds to achieve
unbelievable results.
I've actually created a video on one of the best examples many can think of, which is
Oprah.
She was born in unfortunate circumstances, poverty, abuse and rape and she lost a baby
at the age of 13.
She had no links, no relationships or money and yet overcame all the odds to be one of
the most influential and richest women in the world today.
How?
Because she had the mindset and resourcefulness to achieve her vision, which was a life beyond
what she experienced as a child and one of abundance.
So in the case of our example with a strained relationship, perhaps the person you wish
to improve the relationship with isn't will to communicate at this particular moment.
That is possibly the most critical resource of any relationship, but that doesn't mean
you can't do anything.
You see if direct communication isn't possible, indirect communication through mutual friends
and acts of kindness are still possible.
The point isn't just do these things and the situation will be automatically resolved,
because it depends on the problems to begin with, but rather that there are always options
available to you to make progress to fulfilling your vision.
4) Continue to make progress to be happy Finally, not specifically a step Tony Robbins
says as part of this strategy, but one I'm adding because it's something that's critical
to feeling happiness and satisfaction in life.
That is, always continue to make progress with what you've begun.
You see, in the case of our relationship example, if you repair a relationship but then don't
continue to grow and evolve that relationship, it will stagnate and again end up in a rut.
Likewise, Warren Buffet has had prolonged continued success because he's progressed
with the times and with his growth during the years that have passed.
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to be one of the best in the world as he's made small steps
to improve his free kicks so that they aren't too predictable and opposing teams continue
to struggle to stop them despite studying his technique.
So to reiterate the strategy: 1) See things as they are
2) See things better than they are 3) Make things better than they are
4) Make Progress Now, go out into the world, take action and
follow these steps to achieve
the results you desire in life!
So for today's question of the day, I want
to know what is the next thing you want to take ownership of, whether it's your career,
relationships, fitness and health or anything.
