I was listening to a Tony Robbins video on Re-Awaken the Giant and the following words caught my attention:
“Nothing you get will ever make you happy … nothing.
But, who you become will make you very happy or very sad.”
Those are powerful words of wisdom and tremendous insight.
I went back and reviewed the video to pick up a little more.
Here’s Tony’s insight into how you can lead a life of growth and greatness, in a personal way, your way, the progress way.
It’s Who You Become
It’s not what you get, it’s who you become.
Tony Robbins says:
“Here’s a reminder of what I think everybody knows in their heart, nothing you get will ever make you happy … nothing. it doesn’t matter how many people respect you, how much money you have, how many things you have, we all know that.
But, who you become will make you very happy or very sad.”
The One Word that Will Make You Happy: Progress
Your personal progress is the key to your personal happiness.
Tony Robbins says:
“So ultimately there is one way to test your life.
In the business of your life, make sure you take just a few minutes to give yourself the gift of making progress everyday.
That’s the one word that will make you happy … progress.”
Momentum Will Make You Happy
When you start to take action in the right direction, your momentum lifts you in more ways than one.
Tony Robbins says:
“It doesn’t matter what you achieve.
It feels good for only so long … you know you got it it’s wonderful, it’s exciting, you’re appreciated, and then you move on, but if you’re still growing, if you’re not growing you’re dying, if you’re making progress, and you’re not where you want to be physically, but, all of a sudden, you took this book and you started to make some simple changes and you started to walk, move, exercise, you make a couple dietary changes, you got some energy now, that you start feeling every day, even if you’re not yet to the 30 pounds you want to lose …
just the momentum will make you happy.
If you’re in a relationship where you’re settling, or you’re not in a relationship and you’re settling for being alone when something inside of you craves more and this book triggers you and gives you the plan of how to finally connect and break through your own fears and connect with people and light them up the way you really want to, just, even before you’re there, just the progress will light you up.”
We All Have to Keep Growing to Feel Alive
It’s growing that keeps us alive, from the inside out.
Tony Robbins says:
“And we all have to keep growing to feel that alive.
So whether it be progress in your business, progress in your body, progress in your energy, your relationships, your kids, your finances, your career, I don’t care what it is, that’s what my life is about, so my heart felt wish for you is that this video becomes a trigger for more progress.”
Follow your growth as your persona path of happiness and greatness.
