What shapes you? What drives you? What is it that REALLY gets you to do things?
We’d probably all like to say that we do things for honorable reasons. That our self motivation is what really keeps us going. That we are motivated by serving others and by doing the “right thing”. If you said that to Tony Robbins at one of his seminars, he’d probably respond, “well, yes and no”.
There are lots of motivation quotes from Tony Robbins about contribution, doing things because it serves others. We are most definitely motivated to action by serving others, but, according to Tony there are 5 other critical human needs that determine what we do and don’t do.
If you’ve ever attended a Tony Robbins seminar, you know what it it takes to really develop self awareness – to get in touch with what is really inside you. If you haven’t attended one of his seminars, this video is a quick way to experience a bit of Tony and think about what his words might mean for you.
In this video Tony is talking about how Decisions and Destiny are intricately linked together, and that no matter what we SAY motivates us, it is really the 6 Human Needs(TM).
We make three kinds of decisions:
- What to focus on – which determines what we even notice from that point forward.
- What it means – which determines what our emotional state will be about it.
- What to do about it – which determines our future results.
How does this fit with destiny?
Ultimately, according to Tony, there are only 2 forces that really shape us.
Our “state” (physical and emotional) – and this shapes us in the moment.
Our model of the World or world view – and this shapes us for the long term.
The 6 human needs fall in the long-term arena because ultimately they are what we are after.
I hope you enjoy this video. It is about 22 minutes long, and if you’ve ever attended a Tony Robbins seminar, you know that 22 minutes is probably a record!
Let me know what you think about what he says, and how you might use it to affect the way you look at decisions and destiny.
